If you’ve studied this offense you might have heard similar coaching points from others but it was great to get Coach KB’s insight on: His background His thoughts on tempo, tempo creating wide open shots, tempo>perfection Feeding the studs Insight on their RPO TE flat game And for me the answer to why he’s using less big wr splits than his Baylor/FAU days and Heupel does As you might expect, it’s more strategic than tactical but a great talk and happy I got to hear it!
