I hate the proposed rule change, but in all seriousness,how


Feb 14, 2014, 1:29 PM

often do most HUNH teams snap it with more than 25 seconds anyway. I think it will affect Oregon, Auburn and Arizona more than anybody because they will run the same play back-to-back to get that tempo. In all reality if you can snap it with 20 seconds left you are still considered HUNH. It takes at least 11 seconds to spot the ball get the hogs back in position, run a guy in motion, etc.

Re: I hate the proposed rule change, but in all seriousness,how


Feb 14, 2014, 1:32 PM

It won't affect the pace of the game but it will allow the defense to sub. That takes away the advantage of miss-matches and wearing them down for the 4th.

Feb 14, 2014, 1:35 PM

the issue isn't about how quickly the offense snaps the ball. The issue is about the offense controlling whether or not the defense substitutes.

The tempo argument is hogwash.

play if they want to. That's really what gets in the way of your argument. Yes, they would need to do it quickly, but the defense can always sub. And if there is a true mismatch on the field and the defense is unable to sub quickly enough...to my knowledge each team has 3 timeouts in a half that they can use.

There is no legitimate excuse for this rule.

I'm not saying you have to agree with the rules proposal. It isn't irrational to believe the rules should stay how they are at the moment.

However, you're being irrational when you argue that the defense can substitute. That is why the HUNH is an effective tactic. It limits the ability of the defense to substitute.

Why would the defense need to change personnel if the offense isn't changing personnel? Are coaches going to rotate in a different nickel CB or Field-side backer to carry out the same assignment on every play? Aren't your best players supposed to be on the field?

Sounds to me like it's a way to get the fatties a breather and removes the concept of "possession" in every way except that the offense may score.

Exactly. I'm just pointing out that a big part of "possession" is that the offense has the opportunity to control the tempo of the game.

I just find it laughable that anyone could support telling the team who has the ball to "slow down" if they're already operating within the rule-alloted time constraints.

Feb 14, 2014, 10:33 PM

These rules were changed over recent years to speed the game for television.

I don't like the new rule change of continuous clock until 2:00 left but the rule was changed without my input.

Some of you are arguing against this new rule of waiting 10 seconds because it will hurt Clemson. There is nothing secret about what Chad does.....lots of teams run HUNH but more choose not to. What if every college team ran HUNH.....it could happen. I would hate to see it personally.

I tend to agree with what some coaches have said about the offense and what it does to the game....it diminishes all the strategy. Some in this thread have already said it, that Auburn and others will run the same play over and over while the defense struggles to get set and stop it. I don't want every college football game to become a basketball game.

Football is the #1 spectator sport because of many things and one is the pause, struggle and anticipation of the game. I don't want all football games to have 50 points scored.

If HUNH were found to be so successful that all teams end up running it the I think we will lose part of what makes viewing football so enjoyable.

The problem is that there is a large portion of the College football landscape (including coaches) that are strongly opposed to this rule. And it appears that a couple of prominent coaches that were disadvantaged by this offense want to remove the advantages and did so without the rest of the coaches union. And that just doesn't sit right with me. If we ran GT's offense I'd be opposed to this. And a large portion of CFB fans agree with Clemson on this one.

Feb 14, 2014, 10:52 PM [ in reply to The play clock was shortened and game clock now runs continuously ]

One of the things that makes football great is the fact you have an offense and defense going head the entire game with coaches calling plays against each other before every snap.

A lot of people have argued, "the defense just needs to find a way to stop it." The problem with that is the HUNH prevents the defense from running the plays it wants to run.

Unfortunately, I think the average spectator would rather see 50 points a game than see a defense play well

So if a HUNH offense runs a play, picks up some yardage...


Feb 14, 2014, 11:02 PM

they only need a few yards to pick up the 1st down. Currently, the RB they have in play is a smaller back, about 180lbs, with no FB. Ideally, the offense would love to have one of their bigger bruisers on the line to potentially pick up the tough yardage for the 1st down. BUT, since the O decides to run the HUNH offense, they choose not to sub and REMAIN WITH THE SAME PLAYERS (that small back that is NOT IDEAL FOR THE O). That in bold is important for you to sink into your skull. Running a HUNH also has some inherent disadvantages by not subbing on O. What make the D special that they should be afforded every single opportunity to sub?

If the D opted to put its best players on the field to defend who is currently playing O, then why would there constantly be a desperate need to change them out? The simple answer to all this, is those coaches that oppose the HUNH offense, simply-want-to-slow-the-game-down. Injuries, working about people gasping for air, subbing players...that's all a big load of horse ####.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If an offense chooses to play at a disadvantage


Feb 14, 2014, 11:43 PM

As you argue in your hypothetical, why does that mean a defense must play at a disadvantage. I'm not arguing a defense deserves special treatment. I'm arguing the defense should have an equal opportunity to sub.

Secondly, how is 10 seconds to substitute slowing down the game? How many plays are snapped within 10 seconds?

If you can show me any data that shoes significant snaps within 10 seconds I will be glad to acknowledge this will slow dork offenses.

However, if not many plays are bring run in less than 10 seconds then this rule isn't slowing down the game.

Is it an advantage for the offense to go hurry up? YES...But


Feb 14, 2014, 3:03 PM [ in reply to You don't think there is a difference in strategy ]

The defense also has advantages. The offense must get set prior to snapping the ball giving the defense the ability to read the formation and get lined up correctly. The defense on the other hand can shift, stand up, move LB's toward the line and back in order confuse the blockers and QB about where the pressure is coming or not coming from. This is a clear advantage for the defense. The hurry up helps eliminate some of this which is why Nick Saban himself said on national tv during the NC game that he would go to a quick snap in order to stop the defense from moving so much and causing confusion. If FSU had done that early in the game it would not have been very close in the second half. Nick Saban just wants to make it easier for himself. In the end the hurry up offense is only a tool in the box, the personnel and coaching are far more important than the system you run.

The answer to your question is simple: as many times as our offense could manage it!

I just don't want to see the rules changed because Saban recruited a bunch of big guys without the required stamina to play within the current set of rules and is butthurt about it.

I can't stand the rule being brought up by a few coaches who seem to think it's going to mess with their particular scheme of play. While Saban is correct is saying that more snaps = more likely hood of injuries, until there is proven evidence, I don't think that the current play should warrant a rule change. I know SOS often calls a QB sneak on 4-1 or 4-2 by sprinting to the LOS quick as possible to catch the D off guard and get the easy yards.

I will say this though; it keeps teams like Bama who can, because of talent and depth, line up and just beat you, from lining up and just beating you. It will exhaust a Defense 80 plays into a game and cause them to make mistakes, causing the big play and what not. You have to be on your toes as a DC as well, you make the wrong personnel decision and march the wrong D out onto the field, the offense will RAISE the temp and keep you from subbing and put the car in cruise control all the way down the field.

Just like in politics, when the general consensus is that,

"Well, it doesn't really affect me, so I don't really care...", it is a bad deal. A select few whine until they get their way! And like I said yesterday, if Saban is abll about safety of the players, somebody should check and see how many opposing Bama players have received concussions in games against them.Maybe we need to restrict the size of linebackers, Dlinemen,etc.
