FILE — In this Jan. 27, 2021, file photo, Tennessee's new football coach, Josh Heupel, speaks during an introductory news conference in Knoxville, Tenn.

Offensive linemen like Heupel's new offense because they're snapping the ball and lining back up again so fast they can see defensive linemen wearing down during drives.
