There is a style of football that has evolved that can beat his style given the right talent level and coaching...Saban can no longer recruit the best 400 pound linemen that can out-muscle the other side of the ball because this big guys can't run 15 yards without sucking wind. HUNH teams are developing athlehes that are strong and can actually run 100 plays without dropping dead. If I was a Alabama fan I would be crying to change the rules as well...Until Saban retires and the next HC wants to move to a HUNH style and everything will be fine.
You Clemson fans are insufferable little pricks aren't you?
Saban runs the HUNH RPO bullshite you f*cking moron. He also beat your team 2 years ago without it.
Idk if Bryant will take your sorry-arse squad to the playoffs this year, but Alabama will wreck your shite this year if we play. Get F*cked

I don't agree with this at all. Sure Alabama and Oklahoma both run forms of the spread, but they are entirely different.

I hate how it has become NFL-lite with $8 million dollar coaches salaries and the increased separation between the players on the team and the university as an institution of learning and as a community, to the point where it is nearly a team in the town that wears the schools logo but is otherwise unassociated with the university. Also, the sensationalized coverage of the sport wears on me
Ditto
This might be fixed with higher academic requirements

The game is dominated by a handful of teams, leaving the season ultimately stagnant and anticlimactic for 95% of fans, and you are worried about offensive tempo?

I'm going to qualify my answer: I dislike the new uptempo spread crap. I'm a traditionalist. But...the only difference between now and the 70s is a new type of offense everyone is using. CFB has always been dominated by trends, and the variety isn't really less now so much as it is distasteful to those of us who prefer more traditional football, and we have to acknowledge it took years for "traditional" schemes to actually become tradition. The current state of things isn't really all that different, for instance, from when coaches (including the Bear) started taking up the wishbone in droves.

Texas leads in the country in its number of 7 on 7 camps & tournaments. Texas is close to leading the country in number of QB's starting at major college programs. And all those 7 on 7's run some form of the spread.

1) cfb has always been this way
2) I'm one of the 5%

If every college team had a solid O line, we'd still be playing 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust football. Only a handful of college teams have a line that can support the pro set and, except for the occasional elite dynasty, the talent level varies widely from year to year. How many coaches have been fired because they tried to repeat their success after their mature, gelled line was drafted and replaced by greenhorns? Wasn't the spread offense developed to compensate for that deficiency?
Vaught campaigned to get rid of tackle eligible because he could not find a way to stop it. Credit Saban for learning from the best.

Unless they're down by less than a score with 1 second left it seems.

If this happens, we go for Renfrow's kneecaps at the snap

I came away from the games yesterday thinking all if the offenses looked the same.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.

Then why has Saban been crying to change the rules? It didn't seem to be a problem until Johnny Manzel beat him, Urban Myer's HUNH beat him and a few other programs including little old Clemson.
Saban doesn't lose a lot, but when he does it appears to be teams that have a quality HUNU offense...
Most teams lose to Saban because he is a helluva a coach at the style he coaches and a lot of teams he competes against try to mimic that style and these teams fail most of the time. You aren't going to out-muscle a Nick Saban team...but given the right circumstances and a little good fortune you can occasionally wear them out and catch them.

It may just be I am stubborn as frick and hate that Saban bailed on the old school way of playing offense.
I hate that he's bailed on the old school factor of needing to have a kid that can kick a fricking field goal.

He had top notch kickers all but wrapped up two years straight just to lose them at the last minute. Sucks and I am sure he learned his lesson.

I don't mind the style of play. I am pissed that we have criminals playing at pretty much every school.

Well most every team runs some form of HUNH, so naturally when we lose it's against a team with that offense. Your points were valid in 2013. 2014 was a transition year. Now the Alabama defense is designed to play against up tempo spread attacks.
The past two years the losses have been because of turnovers (Ole Miss) and a lack of offense (Clemson)
Clemson had an incredible offense last year and only got about 5 yards per play against Alabama in the NC.

No, I do not.
College football was much more fun when VOLS were a reputable program.
