Revise the ineligible receiver downfield rule. Make it so that linemen are only allowed to be no more than one yard past the line of scrimmage like they do in the NFL and strictly enforce that rule. That would do a lot to neutralize RPOs and the massive advantages offenses have over defenses in today's college game.


I've been saying this for 5 years now and it can't be done fast enough.

The continuous running clock mandated in 2008 allowed offenses to go to their HUNH principles. At that point defenses couldn't get off the field, nor mix and match according to down and distance. The RPOs are a simple concept that demands speed to be effective.

Just couldn't happen without the continuous running 40-second clock.

As far as the rest of this thread, please. We are halfway through a 10 game SEC schedule that has let us cannibalize each other. The only thing in "decline" is about 80% of the SEC team's chances of getting to Atlanta.
