And the commercial breaks are even longer this year

Any game not involving USF I watch I record and then fast forward through the commercials ( including the Superbowl)

I have always hated commercials, except for the time I spend in Japan. I loved watching Japanese commercials.

I don't think playing fast means more wins necessarily.

Unless we play fast enough to play 16 games instead of 12…then maybe.

You have to  sustain drives and score a lot of points to have playing fast be a plus. If you are getting 3 and outs fast then you are hurting your team.

Do players even need to substitute anymore with modern commercial breaks?

 

Playing fast helps because you get more plays! It’s like taking more shots in basketball. If you average 5 yards a play,  it’s obvious that more plays correlates to more yards. 
 

If you can’t gain yards and keep punting then playing fast can just end up putting you behind and tiring out your defense, which is where “ball control” comes in, but that’s an antiquated style of play. 
 

I think people underestimate the effect of endurance and conditioning. Defenses will get more tired if they have to defend more plays. 
 

The speed also puts pressure on the opposing coaching staff to call plays or make adjustments. Coaches make errors too, and they’ve also got multiple things to be focused on throughout the game, so running plays more frequently makes this attention splitting even more taxing and increases the likelihood the coaches will make errors either in personnel or scheme.

The good news is that Bama hasn't played against an offense running as aggressively as ours. Both Middle Tennessee and Texas run about a play fewer per minute than does USF. Of course, it all comes down to execution, but if our o-line can finally click, maybe we make things somewhat interesting. I'm just hoping to keep it within 2 scores for the 1st half and 4 scores for the game.

Is our offense aggressive or fast? I would say Texas offense was aggressive since they won the game. Ill go with ours is fast since we will not win the game.
