I think Lester/HCSS are erring towards ball control timing to keep our Defense off the field as well rested as possible.
We did seem to be moving the ball well with tempo when we were working on the comeback against LSU, and I do love what tempo football brings to the table.

I would think maybe if you mix it in, tempo only comes out after two consecutive 3 and outs forced by our defense or a short possession turnover forced by our defense or something like that. That way our defense is going to be as rested and fired up as possible and the opponent's is going to be as tired and off balance as possible. Agreed though, if you mix in a few drives per game of tempo it is going to screw with the opposing defense and a DC's substitution patterns.

You could probably also have the GA's track the opponents substitution patterns and only go tempo once the most tired or least experienced players are on the field. Keeping them out there against your 1s.
