Josh Heupel loves to spread defenses out, run an uptempo offense, and take shots in the vertical passing game.
He does this well as an offensive-minded head coach for the University of Tennessee.
Heupel attacked Alabama’s defensive secondary with big plays last week, but the play that stunned everyone at Neyland Stadium, on national television, and the Crimson Tide was a tribute to old-school football. The Volunteers lined up in an I-formation play for one of its touchdowns in a goalline situation. Alabama looked confused about the play, and the onslaught was on from there.
Coach Nick Saban explained it during Thursday’s radio show.
