1. More chances for an effecient offense is good, no matter what you give to the opponent. It’s holding serve in tennis. You have advantage and are more likely to win if you’re dictating the pace of scoring while you have the ball. Force the other team to hold serve to keep up. The two big upsets we’ve had we were out in front, forcing them to keep scoring.

2. Tempo provides other advantages in addition to more chances to score. The other teams D gets tired. You’ve got more chances to probe a D for weaknesses. It’s different than what teams are used to. You’re forcing them to practice a tempo in prep during the week. Etc.

3. MTSU is the only upset Dino has allowed. It wasn’t due to taking unnecessary risk.

4. We have gotten blown out by more points than we’re used to and this does point to your theory about pressure on our D. But near all of those had our best QB on the sideline. Hard to evaluate the theory when your effeciency drops off a cliff with our backups playing.

5. I see zero proof of your last sentence. It’s not the O system, it’s tempo, or the risks he takes on 4th down - it’s “Dino” ... how do you separate the coach from the system? He’s not coached as a HC without running it.
