What would Arkansas fans have thought about this rule when Petrino was coach?
Arkansas didn't run the HUNH under Petrino. Also, Petrino didn't run the Meerkat offense with Mallet because Mallet could read defenses and audible the Hogs into the right play most of the time.
However, when Wilson was under center he couldn't read defenses nearly as well as Mallet so Petrino utilized the Meerkat offense which I despise. QBs should be able to audible without looking to the sidelines and teams using that technique either has a QB incapable of making the right audible or they don’t trust the QB to make the right call. Either way it’s a lazy way out for the coaches.

Maybe you can propose a rule that only the QB can call an audible at the line. If he looks at his coach that will be a 5yd penalty.

They have to be told from the sidelines what to do on every single time. Hell, my son plays safety and his position coach is screaming out plays to the defense so those little bastards know what the offense is about to throw at 'em.
