They just want the NCAA to neuter an offense that they struggle to stop.


Except the fact that it wouldn't really change anything. You do realize how little these teams actually snap the ball this fast.

Your fans keep saying that but your coach is begging and making himself look like a puss for a reason and its not player safety. Now go ahead and say that its just a huge coincidence that its the HUNH teams that give him trouble and that he goes all out for a rule right after he gets beat by 2 teams running it.

Not unless the offense makes a change and even when they do the officials frick that up more times than not.

All you frickers need to STFU about Saban's hair. Saban has the best hair in football next to Jimmie Johnson
Can we talk about the shoe lifts he wears to make himself appear taller?

Sure had a lot of things to say about something he has no opinion about. I would hate to see his comments about something he does care about

Then why lobby for a rule if it is unnecessary?

Great points buy saban. Letting the officials dictate the pace of the game is the best point of all.

Where did you get begging out of all that. They asked him for his opinion and he gave it. He isn't the one out campaigning for this rule change.

You beat us on a last second missed FG return. We had many chances to take advantage of that game and our offense let us down. Not our defense.

This is dead wrong. Defenses can sub WHENEVER THEY WANT, whether the offense subs or not. If the D tries to sub when an offense is in HUNH they just have to be quicker about it and stop jogging off the field.

So why do you need a rule? If it wont change when they snap then why doesnt bama just substitute in that time? You know they could have their subs standing on the sideline and ready to run in but I guess when you have a defense full of fat asses they cant get on the field...

Where has he said he is for the rule change?

He has given his opinion on HUNH offenses, but I haven't seen anywhere where he is the one trying to lead the charge on this thing.

You have at least eight seconds after the player is tackled to make substitutions. The Offense has to be set at least one before the snap. Auburn had a great sub pattern against HUNH Offense. Sabans problem is he can not put in the packages he wants and still make Defensive call from the sideline.
