New rule unfavorable to our offense

This is just nuts. People complaining about the Bama game "THAT WE WON". Oh, it took to long so I didn't like it. Really? Really? Jesus help me understand.

OK, no more weather delays. Gotta keep playing so we don't go over 4 hours. No more replay. It takes to long. No more injury timeouts. A guy gets hurt just drag him off the field or use your own timeouts. If you don't have one then it's 5 yards.

All these ideas speed up the game. I'm not for any of them.

Honestly, I don't look at the clock to see if it's running or not. I may look to se how much time is left in the quarter, but I never paid attention to if it was running after a first down.

Tennessee is going to go tempo regardless, unless they make some kinda rule outlawing a hurry up offense.

I agree that cutting the time for commercials would make a difference, but that's what pays the bills, so I don't see that happening.

And finally, when you have the officials having to run the field like they do for Heupel's offense, those guys are like me, too old to run the field with 22 young, in shape, athletes.

Stay tuned. The bammers of the world are dead set on screwing the hurry up.

All that needs doing is cutting the commercials. Of course that makes too much sense, and hurts TV revenue, OR Should it? Just charge the sponsors the same and show less? What a concept. Then, commercials might not be ignored as much....

That’s how it works in every sport… I you perform better, you’re rewarded for your effort. That is why all the teams will be competing to be one of the top 4 to get that bye. Much like in the NFL, teams want to have the best record in their conference so they receive the first round bye.

Of course, the week off can be helpful, but can also be harmful. There are plenty of nfl teams that had first round byes that went on to lose when they finally returned to the field.

The reward is #1 gets to play #16. Heck in BB the top 4 don’t get a bye in the NCAA tournament cause you can fill the field. Conferences unti they reached 16 could not. In baseball you get to host, but you play. And those sports don’t have injury issues like FB.

WONDER if post season pre playoff practices are treated like bowl prep and if you get a bye you don’t get to start till X days before your first game?

Good Lord. Suggestion: Just watch the replays on Sunday them. You get 2 minutes for every game and leave the real game alone.

Do you honestly think that because I would rather games be 3 hours than 4, that a logical solution would be to only watch 2 minute highlights? Is that what you really believe I want a game to be?

I’m happy that games that start at 9:30pm will now end at 12:30am and not 1:30am. I’m happy that we won’t have as many overlapping games, where we miss the entire first quarter of the 3:30pm game because a noon game is lasting way longer than anticipated.

I just heard about this a couple hours ago on the Doug Matthews show. He had a guest on that I missed the intro of, but it sounded like he was a football official for the SEC. He was talking about a new rule for this year where if an offensive player goes out of bounds by the bench on his team’s side of the field, the officials will stop the game to allow the defense to substitute. He then said that the teams in the conference that like to go up-tempo - it sounded like he wanted to name us but he stopped short of it, it really sounded like he was relishing this new rule and how it would affect us, sounded like he was smirking - would avoid running plays on their side of the field because of this rule. Am I missing something or did Kirby/Nick slip one by on us and successfully get the league to do away with our offensive scheme, which obviously relies on utilizing the entire field? If this rule does what I think it does, UT needs to sue the league for collusion, unfair trade practice, bad faith, unequal representation, and anything else they can think of (I‘m not a lawyer and have no doubt there’s a more pertinent law that covers this). And the officials that legislated this should be prosecuted for racketeering and banned for life.

Hopefully I misunderstood, but it sounded really bad.

This sounds like a good ole American conspiracy theory. No way this is true.

I can imagine the real Irish watching ND and Navy yesterday were like, "What the hell, mate? I like to pop out for a pint when the clock stops but these bloody Yanks would have a man scuttered in the first period!"

Except to work on basics, extra practice time would really be not be overly beneficial since you don’t know which team to prep for until after the first round games are played.

Good no reason to not limit them to X on field or other team gatherings the same number allowed the teams playing first round. Bet they have them just like bowl prep.

If they were serious about speeding up the game they’d

1) limit to replay reviews. Constantly reviewing plays, many which aren’t relevant, adds 10-15 minutes easy.
2) reduce halftime to 15 minutes. Most visiting teams don’t take full bands on the road. Home band plays. That’s it.
3) Give each team 3 injury TOs per half. After they’re gone it’s a 5 yard penalty. Teams can’t go to sideline during them. Coaches would stop the “fake injury” time out. As the rules are now, teams have unlimited timeouts. They just have a player to fake an injury to get a TO.

This is the only thing I can find on rule changes as it persons to the clock:

College football’s new clock rules for 2023, explained: 3 changes aim to shorten games | Sporting News

Nothing about which sideline a player goes out on in there. I would think a rule change like that would have to be announced to coaches before the season starts.

Any chance it’s just something the moron “would like to see change”?

The three are very consistent with everything I have seen.

The OP admits he missed the intro, and doesn't even know who the guest was. I think we can move on from this, as it is definitely not real.

There are other ways to shorten the length of the game than drastically reducing the number of plays. First and foremost, timeouts are waaaaay too long! I know, they want their TV revenue, but maybe make each commercial a little shorter? Being at a game sitting through the drawn out timeouts is horribly annoying.

Can you read? I already posted his name, Tom Ritter, and that he is a retired SEC football official. Other posters even posted photos of him. If you’re going to join the conversation, try to not be clueless. Matthew’s’ show is on every Saturday on 104.5 out of Nashville and has been on the air for many years now - he is not some college kid doing a vlog from his basement.

I agree with that. I also hate how long the review process takes. The last 2 minutes of a game can take over 30 minutes because of all the reviews and timeouts. I don’t like that either.

The real ways to shorten games while making them flow better, which none of the new rules they passed will accomplish:

1. Lessen the amount of commercials or at least commercial time. This is a non-starter. Networks paying these ridiculous media rights fees need to pack every second possible with ads to justify those fees. The only way to change that is to reduce the cost to networks, and we can be damn well sure that is never going to happen. Greed begets greed.

2. Stop the incessant injury timeouts. Since it's only about "player safety", simply have any player removed for injury sit out the remainder of that possession. Seems logical, which is why it will never happen, but that would put a stop to the nonsense.

3. Reduce the amount and time of reviews. This won't happen because they are a perfect opportunity for commercials, but putting a clock on reviews, like a minute, would help greatly. Better yet, only review scoring plays and turnovers - I get that officiating has never been worse, but reviewing things like the spot of the ball in the first quarter is a complete waste of time.

None of these is going to happen, so the only answers are to f***k with the game itself, which is the path they have predictably chosen.

gonna have to disagree, the “extra” time off /extra practice time would have been earned.

you didn't post it in the OP, and I don't have time to read the whole thread.

Doesn't change the fact that you didn't even catch the whole conversation, but decided to comment on it anyway, and were 100% wrong that there is a rule change. If you are going to get all snow-flakely on being called out for posting BS, don't post it to begin with. :p

Im not concerned about rule changes for our offense. I believe we are in a talent position now with a great offensive mind to where we can make changes and still be successful. It was very necessary our first season because in order to score we had to catch people off guard a lot of the time. Now i think we have the players to out athlete defenses.

The NFL hasn’t stopped the clock on first downs for a very long time. I have wanted this rule change for years. I’m glad they finally changed it. I wish they still didn’t stop the clock even inside 2 minutes of each half.

I wish it was for the full game as well. This would significantly affect other teams' success in the 2-minute drill. It would barely affect ours.
