    I like how Justin Wilcox from Tennessee and former Duck compared normal play calling vs coaching against the ducks.

    Variations of the hurry-up and/or no-huddle offense have made appearances for years - at both the college and Pro level. They never seem to last. I've heard at least 3 theories why.

    1) Defenses will always catch up and find counter-measures.

    2) You need just the right personel to run it.

    3) The methodical pace is more comfortable for control-freak coaches. (we might name this the "Nate" theory)

    It will be interesting to see how long the Ducks can sustain their current success. That will determine whether other teams try and copy them.
