This is a good question LSUBCILUVTHEM, and I researched it a while back. It has its roots in safety for the players. When the flying wedge was made illegal for safety reasons, some other rules evolved from that. One being offensive linemen cannot go downfield on a pass play in order to prevent them from forming a moving wall that receivers can get behind. Two other rules for safety reasons is offensive players can't be moving toward the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped and only one offensive player can be in motion at a time. All three of these were created to minimize the amount of momentum an offensive player can generate, and thereby reduce injuries. Don’t ask me why defenders can be moving toward the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped, but offensive players can’t. That doesn’t make sense to me. Hope this helps.

I read the Rant every day, but hardly post so up/down arrows do not mean much to me. I also served in the military 22 years so I worry about more important $hit.

In 2013 Saban bitches to the officials to put one second back on the clock so Bama can attempt a field goal at the end of the Iron Bowl. Outcome is the infamous Kick Six, because his staff $hit the bed and didn't consider the kick might be returned. Piss poor planning on Saban's part.

Now in 2019 he bitches because officials put one second back on the clock so Auburn can attempt a field goal at the end of the half. His complaint is you can't get the kick off in one second if there is a live clock.

How in the hell can Bama attempt that kick in 2013, but Auburn can't in 2019? One second is one second, I don't give a $hit what year it is.

Also, just because your staff is too stupid to sniff out a potential trick play (Auburn runs punter out, but uses him as wide receiver) is no reason to say, "the play is unfair". It was a damn good deception plan and Saban fell for it.

Nick needs to quit $hitting his pants and whining, and take his arse whippings like a man.
