from reading interviews of players and coaches that on September 19th in Tuscaloosa Freeze is going to unveil the fastest tempo that we have played at on offense since he has been here.

Neal had a great point on the podcast a week or two ago where he said if you are Saban, you know you will struggle to move the ball on Ole Miss' defense, you know that Ole Miss may struggle against your D, so your game plan has to be to throw everything but the kitchen sink at a new QB. Try and pressure him into a mistake or ineffectiveness. Show him stuff he has never seen on film and see if you can rattle him.

Well if your Freeze and you suspect this how do you counter? By going so balls-to-the-wall fast that Bama doesn't have time to set up all of that exotic stuff. Don't let Saban sub in that third down package. Force them back into their base package.

In spring this offense worked on tempo quite a bit, and from reading the interviews it appears this has carried over into fall camp. Some players are saying they are going faster than they have ever gone before. I think we see a new gear in Bryant Denny.
