This is what the rule should be. You have a set time to get your defensive subs in before they can snap the ball

Whatever BS Utah was doing with the substitutions needs to be banned.

How about arod not sub with 15 secs on the clock instead.

Fowler said they subbed players with almost 25 sec on the play clock and still had to take a

There was a play during the broadcast where they showed the team subbing at 15

Agree, we do it too

That rule needs to be changed. You shouldn’t have to take a penalty or timeout because

They’d wait as long as they could, then have the sub run all the way out, tap the other guy to leave, and then he’d jog

This is a good point..you could change the rule to say subbed player must move

Or say you’ve got 8 seconds max. Use them wisely. Refs can’t track it easily but the rule would be there

The rule was made for chip kelly going super fast. It should only be for the

I'd rather make it easy on the officials. Stop the clock if the defense wants to sub. They get to choose to either let

It's a dumb rule. We did do it to them once.

Too bad rules have to be written because 1 CFB coach is a weasel

BYU does it too, but not as much because we sub more than any team I know. TBH, I am surprised more teams didn’t take

You realize BYU did the same thing last night? They actually did it before Utah

Honestly, I didn’t see it as I was seated on the east side behind Utah bench.

Something seemed different about it last night. Like, UU was slower than...

Correct. Still an idiotic rule. Can’t blame Utah for doing it and getting an advantage from a stupid rule.

I can’t remember a game where both teams had multiple penalties or burned time outs like last night

They took advantage of BYU'S ineptitude to get subs and the play in sooner

I've often thought that they need to just add to the rule a duration that the ref will hold the play for subs.

Offense must initiate subs within the first 15-seconds of the play clock. Defense must complete substitutions before 10

Until the rule is changed, I think BYU should perfect that stupid strategy.

Really seemed like it was something about the way we were substituting

I don’t think that’s the answer, then the team trying to run the clock would have an advantage

That’s why I just like the “pause” option - click operator just stops play
