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

If a player is fatigued or could get fatigued, don't put him in, put in a fresh guy. simple solution and no rule change is needed. But that will never happen because player safety is not the concern, its really about being able to sub in certain packages of players every down

^^This is what it's ALL about and we ALL know it.

I trust Saban to adjust to this - he will cross-train more of his defensive players - he will have Cochran pump up the volume on conditioning - he will work and over work his defensive players and expose them to way more than they've had to absorb in the past. We will see a more versatile defensive player on Bama's defense. Because we will have 3-4 SEC teams playing the HUNH/fast-paced offense now.

What will be really interesting to see is how will the HUNH - fast paced teams train and conition their own defense, and will they have the stamina to maintain the intensity if and when their own offense has multiple 3 & outs?
