The defense can force a complete shutdown to pace by working the injury timeout rules to their advantage. And it wouldn't even take actually faking the injury, just have exhausted players lie down instead of trying to double-time it to the sideline to catch a blow.
By all means flag coaches who are yelling who knows what at the officials to force them to speed up the tempo. If they bring the integrity and impartiality of the officiating crew into question, it is fifteen yards for unsportsmanlike conduct since the HUNH coaches are trying to make the officials be partial to their offense through their harassment to speed up play. I suspect that players do it too, so flag them as well. Keep it up, and they get ejected. Throw in a loss of down for each offense because it is the Head Coach.
And - don't forget Shaw's remark about it's making replay impossible. I think the climate's about to change in the SEC. I don't put too much importance on the straw poll the NCAA conducted on the use of the ten second rule. I think it certainly had a number of voters who use the HUNH (or would like to move to it), but I think that a large contingent (I'm one) just didn't think it was the right approach. And, then, I think Saban's hegemony played in, also. (If'n he's fur it, then, dammit, I'm agin it.)
I agree. It really does challenge, but it challenges everyone. I'm sure we will catch up to it. It's just infuriating right now.i wonder if they'll create a package for it. The offense also has to keep their offense off the field as well.
