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.

I don't believe it was that many for SEC teams. I know Brandon Marcello said that Auburn would have only been flagged twice in the NC game.

this affected, what... 10 to 14 plays a game depending on who times a team scored?
the 10 second rule has the potential to affect every play from scrimmage... whether a team actually snapped a ball or not, the threat of doing so limited a defenses ability to sub... that will be gone now.
