MSU had the 6th best offense in SEC history, so the NCAA responded accordingly

Figures. My position on HUNH is pretty simple: Offenses shouldn't be allowed to snap the ball before the chains are set. I've seen wayyyyy too many times that TSUN and Auburn are snapping the ball and the chain gang is still 3 yards behind trying to catch up. The official should stand over the ball until the chain gang is set. If the offense wants to immediately snap it at that point, I have no problem with it. But it's a joke and a disservice to the game when teams are snapping so fast. There's literally no way to tell where the ball should be spotted when the chains aren't set.

I thought the SEC cleaned that up this past year to a large degree. Year before it was ridiculous.

This is how I feel too. I don't mind it if a team wants to snap the ball quickly, but I do ask that it be done within the current rules of the game.

Yep. How they even allow teams to snap the ball without having the chains set is beyond me. I really don't see how that is not against the rules.

And to be fair, we ran the HUNH a good bit this year too and got away with it a little- so I'm not just saying this because Auburn, A&M, and UM do it.
