To me, it is not fair to the defense that the offense is set and ready for a couple seconds while the defense is struggling to get in position ON PLAYS WHERE THE OFFENSE SUBSTITUTES. I have no issue with the no-huddle offense as long as there are no substitutions. Once the offense substitutes, there has to be some way to let the defense get as set and ready as the offense. From what I saw, this was a frequent problem and not just because the coaches "weren't prepared".
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. It was noted several times during the broadcast that the officials were allowing Bama to match the Aggies substitution for substitution throughout the game. They even mentioned that it was giving the Bama D an extra couple seconds of rest.

The rules dictate that if the offense subs, then the defense must be given time to sub. But the offense subs first (because the defense has to wait to see if they do). By the time the offense subs, and the defensive subs run onto the field, they are barely given enough time to get in position while the offense has been set several seconds.
Like I said, I don't know exactly how to solve the problem, but I bet it doesn't stay this way very long. Over the course of a game, the advantage to the offense is too great.
