NCAA Proposes Rule Changes to Slow Offenses. . .

Thoughts?
http://blogs.seattletimes.com/huskyfootball/2014/02/12/ncaa-proposes-rule-changes-to-slow-down-offenses/
"Under a new rule proposed by the NCAA, offenses that snap the ball too quickly would be penalized.
In what it says is an attempt to improve the safety of players in this era of Mach speed offenses, the NCAA Football Rules Committee has recommended a rules change that will allow defensive substitutions within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock.
The offense that snaps the ball before the play clock hits 29 seconds would be assessed a 5-yard, delay-of-game penalty."

Thank Saban.

I am assuming if 10 seconds was left on the game clock then that would be an exception?

I believe the word you are looking for is oversight. That would be an oversight.CuntWaffle said:I am assuming if 10 seconds was left on the game clock then that would be an exception?

The last two minutes of each half are an exception because Saban needs hurry up then and player safety only matters for 56 minutes per game.CuntWaffle said:I am assuming if 10 seconds was left on the game clock then that would be an exception?
There's not a single BCS conference representative on the football rules committee.
Fucking dreckfest. -
like there haven't been 653 rule changes to help offenses over the past 30 years..
-
I believe the team with the ball (formerly known as on offense) will be penalized regardless of what happens when there are 9 seconds or less remaining in a half/game... since a game cannot end on a penalty I believe the first week's games will thus not end until ever. Should be a great season. NCAA gets it.

Why in only the last 2 minutes it stops? Say Goodbye to late comebacks. Also, it fucking kills first down plays. Oregon never snaps the ball within 10 seconds of a play. But if they go by play clock, on first downs, the offense will have to wait for the ball to be set, then wait an additional 10 seconds to snap it. If that rule passes, the NFL will once again win a diehard back, because I will be through with college football.

Saban needs to be more worried about his ST than this bullshit.

I'm sure the NCAA is prepared to release it's hard evidence that fast paced play results in more injuries. Outside of government if there is an organization anywhere with less credibility than the NCAA I'd like to know what it is.

I don't think hurry up offenses cause injury. But I think this rule should be done. I think snapping the ball in such a whirl wind and getting 10+ yards because the other team couldn't get their alignments done correctly is bad football to watch and a direction I don't think is good for the game. Give the defense a chance to call out a strong side and align properly and use their hips.

This. College football has become a dreckfest because of the offenses. Defenses are worried about lining up. Defense has become non existent except for the elite teams.79smoothdawg said:I don't think hurry up offenses cause injury. But I think this rule should be done.

Right now, "big time" college offenses are about catching the defense unprepared. Sark was smart enough to understand that all you need to do to earn the title 'offensive genius' was to snap the ball while the other team was still trying to figure out how many receivers are lined up.

If this did get passed, it wouldn't even be very noticeable. As it said in the article, teams rarely snap the ball with 30 seconds left on the play clock. Most no huddle teams average 20-25 seconds between plays. Oregon averaged 23 seconds between plays in 2010, and had one play that was ran before the 10 second limit when someone charted all their plays in a game vs UCLA.

It's not the 10 seconds that's the major change. It's the fact that defenses are allowed substitutions.
There's a reason that DickRod and other Pac12 coaches are whining. They know that they're exploiting defenses by not allowing them to put in pass rushers on 3rd down. They don't care one bit about whether the ball is snapped at 29 seconds or 32 seconds.
-
Teams don't have to snap it within 10 seconds to stop the defense from substitution. If the defense starts to sub, they snap it right away with no play called to get the penalty. Manning did this with the Colts a lot.
So the proposed rule lets the defense know they have ten seconds to sub. The offense can't get right to the line and fake them out of a substitution -
There sure are a lot of closeted Doogs in this thread.

Got me on that one - well done...tracker said:

This rule might stop Oregon fans from booing injured players as loudly as they've been doing. :-$

Nick Saban must be an honorary doog. Talk about a sore loser. Dude can't handle the hurry up so he tries to kill it.TierbsHsotBoobs said:There sure are a lot of closeted Doogs in this thread.
I bet he succeeds, too.
Nick Saban is a bad mofo.

I never boo the players

You can call this the "we want to fuck over Oregon" rule. Or the "we're a bunch of whiny fucking cunts because we can't beat Auburn when we're entitled to do so just by showing up" rule.

Cerebral analysis! -
The game has gone a little too far in the direction of giving advantages to the offense IMO.
A defense should have every opportunity to make situational substitutions as the offense does.
I don't see why taking out the "we're running to the line to prevent substitutions, if you sub we're going to snap it with no play to get a free 5 yards, and if you don't, we're going to stand around for 25 seconds before snapping it" is good for football.
The proposed rule has some dreckfest in it ... but it's not necessarily in the wrong direction.
I'm all for rules that take away the ability for those that like to exploit loopholes to be able to exploit young men.
The game of football should boil down to your ability to have better skills and execution than the other team. Not the ability to quick snap people to death. -

If the offense substitutes, the defense is allowed to substitute also.
Being in shape is a key skill of football.
