offense?
Does this mean the hurry up offense will be even faster because there is a extra ref out there helping spot the ball?

How will this affect Alabama's budget going forward?

I hope so. Can't wait to hear more crying about how dangerous it is for player safety.

No. It means 8 refs have to be in agreement that Bama never holds

They actually did this experiment at the Auburn A-day game. Said it worked great.

Silly TAMU and Auburn causing over-regulation.

I was too busy cussing our two inept QBs to count the number of officials.

I would settle for one official that isn't a Bama homer.

I chuckled at the thought of AU going nowhere....but getting there in a hurry.

If they have to add refs because they cant keep up, then can we add another defender?

Steve Shaw-
I call bullshite. Are they really changing the rules so other teams can compete.
If the refs cant handle the speed of the game, then that should tell you something about if the players can handle it or not.
This is gonna be like adding a 3 pointer to basketball.
Looks like Bama will have to start shooting three's.

"It really worked pretty well. I don't think we're ready to go there just yet but we're testing it. Some of the coaches said, well, so this eighth official is a way we can go even faster. Really, my answer was, no, the eighth official is not to help you go faster. It's to help us be more consistent, do our job and allow the umpire and referee do their jobs more effectively."

Some teams handle it just fine.
