The deal with the HUNH

Plain and simple it's not how the game was meant to be played. My guys against your guys, 4 downs to get 10 yards line up ready set go. HUNH is gimmicky and success because defenses aren't ready so it's more about are guys ready and in position vs can my guy beat your guy head up. He'll if that's what you want to see let's just have a game of kickoffs and see who returns the most in 60 minutes. It would be akin to a pitcher firing pitches as soon as the catcher throws the ball back regardless of if the batter is ready. It soils the integrity of the game.

Who designed the game? What did they say about how to play it?
What does this quote from John Heisman about his 1899 squad tell you?
quote:
The team of ’99—my last at Auburn—was a great one. It only weighed about 160 (pounds per player), but its speed and team work were something truly wonderful. I do not think I have ever seen so fast a team as that was. It would line up and get the ball in play at times before the opposing players were up off the ground. You see it was a ‘stunt’ of ours to catch them off side and get the benefit of the penalty. Nowadays no team is taken by surprise by such lightning lining up; but that Auburn team of ’99 was the first to show what could be done with speedy play, and then it wasn’t long before all other teams were laboring with might and main to inject speed into their work.

Put your back into hook set. Quick snap over long pull.

It's great for the "integrity" and "game wasn't meant to be played" crowd. The HUNH goes back 3 centuries.

Then no more disguising blitzes, defenses can't move pre snap and no subbing until a first down is made, if it's just my guys against yours for 4 downs.
If you prepare your defense well enough, they can get ready.

LSU's conditioning for the HUNH in the 2011 Oregon game actually helped them have such a dominant defense that season. They adjusted for it and shut it down. So I'm all for teams running that style of offense because it'll only force the defense to get better.

He admittedly stated it was a "stunt". There!!

Yeah I think that preparation for that game should be the way it's done every year just because it makes the actual game slow down for you. For what it's worth I don't think auburn's o was gimmicky. Teams like Oregon on the other hand couldn't do better than 8-4 if they were forced to line up and play football which is why they trip up on solid teams like Stanford that play real football. That BS is just like Heisemans quote said, a "stunt" when you can't man up head to head at every position.
