re tempo: The key is completions and positive gains.  From the stands you can see just how this uptempo offense, to an extent, can negate superior talent. Once we actually string together some completions and positive gains, you can see how the defense gets disjointed and unorganized.   I would love to know our conversion % on 3rd and call in less then 4, AFTER already converting at least one 1st down.  It seems we convert at a very high %.  I recall a couple of times under this situation just looking at how the defense was lined up, or trying to line up, and saying to myself we got this.

On a semi-related note...We need to find a way to get our interior run game going. I am surprised we are having as little success as we have had. You would have thought that the interior OL would have been a strength of the team? Also, Strickland doesn't look nearly as explosive as he did last year.  Neal is nice, but he still needs to pack on some size.  You would think Fredericks would be the perfect RB to get this downhill running game going?  Either way, they have to stick with it, and try to establish it.  Once they get that going it will really open things up, and get their tempo clicking.
