So MSU is now a no-huddle team...

“It’s hot. It stinks. It smells like cows. It’s a farm,” quarterback Dak Prescott said. “A little rain makes it muddy. When the mud comes, it’s even worse.”

This year not only brought mud and pads, but a new offensive scheme too.

“With us going no-huddle this year, there’s a lot of guys anxious,” Beckwith said.

I read that this morning and really like it. It just adds another dimension and

I honestly believe it has been very beneficial for Ole Miss and I hope it will do the same for us.

Beckwith also said that last week. Mullen was asked about it and he said we were a ball control team. Not sure who to believe.

I'm guessing Mullen is trying to keep it under wraps and Beckwith, with the lights and cameras in his face, went Honest Abe on their asses.

“With us going no-huddle this year, there’s a lot of guys anxious,” Beckwith said.

Will use HUNH as a 'change of pace' and as just another way to keep defenses off balance.

One of my gripes for last year was that we seemed to constantly wait until there was 3, 2 or 1 seconds left to hike the ball, destroying any 'advantage' of knowing the snap count. Snap it on a ‘quick count’ occasionally. Sometimes last year, the defense got better jumps than our offense. Change the cadence of the count to get an easy 5 yards.

Put Dak under center in short yardage or goal line situations. Put Griffin, Shump or Robinson in at FB in the "I" formation. Think of Diamond formation with Dak, Griffin, Robinson and Shump in the backfield. Plus, it puts the QB sneak back into the playbook

Keep the defense on their heels. Become ‘unpredictable.’

You can be no huddle without being hurry-up...

MSU kind of did that way back when Watson Brown was Sherrill's OC. They didn't huddle, but they spent a lot of time standing at the line and sending in signals and players. Of course, the cool thing about that was you could snap the ball at just about any point, so the defense had to constantly be ready.

I like when Mullens goes up tempo for one or two drives, but I wouldn't like it for the whole game. I think they need to control the clock in the long run.

I hope we're taking preventative measures against staph infection.

We could run the Diamond formation with Dak, Griffin, Robinson, and Shump/Williams all damn day and I wouldn't complain.

No huddle can give some defenses problems, so hopefully we use it against those teams and other situations where it is applicable, even if we don't run it all or most of the time.

Not knowing the play before it is run would be a change of pace as a State fan. I think it is a distinct possibility that we will see a lot of different looks now that Dan has his type of QB in place, an experienced OLine, quality recievers, and our normal stable of stacked RBs. A few quick snaps here and there could be brutal with the size of our backfield.

I would normally be against it, just because of the position it can put your defense in and we've usually had trouble enough executing one version of an offense, much less mixing in no huddle. But with the depth we have on defense, we really should be able to weather any bad stretches and could really wear out the other teams D when it's going well.

No huddle can give State problems. Hopefully they do better in 2014 than 2011.

Hm. I can see some of the bear crowd having fun with that one. Wonder why it would smell like cows?...Not that there's anything wrong with that.

One would expect ...

That our defense would be better prepared for it "if' we also practice against it in camp.

So True...

It can only help our offense to be more versatile.

Thinking it's an option to use to change Momentum or keep defenses off balance. I doubt it's throw the eggs into one basket kinda thing.
