CFB Rules Changes

[Skeptic]

Yeah, it seems to me that the 1-yd rule would be bad for us.

And we are different from other teams how?

And we are different from other teams how?

We rarely pass?

We rarely pass?

There would be that. This weekend I plan to watch our offense at work against FSU and MSU and maybe Georgia. No defense. Just forward through that and marvel at how slick Thomas makes the offense work, and can't help thinking that whoever follows him has an impossible chore. Comparisons won't be pretty. Even passing.

It's all encrypted, good luck with that.

Belicheck would also have stolen playbooks and encryption keys. If you aren't cheatin' you aren't tryin'. He has only been caught how many times?

I think these rule changes hurt others more than us so it's fine. I like restricting the offenses some since there have been so many rule changes which restrict the D (targeting, lack of O holding calls, bull rushing the center etc)

This blocking rule doesn't effect is. It hurts Auburn, Clemson, Arizona,Oregon, UNC. So this is good for us....

Basically these teams were able to push the envelope and not get flagged for their o-linemen drive blocking on pass option plays. They could disguise what they were doing more knowing they wouldn't get flagged.

It helps everyone but the teams who have this as a part of their scheme.

Think the NFL rule is already at 1yd, so the Patriots and coach B already work the new CFB rule.

The 1 yard rule change has been shot down by the NCAA.

Glad to see that the NCAA did not go with the 1 yard downfield on passes for O-Lineman. That would put all offenses at a disadvantage but especially us that relies on play action so much.
