Spinoff from the Hurry Up Offense thread on the SECrant

Honestly I don't have a problem with the hurry offense as long as the defense is allowed time to substitute when the offense subs. However, why shouldn't the defense be able to hurry up as well? In other words, why shouldn't the defense be able to rush as soon as the offense is set regardless of the snap of the ball? 
I know it's crazy but it would eliminate annoying penalties that tend to frustrate the flow of the game.
1. There would be no off-sides penalties once the offense is set.
2. There would be no false-start penalties.
3. Illegal procedure penalties could be minimized by allowing the offense more flexibility in alignment.
The main problem I see is there would no longer be any time for QB's to read defenses or strategy related snap count but then the hurry up offense proponents started this game and the way I see it, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

This doesn't even deserve a response.

No one would ever score. It would make playing offensive line impossible. Pretty much every play would end in a sack or TFL. It would just be a huge clusterfrick

Possible NCAA rule proposed would keep the offense from being able to snap the ball without letting 10 seconds off the play clock to allow defensive substitutions, I hope there is an exception for a 2 minute offense.

Look it's the off-season. It takes some insanity to maintain sanity.

The proposed rule has that exception yes. I like it because I get sick of UGA getting torched by the hurry up.

Please clarify...do you mean defending it or attempting to run it?

OK, I have not read the details of the proposed rule change, just the thread debating the issue on the SECrant. Are you saying the clock would be stopped for 10 seconds for every down to allow subs during which time the ball obviously can't be snapped? If this is the case, why would you see the need for an exception for the 2 minute drill?

The rule would be that you couldn't snap the ball with more than 29 seconds on the play clock. The clock would not stop.

This isn't out of the universe, man, this is, like, out of this dimension. It's, like, arena football....but on defense.

With all due respect, these "hypothetical rules" are absolutely terrible and the sad part is that I would not be surprised if somehow they ended up passing.
NCAA incompetence on full display!
