re: The slowdown rule does NOT affect only a couple of plays per game

You blame that on the coach. From the time the play is blown dead, there's plenty of time to sub.

I not so sure. I would guess that a hurry up offense like Auburn's that runs a lot of rushing downs with just a few quick passes mixed in could get back to the LOS in less than 10 secs. Think 2 minute drill the entire game.

Let me put it this way. I can easily see the potential for hurry up offenses to become so dominant that literally every team will have to implement a similar system to avoid a competitive disadvantage. And if a 10 second rule is not put in place and the HUNHO's keep rolling, it's definitely going to force teams like Alabama and Georgia running pro-set offenses to re-evaluate their offenses.
