In the interest of player safety it is important that a new rule be added to limit the number of plays an offense can run.

Fact: Football is dangerous. More football is more dangerous. Less football is less dangerous.

Therefore, I propose that each team should be allowed to run a maximum of 4 offensive plays per quarter. Once a team has reached their offensive play limit, they must punt. Once both teams have reached their offensive play limit, the quarter is over and the next quarter begins.

And very few opposing defensive players were injured. This is the data 2Bs needs.

We don't want to be your rival.

Go back to the regular Ms. State pre-season flame fest.

Arkansas needs to quit thinking everything is about them. Nobody cares about Arkansas. Win something and maybe we will. This is about player safety.

I'm quite sure that the #1 goal for football is to prevent injuries, make sure nobody is tired or sweating, and figure out new ways to keep the strongest, fastest people in our society from getting hurt. We've got to limit the number of plays -- or else someone might need a Gatorade.

Could be they are worried about hurting the pussy teams running trick play offenses.
