NEW YORK -- Alabama coach Nick Saban and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema voiced their concerns about the effects of up-tempo, no-huddle offenses on player safety to the NCAA committee that passed a proposal to slow down those attacks.
Neither Saban nor Bielema were on the committee and they did not vote on the proposal passed Wednesday to allow defenses time to substitute between plays by prohibiting offenses from snapping the ball until 29 seconds are left on the 40-second play clock.
"The 10-second rule is like asking basketball to take away the shot clock -- Boring!"
The no huddle, fast tempo style has changed the game of CFB. Our sport has exploded in popularity with high scoring games & packed stadiums.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy

This proposal brings up memories of a few years back when the NCAA started the clock during kick offs.
They should leave this alone.
Fast break football will cycle itself anyway.

Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

so this can affect late games situations when teams need to snap the ball fast to spike it or something

i think this rule was never put in place, thank god. Saban is just mad because his defenses get punked by the high-paced offenses
