Air Force ran one of the fastest paced offenses in the country last year (about two seconds faster per snap than Cincinnati by my approximated tempo measure - read about it in HCTI!), but the Falcons also ranked in the top 10 in TOP. That's because they run the ball so much and "possession time" and "real time" tick off together when you run the ball.
