Day must wonder how Tennessee and Ole Miss do it. Ohio State likes playing up-tempo offense as well, but Day says its harder to do now because “the referee just stands over the ball for 10 seconds and looks at you.

Playing up-tempo in college is also difficult because it demands discipline. The Buckeyes average just 5 penalties a game, a strong number that reflects on the Buckeyes being the No. 3 team in the nation.
