Malzahn: Rule change will stunt scoring

an offensive linemen doesn't need to be 3 yards down field on a pass play.

It's a good change.

There's already too many inelegable receiver down field calls as it is changing the yardage from 3 to 1 will just make it that much worse

I think its the point. To sort of turn football back into football, and not a track meet.

Kind of like how the post-steroid era of baseball has kicked so much arse

Just what we need, more oversight, more rules, more flags.

I know if they change this rule, I will sell my season tickets.

If it changes from 3 to 1 yard, then the OL will now go down the field 3 yards as the original rule was intended. There were too many plays where OL were 5 yards down the field and flags weren't being thrown. There is too much going on in a play for the refs to see exactly how far down the field an OL is unless they are going to put more on the field or look from a booth.

Yup, Auburn and other option teams abused the rule way too much

just enforce the current rule.

There's too much shite going on sometimes for the refs to catch it. This will make it more obvious, and therefore easier to enforce

His comments are nothing more than the usual coach's whine when they take away his favorite toy.
