No Huddle (Poll)

[majesty95]

Glen Cieske raised an interesting point in our Group Me chat. He said that he is running a flexbone no huddle this year. This was after I kidding suggested I was going to run a pro style no huddle. So, it made me wonder if our no huddle rule is in need of being updated.



This was taken from our League Rules and Regulations

Personally, I was at an Iowa game earlier this year and they were running the no huddle out of two TE singleback and I-Form sets. I thought it was ridiculous at the time but it was still done. According to NCAA Football 14 flexbone teams like Army and Navy run the no huddle as well. Now, I'm not sure if that is true or not but, if so, it certainly suggests that maybe we should allow it in the league. And to that point, in college football these days, is there a reason to disallow the no huddle in any instance?

That also begs the question: Do we go back to sticking to a specific playbook or keep the improvised "style" rule? In theory, if I say I'm a "pro spread offense" I could really use just about any playbook whereas a "spread no huddle" wouldn't be expected to use I-Form and 2-TE sets and "flexbone" would be further limited. I'll let y'all decide. I know which way I'm leaning but interested to see how you guys feel...

Army and Navy do run a Hurry up no huddle flexbone, GA Tech also runs it on occasion to throw off defenses

I agree that it can be used for "other than" spread teams. As long as their are no AI concerns, I'm fine with it. Plus I already know that the guys that use it are cheaters.

Ok. I will change the rules to allow no huddle at any time. However, you must notate in the playbooks thread that you are a no huddle team so that your opponent knows what to expect.
