I can only remember a few times that we actually got the ball snapped before 10 seconds.

It was a good amount more than a few times. We'd run 4-5 of the same play in a row and snap it within 10 seconds on some drives. It's the threat that we can snap the ball quickly that helps Malzahn's offense perform at a high efficiency w/o allowing the defense to substitute.

Herb Hand made the best argument for this rule to be turned down. He said what if a team has the ball down 14 with 5:30 left to go in the game.. why should the offense have to wait 10 seconds to snap it if they don't have 10 seconds to spare and its not under the 2 minute mark yet.
