The 10 second rule is good for Au.

It will not affect our offense at all bec we rarely snap the ball before the :29 mark anyways.

On defense, it will allow our defensive subs to get in position faster and more efficiently.

AU's defense has been our weak spot and this rule will assist without hurting our offense.

Our defensive problems weren't because substitution difficulties

I don't follow. You're going to have to explain to me how this is good for us.

Beyond not having the option to snap the ball quickly (what's the point of a play clock anyway if you can't play), it takes away one of Gus' favorite tools which is to repeat a successful play before the opposing defense can adjust.

Further than that, it will basically be a big middle finger to Auburn (among others) and a big thumbs up to Saban.

We've never had a problem subbing on defense before, one notable Swain flop notwithstanding.

No it's not.

You guys don't get it. It's the threat that we can run the ball down their throat without allowing them to substitute. They don't substitute, the D is worn down by the 4th Q, and we strike with vengeance. This rule essentially kills that entire notion by keeping defensive players fresh.

It's not that we don't snap the ball before the :30 mark, it's the threat that we can if we want to without allowing them to substitute players on and off the field.

Our defense was weak because we played poorly skill wise.. not because our guys were tired.
