In-Game Thread: Louisiana vs. Georgia

[CajunEXPRESS]

Unless you bring in substitutes he should let the play progress ASAP. Did you notice if we substituted players. It really isn't about a huddle.

[Tell The Truth]

Georgia is a sorry SEC team....played against their 2nd and 3rd defense from the midpoint of the 3rd quarter on...just get the check and wait to get embarrassed at home by Ark. State....it is surely going to happen....what's worse is if you listen to the 1420 post game show it sounds as if we won the game....those guys are really drinking more than the usual ULL kool aid...they think we are going to the NO Bowl without even cheating this time....so far at least

AJ is in the shotgun calling the play and the ref. runs up under the center from behind the QB and stops the play. Hell I thought you could get the other team with to many men or lest than eleven on the field. I guess the new rule stops that from happening. I'm not talking about coming out of the huddle, I am talking about everyone lined up and your QB is call the play and the man in strips say hole up the defense is not ready......

I believe that is the Nick Saban rule...seriously.

Look, bringing in substitutes has nothing to do with the play. If you have your eleven players that you want and you are at the line and your QB is calling the play why in the hell the ref. is coming up to the center and the PLAY CLOCK is still running and he stops the play. If the defense is not ready hell with it. When the offense is at the line and ready they can't bring in as offensive substitute. That's a penalty, illegal substituting......

So Nick got ______ off because he didn't have is defense set so they came up with the rule....

The rules have been changed to allow the defense time to substitute after the offense does.

I guess I am not making myself clear here. I am not talking about the defense and offense running unto the field with the players the want. I am talking about the center is ready to snap the ball. The ref. has stopped the play during that situation several times....

If you have your eleven players that you want (and you are at the line and your QB is calling the play) why in the hell the ref. is coming up to the center and the PLAY CLOCK is still running and he stops the play.

Calm down.

I agree with Dre on that issue.

The rule now reads once the offense subs, the defense may sub. It happens to AState every game where we make 1 substitution and quickly line up, but are held up because the defense ran 5 lumbering D Linemen on. It doesn't matter if the offense is set, once they sub, the defense must be allowed time to sub and line up

It really is called the Nick Saban rule. It was one of the compromises from a few years ago when the SEC started making noise about requiring teams to wait 11 seconds before snapping the ball.

If the offense subs late and the defense can't get on before the play clock expires, that's on the offense, not the defense according to the letter of the rule. The solution around it is to not substitute except during obvious stoppages in play.

Exactly

#56 freshman LB Terrence Jones looks like he'll have a great future 2'3" 235 looked good on a couple of plays today.

I like Terrance a lot. He will be called upon a LOT next year.
