I recently read through Gus Malzahn's book on the Hurry Up No Huddle offense that he first started running in high schools in Arkansas and he now runs at Tulsa. Our offensive staff is considering running our offense in this format this season. Does anyone have any experience with this system and/or any suggestions for us? Thanks.

unless you have superbly conditioned, intelligent, athletes I would not recommend running it as a steady diet! Even then I would be leary. High school level lineman, generally speaking, are just not in that kind of shape to run a hurry up all night. As a change of pace to up the tempo, or in regular hurry up scenarios, sure, but not as a every offensive series thing. Just my opinion as always.

Coach
I watched Tulsa play Army live this year and I must say that I felt the offense hurt Tulsa more than Army. Army was able to stay in the game because they possessed the ball quite a lot. Tulsa defense was on the field for a VERY LONG TIME. I think if you are going to run this offense, in addition to what Tiger one said, I think you had better have a great defense and be comfortable with having those kids out on the field for a long time. The fatigue factor is also going to be a problem if you are playing kids on both sides of the ball. They will never get a rest. Just my opinion and observation.
Hope this helps

I would have to completely disagree with the other coaches on this thread. We have gone to a hurry up no huddle and we will never go back. The advantage it gave us was great. IF you want to know more about exactly what we did check out fullthrottlefootball.blogspot.com. I would be glad to help you install the no huddle if you are interested.

I guess I am not sure who that comment is supposed to be directed toward, but as for our team we had OK athletes, but none better than our competition. It is about controlling the tempo and taking away wasted movements. Our linemen loved the no huddle and were never tired. Part of that might have been the way we practiced. Here are some of the drills we used.

Let me know what you think of them. I think they made all the difference in the way we prepared.

Coach Nichols,

I thought this was JOHN NICHOLS who posted above and if that is not you, please excuse me. Coach, if you have found something where you can run no huddle all night, go for it would be my opinion. I, personally, have run a 3 x 2 spread for over 20 years (long before it was even heard of by most coaches today) and have always found, even though we condition both cardiovascular (running) and strength train year round the whole 12 months with a 2 week break for the holidays, that for linemen who weigh 300 + pounds it is just too much to run hurry up all night. If you have a line of 200 pounders, I can see it. If what you are doing is working well for you, then by all means hang with it coach!
