Defenses can still substitute with the HUNH. AU did it against A&M.

They don't. The defense can sub whenever they want. Where do you people keep coming up with this idea?

To me, that's the only debate. I don't think it's "whining" to argue that no, the offense and the defense should have the same opportunity to huddle and scheme if they desire to. I think that the opposite argument is also valid - that, yes, the offense has always dictated the pace of the game and that shouldn't be limited at all.
Personally, I fall more into the second category. It's too weird to say that the offense can only control the pace of the game for 2 minutes a half. I'm opposed to complication.

So, your only debate is about something that doesn't exist?

But that's not really true, right? I mean, take Auburn's (frankly genius) strategy of running the exact same play over and over as quickly as they can until it gets stopped. The defense can't substitute that quickly.

Those were Gus's recruits. And according to Auburn posters on this site, he has a CB playing QB right now.
Kiehl Frazier was also his hand-picked quarterback.
Why is he having so much trouble getting a legitimate QB recruit?
Look at what I posted about the OL that year. That is why Russell Wilson did not want to come to AU his last year.

Your assertion is incorrect. I'm not particularly surprised by that.

No I believe my honesty is far more accurate, but thanks for trying.

You mean a strategy that has been around almost as long as football?

Then how did Auburn do it? It is called planning ahead. Damn HUNHD

I don't mind the HUNH offense at all. I hope Saban and all other non-HUNH coaches teach their players to fake injuries.

Okay. Then link me to where it says the defense can only sub when the offense does.

You're welcome. Thanks for your utter lack of effort/ability!

So, you want your coaches to violate the ethics of the NCAA?

ETA: That is what AU did against HUNH teams and it worked fairly well as far as changing personnel.

So HUNH is against the "spirit of the game" but oversigning and exploiting recruiting loopholes is A-OK!
Spare me the Bama football moral superiority false concern....

Are you this dim? Do you not understand that the defense is unable to substitute (not by rule, but by practicality) when plays are run that quickly?

The hits keep on coming, but fall on deaf ears or blind eyes in this case.

Are you replying to me? I haven't said anything of the sort.

This isn't difficult. Other teams do it. You say it can't be done, yet Auburn does it. So, your assertion is proven wrong.
I then ask you to provide a ruling for it. You can't. Therefore your entire argument is refuted.
You can keep spinning your wheels all you want, but it is becoming tired.
