But it's such a simple question and nobody has answered it. Why is this a big deal? I mean really. What is the big difference in linemen 1 yard or 3 yards downfield. I think the NFL rule is 1 yard. Up until a few years ago college rules were also a yard. All I want to know is why it seems to be a major thing to a lot of Auburn fans. I mean, I don't see LSU, UF, or UGA fans making a big deal out of it.

They are some of the ones who were making a big deal about the rule being changed, and how it would render Gus helpless, just a day or two ago.

Most of the bitching about OL downfield are Bama fans, who think it is only a HUNH issue. The issue is about Officials dictating the game with the flags. It can be called on every pass play if it was changed in the college game. The pros have it, but they are very selective on when they call it. I do not think Gus and Co trust SEC Officials to be as unbiased as NFL Officials.
