We ran about 10% of our plays out of the no huddle (7 plays out of 73).  I believe those were the 7 plays where we scored to end the first half (excluding Hogan's spike to kill the clock).  Obviously for much of the second half, we were trying to consume clock, so huddling was a deliberate strategy, but we did gain 10.7 yards per play on no huddle plays.  There is anecdotal evidence that our offense has worked better without a huddle, so it is something we might want to consider doing more of.

By the way, there is nothing that says no huddle must equate with not killing the clock.  We can go up to the line of scrimmage without a huddle, do a bunch of motions, and still run the play with a mere couple seconds on the play clock.

BC

The high yards per play average in the situation you described (end of the half) might also be partly attributable to a prevent defense.

Not saying we shouldn't run the no-huddle more often, but the last minute or so of half or game are notorious for defenses dropping deep and giving up the first chunk of yards.
