I think the up tempo would certainly make us more competetive this season, and agree with the poster who said JVB has looked like a square peg in around hole in the first 2 games. I'm not sure we do it all game, but the ability to change the tempo wears out defenses. Look at the time between plays in the last quarter. Iowa was able to get it off as fast as anybody out there, which was a huge supprise to me. It looks as though the team has practiced this tempo enough to be comfotable with it. Another thing I would add is it looks as though Coker may not be the everydown back we thought he would be. In my opinion he is a step to slow in jelling with this o-line. I think we should get closer to splitting caries between Bullock and him and give a few to White to spell them. It looks as though Bullock has the quickness Robinson or Russell did where they can give a sudden move and be upfield quickly whereas Coker has little suddeness to him.
