    I hate the hurry, haven't liked it since I saw an OU game a few years ago. However, I am against putting in a rule to slow down these offenses unless they do find that the extra plays lead to decidedly more injuries. Do a comprehensive study over the next year then bring it to the table for debate.

    Love this tweet from renowned innovator Bob Stitt, head coach of the Colorado School of Mines:

    Here are some quotes from the Spurrier article. They are dead on IMO

    "He took it upon himself to go before the rules committee and get it done," Spurrier said of Saban. "They tried to change the rules. But I don't think they're gonna get away with it."
    Georgia coach Mark Richt said defenses should have to adjust to evolving offenses.
    "I feel like if you can train offensive players to play five or six plays in a row, you can train defensive players to play that many plays in a row, too," Richt told the Athens Banner-Herald.
    Richt also said he doubted no-huddle offenses prevented a safety hazard. Calhoun said he has yet to see a medical study linking the rapid pace of an offense to potential health issues for defensive players.
