Much ado about nothing.
However, I do think this is the way to handle these hurry-ups offenses at all levels. Officials should dictate the pace of the game.

Officials dictate the pace at all levels. This was just a media concoction out of nothing that is not normally done. I have never worked a college game where we did not discuss what to do when a team wants to no huddle. And no one moves any faster in the middle of the game then they normally would. And college has rules in place where if the offense subs, the defense can sub too. But as usual the media is not aware of this and assumes that the college officials allowed something they clearly did not and jump to conclusions. The reactions from many media people was classically funny silly.
