For Georgia, tempo is more than an expression for how many plays are run in a scrimmage or practice (and later, games). Tempo describes the focus of the team. It is about conditioning, concentration and effort. It is about reacting rather than thinking. It is having an instinctual understanding of the system. It is how the Dawgs are doing business.
