I know this is supposed to be an up-tempo offense.  It has shown signs of this at times this year, but it nowhere close to catching the opposing D off-guard.  Once a play has been complete, we're pretty good at getting back lined up way before the D is set.  Then we ruin it by looking to the sideline for the full play.  It's the "hurry up and wait" offense.  We either need to give Hunt more room to make calls at the line or just completely get rid of this communication system.

There were at least 10-15 times that we could've gotten the ball off with 4-5 Maryland guys still scrambling around.  I don't give a damn if it is a FB dive, it would result in positive yardage when the NT isn't set.  That is guaranteed.  Allowing the D to get set seems absolutely insane when running the up-tempo.  Hunt needs to have 3-4 instant hand calls he can make at the line when the D isn't set that the entire O can get in order to get a quick play off.

Austin Wilson would make a good third base coach ripping off hand signs all game, but this isn't effective at getting plays off quick.  This is not rocket science.
