Weeks 0 and 1 are essentially done.
Yes, less football and more commercials. It really sucks, we know and we all suffer it.
Less plays and possessions, less time for a comeback. We all saw this.
Football question - How does this impact the game, the coaching, the strategy? Is a 2-min drill even more critical to practice now? Do you now have to coach how to play slow tempo and eat 8-9 mins off a quarter, quite the opposite of what the game has become? Will teams actually start to huddle again to chew up time? Will the use of timeouts now change?
Curious of thoughts, but especially of what coaches are saying and how this will adjust.
For EXAMPLE - Ryan Day is an uptempo pass first kinda guy. When up 20-13 at ND to start the fourth in a major slugfest, does OSU need to know how to run an 7-8 min drive and try to reduce the time remaining? This goes quite counter to his soul as a coach, but may be his best weapon. (Not saying this will happen, just proposing possible changes we may see).
