The absolute best thing about these pussy coaches and their bullshite proposed rule is the absolute derision that is raining down upon their heads, pointing out their utter dishonest intentions.

Well coached teams are having no problem substituting against HUNH teams, amazing that some coaches haven't figured out how and feel the need to try and get the rules changed because they are in able to figure out what others have.

HUNH is a style of offense that defenses need to figure out how to play against.

This will get a lot of resistance as a lot of programs are running some form of the HUNH and teams are finding that by doing this they can be more competitive.

I guarantee you if Freeze had Bama's roster he would slow his offense way the frick down as would anybody that wants to win.

Should a rule be put in place that prevents Bama from ramming it down people's throats and milking the fricking clock so other teams have a chance to catch up.

I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that this bama guy is admitting to the skill advantage on the field and still trying to call the HUNH a "pussy" move and thinking he is proving a point.

What is hard to believe about it? If you aren't willing to give the defense an equal opportunity to call their plays, then you are admitting that you aren't good enough to beat them on a level playing field. Not that hard of a concept to understand.

Oh and btw...I may have had a few drinks. I'm apparently getting snowed in or something, so I may be ranting at this point.

They don't need to change damn rules. And the dumbasses that think Nick Saban is dictating this bullshite are crazy as hell. It's a proposal presented by a committee made up of coaches and administrators from all divisions. To my knowledge Alabama doesn't have a fricking representative on the committee.

Thats the point man. It isn't an even playing field by any means. Alabama has far superior talent across the board and 3 deep at every position. So, if you wanna go HUNH and take it to JUST those 11 other guys on the other side of the field.. they have the football, they should be allowed to control the tempo. You can do the same when you have the ball, you just choose not to. So there is zero reason to bitch about it.

Freeze would still run a high powered offense because that's what he's used to. I'm certain he'd run it different but it wouldn't be a power running game only like UA runs now.

The second statement is why this rule is going to be hard to pass with the other programs. SImply put too many programs would lose a great equalizer in their offense and that's not something they'll be willing to give up easily.

Any Bama fans whining about HUNH is a puss. Shut up. Bama left 19 points on the field, outgained Auburn, and lost a flukey game. Congrats to Auburn. Bama shouldn't give a shite about any offense. Just stop them. And they do. 90% of the time. The proposal is idiotic. Thank you.

I hate HUNH but this rule is stupid. So if a team is down by 10,14, 17 with 3 or 4 minutes to go, they can not run hurry up? That is DUMB

Feel like its the same exact concept as knowing you have a superior O-line and running game/backfield and can run out the clock compared to knowing you can't beat bama's 3 deep and trying to HUNH

They can run hurry up, we are only talking about 10 seconds from the start of the clock. And once the 2 minute mark is reached, the rule wouldn't even be in effect.

That's not close to a HUNH speed, it basically crippled a true HUNH team like Oregon runs.

Also it takes away the ability of the QB to make a quick snap and catch the defense on the field with 12 players.

I'd be surprised if this rule change is accepted but you never know with the NCAA.

Can you separate yourself as a bama fan for one nano second? This proposed rule change is absurd, and if you can do that, you would agree. It's coming down under "player safety" and not one single person has been able to point out where the safety issue lies. It's a garbage idea, plain and simple. Sure, HUNH teams are a pain in the arse for the bama's and LSU's on the world, but its a game plan/strategy. It's not cheating or deceptive in anyway

Again, my only point is that the defense should have the same chance to call their plays as the offense. The HUNH is designed to make sure the defense does not have that chance. Football isn't just a sport of offense. It is a sport that has an offense, defense, and special teams, 3 aspects...not one.

I think we ought to pass a rule so that Bama and LSU and Auburn and Georgia and Florida are no longer allowed to play FCS teams.

The size and speed difference in the two levels is just too damned dangerous.

We only want safety for the players.

They should outlaw the Play action pass too. How dare the offence try to gain an advantage on the defence by pretending to run and then throwing? Complete gimmick

Man up and run the ball.

First off, despite what this board thinks, this isn't a rule that Bama/Saban is pushing. Obviously there are other stewards of the game that believe that defense is an integral part of football, and should have an equal opportunity to use strategy in the game. It is definitely a game of strategy, so the defense should be allowed to use it too.

While we're at it, let's ban putting a man in motion or changing formations to try and trick the poor defenses.
