Why is this particular rule important to you Auburn fans in this thread?
There have been 3 "proposed" rule changes on current rules that Auburn has benefited from in the recent past. For some reason, rules keep getting proposed to take away any type of advantage Auburn has on offense. Opposing fanbases want them to pass because their coaching staffs can't strategize or scheme around stopping a Gus Malzahn offense.

As for why this rule is important to Auburn fans in this thread, it's because opposing fanbases, for some reason, think Auburn's offense would crash and burn with said rule change.

How is the NFL "more selective" about calling it? Can you give some examples? As previously noted, the rule was 1 yard in college, as well, up until a few years ago. It didn't kill the game, same as 1 yard doesn't kill the NFL. Best I understand it, the officials want it changed because it's easier to ascertain if the linemen is more than 1 yard. Maybe that's why it was 1 yard so long up until recently, and maybe why it's still 1 yard in the NFL.

See. That's what I don't get. You imply that 3 yards somehow is an advantage for Auburn's offense. How is that so?

Apparently John, shockingly, does not answer. Maybe Alter is just an arse?

John, why is this thread and what Auburn fans think so important to you this evening? Why are you needing examples of what the NFL is doing? What is it that makes you ask so many questions? Whose alter are you? Do you even football? If yes then why do you need to ask some of the questions you are?

Again, ask the SECRant, whose posters (that are not Auburn fans) are convinced this would change Auburn's success (mainly Alabama and Arkansas fans).

As for the rule itself and my opinion, I don't care that it didn't pass. Nobody has figured out Auburn's offense and nobody will. It's too flexible. And I think it's hilarious seeing others hope and pray that a rule change will someone alter the success of Gus Malzahn's offense instead of finding an actual way to stop it. This thread is full of laughter from Auburn fans and tears of others.

The question was why you need the rule to be changed but, of course, you already know that.

No. That was you that said it was an Auburn advantage...........

There have been 3 "proposed" rule changes on current rules that Auburn has benefited from in the recent past. For some reason, rules keep getting proposed to take away any type of advantage Auburn has on offense. Opposing fanbases want them to pass because their coaching staffs can't strategize or scheme around stopping a Gus Malzahn offense.

And I said I don't need it changed, and that I don't play or coach. I guess you missed that.

This post, from me, didn't specify what advantage I was referring to.

BTW, it was in reference to the HUNH strategy associated with the Auburn offense.

This rule change in this thread is perceived as an advantage mainly by other posters that want an easy way to slow down Auburn's offense, even though it wouldn't.

I'll answer your question if somebody, anybody, will answer my very simple question rather than spinning and joking around.


I'll answer your question with a question.

Teams have been complaining about Bama using illegal picks in pass patterns for years.

Why shouldn't this be an issue at the NCAA Rules Committee?

Shouldn't this be prioritized since you guys use the illegal pick so well without the refs ever calling it?

What's to stop? Isn't 8-5 bad enough? Challenging the other eight to step up? Let me know how this all settles.

Are you saying Auburn finished 8-5 because of their offense?

Well Sherlock, you do have to outscore the opponent. Are you in fact bragging about being average and the rule not changing will help sustain that level of success?

I'm sure that's not what he's meaning to say, but it's exactly what he is saying. Outside of the UGA game, that isn't remotely the case.

Again, what's more to blame about Auburn's 2014 record? Offense or defense? Your answer will clarify whether or not you are trolling and baiting for attention.
