[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 63719, member: 1640"] I had read all of these already. But I also read a blog for football referees, I think it was called Zebra Stripes. They describe in excruciating detail the the multiple check offs that the refs, back judges and umpires have to go through with each other before the ball can be snapped. It is quite eye opening. Without going into that excruciating detail the upshot of it was that hurry up offenses would like to run the next play within 15 seconds of the end of the previous play. The refs implied that is not going to happen sometimes unless the refs are missing multiple rule violations. So, more times than not it is going to take longer than 15 seconds, maybe not 30, which is what is legally required but certainly not 15. In a different article responding to that, Mark Richt said that it was a pretty poor defensive coordinator who could not have his defensive substitutions ready to go on a key third down against a hurry up offense. But my original reason for offering my opinion still stands. I have watched plenty of TV games where the hurry up offense is ready to go and the ref is bending over with his hand on the ball looking around to make sure everything is set. So, in one sense it does not matter what the rule says as much as it matters how the rule is actually enforced in real life. Come to think about it, that sounds a lot like the way it is with lots of laws in life. [/QUOTE]
