🏈 Good News! Common Sense in the nzaa with rule change proposals on targeting and the HUNH offenses

[bama alum]

NCAA committee proposing 10-second defensive substitution period and overturning 15 yard penalties on overturned ejections. Common sense on both proposals.

Thank god for the 2nd one. I'm not totally for the 10-second defensive sub, but it sounds reasonable.

Will this be called another "Saban Rule"

Will this be called another "Saban Rule"

probably not by the ncaa, rather by everyone else.

NCAA committee proposes defensive substitution rule that will slow hurry-up offenses

The NCAA Football Rules Committee has recommended a rules change barring offenses from snapping the ball until the play clock reaches 29 seconds or less in order to give defenses time to substitute within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock.

Some additional info on the proposed changes. Don't see this 10 second rule amounting to much.

The NCAA football rules committee has proposed a change to the targeting rule that would eliminate the 15-yard penalty when instant replay officials overturn an ejection.

Last year, when a targeting penalty was called, the 15-yard penalty stood even if the replay official determined the player should be allowed to stay in the game.

The proposal needs approval from the playing rules oversight panel.

The rules committee also proposed a change to allow defenses to substitute within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock, with the exception of the final two minutes of each half. Offenses would not be allowed to snap the ball until 29 seconds are left on the play clock.

The proposed change is in response to no-huddle offenses that don't allow defenses to substitute.

The ten-second rule...Eh. The ridiculous targeting rule. It's gotta go!

 

[tidentrue]

Like the overturned ejection rule, the other sucks hind tit in my opinion?

Good News! Common Sense in the nzaa

Rodriguez, Malzahn, Freeze, Flood, and Tubberville have some comments about it.

I didn't get the memo that it froze over. :dazed:

Also worth noting who's on the rules committee. Zero representation from the bigger conferences, believe we discussed this here a while ago.

Ejection rule had to change. The No huddle teams will bitch enough to the point it doesnt pass.

Ejection rule had to change. The No huddle teams will bitch enough to the point it doesnt pass.

Here's something I find confusing.

In the rule proposal, the committee states, "Research indicated that teams with fast-paced, no-huddle offenses rarely snap the ball with 30 seconds or more on the play clock."

If this change is going to have little to no affect on these type of offenses. why are coaches like Rich-Rod, Malzahn, and Freeze complaining about the proposal?

---

From my perspective, the issue I see still isn't addressed by this proposal: the difference in the amount of time the officials take to put the ball into play, and then for those same officials to get into their respective positions.

Putting the ball into play at a quicker pace is off balance; how to correct that is something I can't answer.

HOWEVER, when these officials aren't in their position to make ordinary calls? It goes to show something needs to be changed.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Chad Morris had made the comment that "officials aren't calling ineligible receivers down field so we're going to send ineligible receivers down field." Why is that happening? It stands to reason if an official misses those calls it's very likely he's not in position to make those calls.

 

[TerryP]

Another coach speaks out on the change; in favor of what it can do.

Mash this...

The NFL is proposing the same change. I think it makes sense.
