re: FYI: There were more injuries among the top 20 "slow-paced" teams last season...

Not really. That was the fan version of the anti HUNH argument. Saban's argument is that more injuries will result to defensive players if they get over-exhausted/over-exerted and he is unable to sub a tired player out due to the hurry up. Tired players use poor tackling form and have more ligament/tendon/muscle injuries due to the weakened state of the body. The lack of substitutions seemed to be his issue, not too many plays. I think Saban's argument has some validity, but I also don't think there needs to be a rule change.

So it's the HUNH's fault Saban's defensive players can't play at the sustained level they can?
