Yes, common sense dictates that more plays and more fatigued players should lead to more injuries ... but common sense also dictates that the sun rotates around the Earth. Until Bielema and like-minded coaches can produce data proving (or at least concretely suggesting) that the hurry-up-no-huddle is a safety hazard, don't expect the rulebook to change.

I like BB and what's he's done for our program, but I wish he would just shut up about the HUNH stuff. It's part of the game, as long as the defense has a somewhat fair chance to sub, you really have no grounds for safety complaints.

Unfortunately, common sense isn't so common any more.

You are not going to get data showing that hunh causes more injuries because the system is already in place.
The data for proof would be generated by removing the hunh and see if the injuries go down substantially.

He was making progress I thought. This kind of shite is just sad and pathetic.

Why couldn't you just look at data pre-HUNH?

I actually don't agree with coach on slowing the game down. I'd just like to see them enforce the down field blocking rules and sub rules. Auburn doesn't snap the ball quickly, they line up quickly so you can't substitute. Its skirting the rules imo. Bring back the old play clock and call it a day
I think that's BB's argument - he wants to be able to sub with fresh players so his guys don't risk injury due to fatigue.

BUT, if the D subs for fresh players then these so called fast pace offenses won't be able to run up to the line real fast, then read the defense, prairie dog to the sideline, get the new que cards ready, call the designed play, and execute. The QB would actually have to be able to make his own reads and be able to manage the offense on his own.

BB has to either continue to resist the status quo or join the crowd (ala Saban/Kiffin's offense in '14)- Good coaches adapt or get left behind.

You could, but awareness and data from prior years was probably not at the level that it is today, so would probably not be a real good comparison I would think.
