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.
AU rarely snapped the ball before :29 anyways. We just finished a season where teams knew what we were going to do and they could not stop us. Gus will be able to run what he wants.

you guys don't get it. It's the threat that we can run the ball down their throat without
This is the point.
Most of the time we did not snap the ball before 29 seconds but the threat was there and the D could not substitute.
Also, offenses could not change personal to counter what we were doing that drive until something stopped the drive.
If anyone knows how many people are on the committee who will vote on this in March please post it. If the voting body is large and represents a lot of schools I do not think it will pass. But if the voting committee is small then it has a shot.

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.

This.
I understand having the threat of snapping the ball by being lined up before 10 seconds have elapsed, but if the offense is ready to go and snaps right at the 29 second mark, they will catch the defense subbing more often than not if they try it. One point of getting lined up and ready is to see how the defense lines up so they can call the play that will work best against it.

true... but the threat of it is always there and we use that to our advantage. Some of that is gone with a 10 second grace period.
