in the end all that matters.

Oklahoma, Auburn, and A&M find a way to move the ball against the defensive style that not many other teams can conventionally; a defensive style that operates primarily based on defensive package strategy (which takes time when you're trying to sub in multiple players rather than subbing to give a player a break) and now the rules need to change.

All the offenses are doing is countering a strategy employed by Saban from his study of teams and what they like to do based on down and distance and formation percentages by taking away what he likes to do. This in-turn gives their team a better chance at success.

He simply needs to adapt which means lighter, more athletic linebackers which is what this argument is really all about. They would need to slim down to about C.J. Moseley's weight rather than play at 250-260. Consequently, it may also affect the run defense from being as stout.
