The Facts:

Bush added: "That means our conditioning is going to have to be high, and we're going to run a lot of plays in real games. So that's something we have got to be prepared for. We've got to play fast and know the system; we can't have split-second indecision because it could mess up a play or a whole drive. ..." Most noteworthy, however, would be Bush's concerns about the team's ability to keep up with the tempo during games. "That's a lot of plays. I was just asking our running back coach (Jeff Nixon), 'Is this going to be the temp in the game?'" he said. "We're pretty fast right now, but usually we practice faster than we should play. I don't know, we'll see. Hopefully the tempo will go down a little bit and save some guys because that's a lot of plays in one game. ..."

According to Dilfer, the theory would be the faster tempo will make it difficult for opposing defenses to make personnel changes and adjustments. It could also lead to a lot of offensive snaps if run effectively. ... We'll be watching for more.
