Who said anything about Petrino's opinion? The question I answered was in regards to how would we as Arkansas fans feel about this rule if Petrino was still our coach.
gotcha... i guess my point is if petrino came out against this rule, then arkansas fans would all kinds of pissed about it.
where you stand on this debate shouldn't be what team you pull for, b/c lord knows how many times a program changes offensive philosphies over the course of a 5 to 10 year span.
it should scare ANYONE who is a fan of college football that people are attempting to fundamentally change how the game is played in the name of player safety with absolutely ZERO evidence to back it up.... it's an extremely slippery slope that should worry all fans.

That's a little over the top don't you think? What percentage of snaps would have been affected had this change been in place last year?
I don't like the rule that much, but it's not going to impact the pace of play, even for HUNH teams. Basically, it may result in more defensive substitutions (and frankly how much more it would allow is debatable, 10 second from end of last play isn't really a lot of time - thus the fact that even HUNH don't run the next play in that short a time period). Hardly a fundamental change in how the game is played. Moving the kickoff up 5 yards a couple of years ago likely had more actual impact to the game than this rule would ever have. Heard a lot less opposition to it though.
