LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly isn’t a fan of the college football replay system. In fact, he thinks it’s “ruining the game” according to comments he made on his weekly radio show.
LSU beat the Florida Gators, 45-35, last Saturday. The game, however, was slowed by several uses of replay. Kelly lit into the practice this week, saying it’s “just slowing the game down,” according to ESPN.
“My biggest concern is that we’re just slowing the game down,” Kelly said. “Look, we’ve got to pay the bills, I get it. It’s four [hours], three, four, three, with timeouts. That’s not going away, or we’re going to be obviously not paying anybody anything.
“But to stop the game for so many reviews and most of them to be ‘the play stands as called,’ it just takes away the flow of the game. Hopefully, it’s something that we can look at at the end of the season. Maybe it can be instant replay on scoring plays only or change of possession. And then, if you feel like it’s egregious, throw your red flag out there.”
Kelly and the Tigers are next in action Saturday when they host the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels in SEC play.
