Oklahoma runs a no huddle offense and the difference between Oklahoma and everyone else is staggering. The Sooners have run 1,131 plays this season. The second most plays this season for a team is Troy with 997, also in 13 games. That’s 134 more plays from scrimmage than any other team this season and with an average of 70 and 8 plays per game, the Sooners have had two more games worth of offensive plays more than most of their opponents.
The numbers that no huddle attack puts up is staggering. Landry Jones has 4,289 yards passing and 35 touchdowns. Ryan Broyles has 118 catches and 1,451 yards and 13 touchdowns while running back Demarco Murray has 1,121 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns.
Here is wide receiver Broyles on that high-octane offense.
“It’s one of the greatest in the country,” Broyles said. “We don’t huddle and we use our time well. We can get mismatches on substitutions. I am glad we are in this offense.
“We don’t drop back on defense (like basketball), but we run and gun and keep the pressure on the defense.”
“You can’t prepare for it. A team ran extra sprints to play us – that’s weird– and guys on the field are like – What are you doing? You are going too fast?”
