Any statisticians on board? It looks to me the author is just dividing number of snaps by possession time. It's a mathematical exercise. I've watched Chip Kellys' version a few times. Sometimes he'll run an actual hurry up. Sometimes it's simply a no-huddle, calling the play at the line, to disallow defensive substitutions.
This article looks like a rehash of 'statistics mean whatever you want them to mean'. Balding men have a higher incidence of heart attack. Has nothing to do with hair, balding men tend to be older, therefore higher incidence of heart attack.

So the HUNH offense is the heart attack, the defenses are the old bald men. Now I get it.

You know whats up.
Just b/c there is no huddle, doesn't mean you aren't using up a lot of the play clock.
It really depends on the situation.
That is why if I am going to only look at simple box score stats I would rather use 3rd down numbers than total yards and points to judge a defense.
Did MrSEC's crack research team even bother to check anything other than raw numbers?
For instance, how many scores were actually made by the opposing offense vs a defensive or special teams play?
What were the situations the opposing team scored in?
Was in the second half of a blowout when backups were getting PT?
There are too many variables to simply look at yards and points to say that a defense is good or not.
