re: Study finds that "up-tempo" offenses are safer

From 2009-2012 the Big 12 teams averaged more snaps played on offense and on defense than any other conference. They had the fewest starts lost to injury on both offense and on defense as well as the lowest injury rate per play on offense and defense.
Funny note that means nothing: If injury math was transitive the SEC would have had to slow its pace to a snap every 44.5 seconds to match the Big 12 totals. Or the Big 12 would have had to pick up the pace to a snap every 12.2 seconds for every game for 4 years.

The SEC plays real man football and they have to go against the grind week in and week out.

Everyone else plays pussy ball and the SEC makes their arse quit.
