They are talking about 10 seconds from the time the ball becomes dead from the previous play. How quickly do you think a team would be able to get off a play in that situation without the rule change?

This is Saban. Pure and simple...nothing more.
Someone had to bring it to the floor..who here really thinks the NCAA gives a frick about this?
Saban spent his whole offseason gutting his coaching staff, buying recruits and changing the rules it seems. 7.5 mil is tough to live up to.

Saban can't stop it so he has to try to get the rules changed. Punk arse. If everything is not perfectly in his favor he throws a hissy fit.

Yes. Saban deals in absolutes. Sure..10 seconds you could still have a hurry up, no problem. But, he now knows he HAS 10 seconds.

Still has to pass, which probably will happen with enough arm twisting and payoffs.
Kiffen is on that staff now. Jesus.

This is a non-rules change year for the NCAA, but exceptions can be made for rules that affect player safety.

What's really stupid is if this rule is being advocated for player safety, then the NCAA is pretty much saying that player safety is super important... until there are two minutes left in the game and you want to win, then frick 'em.

That is a really great point. I would love to hear that point brought up during the NCAA Rules Commitee press conference and hear their response. Great point Ross.

IMHO, the rules change is unnecessary & is only being considered due to high profile coaching opposition. I've seen nothing to indicate the HUNH presents undue risks to players and tend to believe the truth is more likely the real problem is that it presents defensive challenges that requires additional preparation time coaches would prefer to use otherwise. And, lets face it, defending the HUNH requires a more detailed & disciplined approach & some teams simply do not recruit players capable of adapting to do so effectively.

Very very few plays by any team gets off in less than 10 seconds..... Non-issue IMO
Posted on 2/13/14 at 10:47 pm to glenoaks
Well, what else can Saban do, he obviously can't defend this type of offense, so press to get the rules changed. This is an absolute joke. I really am stunned that AL and AR could get this done.

It's not about the play itself per se, it's about neutralizing a tactic that limits player substitutions. By coming to the line, the HUNH is eliminating the ability to rotate players. Few teams are running plays in the 10 seconds discussed. Auburn for instance hurries to the line and then slows day before the snap.
Saban and Bielema do have a point in that there's a philosophical issue about what we want the game to look like. Do we want to eliminate situational substitution? Do we want to discourage complex defensive schemes and the traditional pacing of the game?
HUNH is kind of exploiting a loophole in the rulebook as it relates to substitution and tradition of the game. The idea of increasing injuries from more plays per game and breakdown in techniques from sloppier play is a valid contention when you talk to sports medicine experts as they've both been implicated in increased injury potential (albit not in the context of discussing HUNH style of play)

I"m not saying hurry up has no place in football, but for it to become a team's entire lifeblood and scheme? That's bush league and always has been.
I agree and I don't know why everyone is flipping out about this. LSU does NOT use as it's primary offense strategy a hurry up/no huddle offense.
Look at the numbers:
LSU's plays per game avg is 67.7 which puts them at #105 in the country.
Alabama's is 65.9 which puts them at #116 in the country.
By the way Texas Tech was #1 at 90 plays.

So calm down, it is NOT going to change what LSU does offensively. I guess you guys have forgot about Time Management Miles, not his strong suit, remember!

It's for player safety but only for 56 minutes
The other 4, it's not about player safety.

You really can't see the diff. between playing the entire game, without being able to Sub def. players during drives and not being able to Sub for 2 minutes?
IT is about being able to SUB, about teams USING their DEPTH and guess what? Teams that have depth on D, it will help. And if you like the D Coordinator, think your D Cord. does a good job, then you like the rule change, it let's a D.Cord. coach.
THIS is NOT going to hurt LSU.
IT WILL hurt teams who use it constantly as a strategy like Texas Tech and OREGON.
I am all for it. How MANY times have you EVER seen LSU call a play, line up, do a def. check and snap the ball under 10 seconds, really?
This HELPS LSU, don't freak about it just cause you think Saban has the power to force this rule change.

I NEVER knew there were SOOO Many DUCK fans here, the Oregon kind that is, they are probably quacking mad since THIS directly AFFECTS THEM.
Or are you guys really Red Raider fans, I'm sure they are pissed, they averaged 90 PLAYS a game.
Oh, I know, you guys are really Ole Miss fans, they averaged the most plays run in the SEC at 79.8, or maybe Missouri 75.5 or...

Auburn did it with big LSU tattoo on their backside. Their "Year to Remember" was momentarily interrupted by a Tiger Paw down their backside.
