Tempo is a MF'er to deal with from a defensive standpoint. Can't sub. Hard to get calls into the defense.
Your defenders get gassed chasing the ball all over the place.

Imagine being a 250lb-300lb Defensive Lineman and you have to rush the passer then turn around a chase skill guys on the perimeter.(ex: bubble, screen, tunnel screen, hitch, etc) Remember: defensive coaches preach all-11 to the ball. After a couple plays those guys get frustrated and gassed. They start coming off the ball slower. That's when you run the football.
This is using the quick passing game to set up the running game.

This is what my coaching mentor (OC) used to do to my defense during practice scrimmages. If the offense completes a few passes my front-7 kids started to get frustrated and gassed.

That's why I 'SMH' when people say the spread ain't physical. Nonsense. It's physical as ****, just not in the way that we perceive as being physical. You're making those "physical" kids on defense (DE's, DT's, LB's) do stuff they don't wanna do...partake in a track meet. (they would rather bang in a phone booth)

The only downfall is if the opposing defense can get stops your defense is right back on the field. However, if that's happening frequently you can always slow your offense down a tad to give those kids a breather.

Dennis liked OCI because it was almost walking (staggering) distance from his house. Bryce was arguably even worse. More than one night we had to dump his *** on the lawn after palmetto high keg parties.

Dennis Ericson's one back offense was way ahead of it's time, hardly anyone had an answer for it.

Didn’t seem to bother Bama any in the second Sugar Bowl. It got pedicable. It worked really well with the right back— Conley and McGuire. My point is that our defense back then could make almost any offense a winner— well maybe not Mark’s. It we go up tempo it will wear on both defenses not just the other teams. That is why up tempo teams have defensive weakness most of the time. If you are going to do it, you need superior depth and conditioning.

After the last 15 years you can go with any offense you want. But it should be what we have the players for not what someone wants to run. We just had our second coach who had “their” system. I want coaches who create for the players on the team, not imagine players they don’t have and try to out smart everyone.

Watch a defense that was light years ahead of Al’s but could not even be seen in the rear view of our old defenses. Al’ D and Mark’s O are so ugly that many a nasty looking chick gets better looking around them. Manny’s defense was okay but nothing to take home to daddy. Rmemeber with up tempo, 3 downs and a punt come much faster and quick scores bring defense back out quick also. Ask yourself a question, if our stupid AD has a stroke and hired Urban, do you think Manny would have been kept as DC if he had not taken Temple job?

Uptempo in Miami weather. Now there is an idea that I'm shocked NO ONE has ever attempted down here. Mind boggling.

Richt actually did it a fair amount his first year with Kaaya. I guess he didn't trust his other QBs to execute it.
