To those if you crying that the fast pace is unfair to the defense, I don't get you. The offense and the defense have the same amount of time to get set

People keep talking about "Real Football". Football has been played with these rules in place,s o wouldn't a rule change be getting away from "real football"?
Growing up I've always found the "pussy" of any sport/game to be the one the cries when something isn't fair and tries to change a rule, instead of just dealing with it and playing it the way it has always been played.

Ross that is obviously a perception but it is sort of untrue since the O determines when the ball is snapped. The advantage is in the myriad of reactions it makes D players go through and AU didn't do it much that I can remember as much as like aTm (Sumlin's PC really takes advantage much more than Malzahn's) calling an inside trap run, then huddle back up, then a deep go rte pass. It forces that CB and S that just ran inside to stop a runner to get back and cover a WR.
It's mental to stick to your man and not do what has been taught and attack whoever has the ball. Bama's issues. Like against Denver the best D against a HUNH is an experienced physical secondary that can not get forced out of position and the front 7 can apply all the pressure they want.

HUNH can also be smash mouth actually AU was pretty much an example of that this year they ran the ball pretty well

How does eliminating the HUNH affect the read option? The triple option? The inside zone?
That's right... it doesn't.
Auburn will still be Auburn

The fact of the matter is, the NCAA wants to change the rule in the name of player safety. What they don't have is objective data to back up the claim that the HUNH is more dangerous than offenses that like to be slow as molasses, therefore there are only assumptions and opinions on the matter. And until they actually prove the offense is more dangerous, while also not counting the players that fake injuries, I don't see it getting passed.

Hey now, we're talking about player safety here. We've got to stop this HUNH BS and get back to killing people in the trenches. Cause its safer.

So running the ball 70%+ of the time isn't smashmouth now? Running the ball for over 4500 yards isn't smashmouth.
I guess we need to run a "balanced" offense to be "smashmouth".

Lulz at Burt and Arky. Bobby had them at a respectable level, and now they're reduced to changing the rules so they can be competitive. 
It's like we're being forced to play with the retards on the play ground.

Yes, and the play-action pass and draw are acceptable forms of "smash-mouth" football.

Exactly. Which is why I don't understand the bitching by your fellow fans. The only difference this rule would make is allow the defense to have a fresh set of legs. AU seldom ever snapped the ball before ten seconds anyway. If there isn't a rule implemented there will be a lot more bush league fake injuries.

The scholarship rule change has nothing to do with how the game is played. I would say that most recent rule changes recently (mostly ones to "protect" players) have only hurt the game. College football's popularity is at an all time high now. Why try to fix something that isn't broken? I'd say Bama has done pretty well with the rules we have now.

Maybe the NCAA should eliminate blitzing for player safety. Those QBs can get hurt with the extra hits they take. I mean they are playing football and where do you draw the line for player safety?

The game of football is meant to be physical. It wasn't meant to be basketball on grass. If you like basketball on grass, watch the Canadian Football League. I think basketball type scores are shameful. The SECCG was a disgrace to our conference that used to pride itself in defense.
