Correct. People misunderstand our offense. It doesn't work because it goes fast, the fast aspect is just a gimmick really. We backed off it a good bit this year and still put up ungodly numbers on offense.

100% right. Playing fast doesn't make the offense work. It's the other way around. The offense works because of all the RPOs and reads we are able to make on the fly . . . which allows us to play fast if we want to. Half the time, all we're doing is just lining up fast to trap the defensive personnel on the field.

NFL teams average about 65ish snaps per game with faster clock rules and the offenses do just fine. We averaged a little under 75 last year. It's a little laughable to act like this is a huge deal for us. Plus, it'll save at least a game's worth of wear and tear over the course of a season. It makes perfect sense.

This has little to nothing to do with us. If this turns into anything outside of the “player safety” venue, it’ll end up being more of a a “more commercials aired” type of situation within the already blocked off timeframe (if anything).

NOPE. What exactly does "Less Plays" Mean to you? Geeze. Saban has already Lobbied against the Hurry up; when Auburn started running it under Malzon. Be sure you know the facts before sounding off.

Tillman got hurt because the pass exposed him to the hit that caused the injury. When I played, we were taught to take the legs out from under the receiver.

Yep. Jason Parker. Hardly Ever missed a tackle. And that pass should haven't been thrown, It left Tillman exposed.

There's no way they can do that without taking possessions away from teams that go fast.

Talking about speeding up the play clock, amongst other options. "Player Safety". Oh yeah. But, they will keep them out on hot fields while running 5 minutes of commercials. The Plays are what they want to cut. Commercials remain intact...... This was the Exact excuse Saban used when Auburn beat them by wearing them out with hurry up.

This game is going beyond what I call football. When are we going to see the NCAA declare that the winner of the initial coin toss is the game winner now all you fans get out of here. We have your money and that is all we care about.

Did Tennessee Lead the Nation in the Fastest time between plays? YEP. Is the Hurry Up not designed to wear down the Defense? YEP. And you say this proposal won't affect Tennessee? Geeze you people kill me. What a stressful place to visit and try to be informative. Genius opinionated alley.

…and we’ll operate the exact same way under new clock rules; trap personnel on the field to create mismatches and go fast when we want to. We’ll run a few less plays. They’ll run a few less plays.

I definitely agree with that. Don’t talk player safety while kicking off games below the Mason-Dixon Line at 3:30 in September.

Keeping the clock running on 1st downs, a la the NFL, forces college teams to practice to be better prepared for our offense.

Some people like drama. They still have to be ready but now, instead of thinking they have time after a first down...... they need to be ready.

That's all.

I just had this mental imagine of a running clock and shortened quarters leaving teams loading the buses in a complete state of confusion and catatonic stupor after Tennessee scores 5 TDs and the game's over before they can figure out wtf just happened.

Seems to me that it'd play in our favor. Suddenly defensive depth isn't quite as critical.
