If they can make changes to help aid a certain style of play, then they can make changes to help the other side of the ball or like Big Daddy said, give the pro style offenses more clock to drain.

Real question, What changes a few years ago did they make that unleveled the playing field?

Well then frick.
Then bring on the 8th man. Luckily Bama has been collecting plenty of money here lately. Now I know why.

I call bullshite. Are they really changing the rules so other teams can compete.
If the refs cant handle the speed of the game, then that should tell you something about if the players can handle it or not.
This is gonna be like adding a 3 pointer to basketball.
Looks like Bama will have to start shooting three's.
Maybe you guys should do more wind sprints
?

I was too busy cussing our two inept QBs to count the number of officials.
I think the extra one threw Mincy out of the game

It just sounds like to me they are trying to aid certain teams that use this style. Does everyone really want all teams to have to move to this to keep up.
It's the future of football. The days of fat 340 lb DL are ending. If you're not in shape, you won't be able to handle it.
The reality is that a no-huddle hurry-up spread offense, which doesn't have a set playbook and relies on quick reads by the WRs, RBs, OL, and QB is what everything is moving towards. The reason is because it keeps the defense on its heels and you can't rely on the old standard of analyzing film to determine plays.
The only thing you will get out of watching film of a no-huddle hurry-up spread offense is general strategy and tendencies. You won't be able to discern plays because these offenses don't actually run plays, they rely on reads made by the players. They may use different formations, but virtually every scenario can be run out of each formation. This is why Saban and every other coach struggles against this kind of offense. The only way to really beat it is with better, smarter and more conditioned athletes.
Strength and conditioning coaches are going to get more and more important as football practices become more like track meets in order to get the players prepared to both run and stop these offenses.

S&T coaches have long been one of the most important guys on the staff in the SEC.

True, but now they are going to become even more important. Unlike before, where teams could afford to have guys who were out of shape, you can't now. You can't afford to have big and fat DL (unless you're Vince Wilfork). The modern DTs are moving to the Ndamukong Suh type just like DEs have moved towards being like the LSU DEs were this past season.
Last year's LSU defense is going to be the model with regards to what type of players need to be playing agains this type of offense.
