Utah’s newest offensive coordinator, Troy Taylor, is bringing what he calls the iPhone of offenses to Utah, meaning it’s easy to learn and use. Included with this offense is not only a more passer friendly offense, but also higher tempo. This wouldn’t be the first time that Utah has tried a higher tempo offense in the last handful of seasons.
First, Dennis Erickson installed a higher tempo offense, and it lasted maybe three or four games. Dave Christensen preached tempo, tempo, tempo the moment he stepped on campus. That approached almost lasted as long as he did, as the tempo was throttled back as conference play really kicked off, due to some turnover concerns and the emergence of Devontae Booker.
