The officials didn't have it figured out last year. That was a big thing. AU got away with a lot of things that should have been called penalties, but the officials were discombobulated. They also sped up getting the ball in play for the HUNH. That's a no no. It should be methodical, the same for every Offense. They're SUPPOSED to have all that worked out for this upcoming season.

The SEC will continue to experiment with an eighth official at one game each week to help ensure consistency between plays.
"We'll call him the center judge," Shaw said. "The center judge will spot the ball on every play and will interact with the referee on substitutions. That's going to free up our umpire and our wing guys to go do their pre-snap routine. I'm encouraged that it's really helpful to us. That's the intent. It's not to go faster. It's not go slower. It's a consistent pace."
Shaw added that the SEC has worked with officials from other leagues on the issue.
"What we're saying is when the play is dead, the umpire or the person spotting the ball, you will not walk, and you will not sprint. We're calling it a 'crisp jog.' We're trying to get all of our umpires on the same page on a crisp jog.
"I think what you're going to see is very consistent work nationally."
