And apparently the helmet rule was put in to allow Bama to keep their players on the field.

I could see #5 getting dicey.

#7 is stupid. So if you try to clock it inside of 3 seconds to go, do they call the game over?

Bama will not be called on this by SEC Officials... unless the game is out of reach

When rule changes come out. Don't read them. I'd rather be naive, than pissed off. I learned this a couple years ago in NFL. Change is going to keep coming. And it's going to keep getting more ridiculous.
100% agree No. 3 will screw LSU one day.

Check out #7:

A team needs at least three seconds on the clock in order to spike the ball and play another down. The three-second minimum creates reasonable time for the additional play.

I don't get that either. They say its to have a reasonable amount of time to run a play, but if I spike it with one second left on the clock then I have time to run a play.
What am i not getting about that.
You do NOT have time to run another play if there is 1 second on the clock and you spike the ball. No partial seconds in football. Goes from 1 to 0. Any LSU fan should know this!

Um, plays are allowed to extend past 0:00 until the play is dead.
You only need 1 second on the clock to snap it.
Well, not any longer apparently.

Is this the "Les Miles kicker and punter" rule?
Yep no more "hidden Aussie"

I think this is the one that could cause some serious $hit this year.
People know about leading with the helmet, but this is one rule that hasn't really been mentioned and will cause many F bombs to fly from fans, coaches, etc., at the end of a close game with time running out.

I almost feel like they're targeting Les with that one because part B of that rule says that coaches will not be allowed to wear windbreakers in 113 degree weather.
As for the actual rule, I think it was stupid to allow two players to wear the same number in a game in the first place. There should be enough stupid numbers for everybody. Plus, it's confusing to those 10,000 or so 95-year-old Tiger fans looking through their bazooka-size binoculars.

Very, very, very few games have a spike within 3 seconds of the end of the game - and only in a minority of those cases will the spiking team go on to win.
Its a really silly rule though if you ask me. Is it to end the debate of whether or not the spike got off in time? Well why not argue about whether it was really 2 seconds or 3 when the ball was spiked?

targeting applies to the defensive side of the ball, as a player can be ejected for "launching" himself into another player's head or neck area.
Chief has to tell his D to target the legs or ankles to avoid auto ejection. Obviously, this rule is not good for an aggressive D like the Tigers D.

Ummm, obviously you just started watching LSU football in the past 2 years. You can snap a ball with 1 second and theoretically run around on the field for eternity. You can snap the ball with 1 second and spike it (which is exactly what happened), but then the clock is at 0 and game is over!
So no you couldn't snap and spike the ball with 1 second if you wanted to run another play and try to win the game. You could do it if you wanted to show the whole world you were an imbecile. Now you can't, which is a good thing...However, it should be 2 seconds, not 3 seconds.

So, if the 3-second rule is enforced, the time keeper MUST inform the coach that the stadium clock (which reads 00:00:03) is not the official time left in the half, but the timekeeper's watch is, and in reality reads 00:00:02:99 or less, are the refs going to be instructed to tell the coaches that they don't have time time to spike it and run another play? If this is the case, and the refs don't inform the coach, will an official clock replay camera have to be added or used? If so, adding this to the game could extend the half even more than just allowing the spiking.
Also, doesn't LSU (and other teams for that matter) dress out more than a hundred players? If so, numbers will go higher than 99 (starting at 0 to 9, then 10 to 99). Or will a third digit be added (as in 100, 101, etc., or perhaps using a decimal point (as in 98.6, 99.5, etc.)? Or perhaps the last three of the SS#. (Of course, I'm not being serious here).

OK, now I'm really confused. I'm watching the Ole Piss vs Vandy game and Ole Miss has a defensive player wearing #12 and a different guy on offense that also has #12. Didn't catch the start of the game, did they get some kind of penalty for this?
Posted on 8/29/13 at 8:54 pm to FlyingTiger06
It's pretty common for guys on offense and defense to wear the same number.
I think the rule is for people playing on the same side if the ball or at the same position. This is because it can be used in a deceptive manner.

There was always a rule against that. That's why Bama had Maze on offense with the #4 and Barron on defense with #4.
