I've posted this before, but still looking for a good explanation. In 2012 and 2013 we ran as many, or more, plays than anyone in the country. We had two speeds, fast and faster. I understand that put a lot of strain on our defense, so we slowed it down some in 2014. I also understand why we went even slower in 2015 with a freshman QB. 2016 isn't worth discussing, but this year we go even slower than 2015, rarely, if ever, vary the pace, and consistently snap the ball with 5 seconds on the play clock.
So now the question, why the radical change in offensive style over a relatively short time period?
When you look at FAU this year they are doing exactly what we did in 2012 and 2013.
