re: Slow down! Refs want to hit pause on up-tempo play

If the refs can't keep up then find some who can. If the offensive players can compete for a play and then get lined up and go again then everyone else on the field should have to keep up or not get on the field. That goes for refs and defenders.

Watching Bama and Arkie fans dick ride this so fricking hard is amusing.

All the refs are going to be doing is enforcing the rules. There are rules in place about substitution and stuff that up-tempo teams have been getting away with skirting for awhile.
Rather than pass new rules they decided they should just properly enforce the ones already on the books.

This all turned into a defend the team you love/hate thread. No Auburn fan is going to come in here and say they agree with this. Ttown refs this year will be some damn sumo wrestlers.

It might be to our own detriment (the non-fast-paced teams). I agree it's cheap to hurry and go fast and not allow the defense to get ready, and I do realize auburn was damn close last year, but has a fast-pace-all-the-time offense ever won a national title?
In other words, is it possible fast-paced teams shoot themselves in the foot more often by the very nature of their overall pace strategy? (Turnovers, mistakes, not being as equipped to run a quarter or two of clock out, etc)....so, even though we (the non up tempo teams) think it's a good idea for officials to slow it down and let us play real football and get set, maybe the strategy itself is why those teams aren't consistently winning titles? Just a thought.

Auburn fans are going to be so mad.

I'm not for or against the HUNH. I don't care what type of offense anyone runs. However, I think refs shouldn't allow the ball to be snapped unless all the refs are in their proper place. I also think they need to add an age limit for refs and they need to make their conditioning requirements stricter. It's ridiculous seeing these 60 year old, overweight refs trying to keep up with these college kids.
