I would like to see a return to a more up-tempo offense like was run in 2013 under Rudock. That year Iowa offense went from running about 65 plays to 80 plays a game.
This should not be confused with the no-huddle offense that was run in 2011 with JVB. I want a combo of huddling and no-huddle
IOWA' s goal should be to put pressure on defenses by dictating the pace of the game, much like New England does to its opponents. When an offense pushes the pace, it prevents the defense from making adjustments and substitutions. Combined with versatile players, running the occasional no-huddle would give Iowa a significant edge against most defenses.
The caveat is that the offense must execute soundly and the quarterback must have the mental aptitude to force the defense into mistakes. Without those two elements, a quick tempo would only result in quick-ending drives.
Tempo is not necessarily an indicator of how productive an offense will be -- though it's no coincidence that many of the top offenses operate at the quickest pace.
