Coincidence. The best team in the SECE is USC and they beat Mizzou. Mizzou played a depleted UGA and didn't play any of the top 3 in the west.Is it just coincidence that Mizzou and Aub are playing in the SEC title with inferior talent than several SEC teams or is it a superior offense?
Is it coincidence that Oregon lost (again) to Stanford, which has about 75 percent of the athleticism of Oregon across the board?Is it just coincidence that Mizzou and Aub are playing in the SEC title with inferior talent than several SEC teams or is it a superior offense?
Doesn't exist at the pro level? Have you ever watched Peyton Manning?Is it coincidence that Oregon lost (again) to Stanford, which has about 75 percent of the athleticism of Oregon across the board?
Or that Clemson lost (again) to South Carolina, despite having more talent on its offense than South Carolina had on its defense?
Or that Auburn lost to LSU?
Or that Missouri lost to South Carolina?
You seem to think the HUNH solves everything. We haven't even established it's a superior offense. Only one team running the offense has ever won a NC (AU, 2010). Florida's spread-option was a completely different thing and Alabama has three titles with a multiple pro-set. The HUNH basically doesn't exist at the pro level. More than half the BCS top 10 runs something besides it. You really need to find a new schtick.

No other sport I can think of has a loophole in the rules that allows the offense to go before the defense is ready. Can you imagine if there was an equivalent HUNH in tennis? The server would be racing to sevice line once he got the ball hands to serve the ball in hopes the defense was not ready or even there before he served. Its a crummy loophole that is ruining the game.

I think what Jess means is you don't see the hyper pace in the NFL as you do in college where defenses can't even physically line up. I've watched the Broncos and though they get to the line of scrimmage quick Manning still takes an eternity to signal the snap due to his pre snap signals and adjustments at the line.Doesn't exist at the pro level? Have you ever watched Peyton Manning?
or New England. they do use a form of no huddle. it may not be the "Spread Option" but they do go no huddle a lot.Doesn't exist at the pro level? Have you ever watched Peyton Manning?
My point is that's not what most NFL teams do. The HUNH is what GM runs at the barn - you'll notice they not only tried to get to the line quickly, but also snap quickly - HUNH is not only about preventing subs (no huddle has been around for ever for that purpose), but also to limit the defense's ability to make pre-snap adjustments. Outside of two-minute type offenses, I've not seen anyone do this consistently in the NFL.Sorry, ca, it is called HUNH, not HURP.
I have to go with twofbyc here; The purpose of the HUNH is really to keep the same Defensive personnel on the field and limit substitutions. GM has very often run his offense where they line up quickly, but then also take a lot of the play clock before snapping the ball. A lot of that is because he's calling the plays in over from the sideline based on what the D does, and if the D shifts, sometimes he'll call the audible instead of having the QB do it. He takes a big burden off his QBs by doing this. That's honestly the only thing I really hate about the HUNH as I love seeing the QB and MLB making all the adjustments on the field as I think is shows how good the opposing coaches are since they have to teach the players what adjustments and calls to make. We don't see this in the pro game because they have rules that limit the communication from the sidelines. The calls have to come in via the headset in the QB or MLB helmet, and they're turned off at a set time past once the ball is set. I'd love to see that rule implemented in the college game, along with none of those silly signs that get used. That way at least the offensive coaches would have the burden of coaching/teaching the QB how to make the checks on the field, OR would have to slightly slow down the pace.My point is that's not what most NFL teams do.

I think this is a fair and balanced approach. "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."I'm looking at the overall picture of the future. To we keep the complicated Nickel Schemes (Which I love) or do we do some tweaking to handle these problematic offenses. There has to be some sort of Defensive "Evolution" to meet the demands of new offensive philosophies and athletes. Not hung up on yesterdays loss. The losses we've had have been to these sorts of teams. I mean I'm happy with our team, staff, etc.... but there is always room for improvement. I know CNS thinks that way also.
And this is a good thing?The tempo and rules is a lot like the old 40 minutes of hell that Arkansas basketball ran. There were a lot of fouls that could've been called on Arkansas that weren't because the pressure dictated the pace of the game and the refs went along with it. The same is happening with football.
