You want to talk about safety issues? Forget the no-huddle, LSU coach Les Miles says. Let's talk about holding.

"If I had the magic wand on changing rules, I would call holding much more effectively," Miles said on Wednesday's SEC coaches teleconference. "I think those guys that are pursuing the defense have to have their hands inside. ... I think anytime an offensive lineman closes in around the defensive guy and he loads his body with greater weight, to me in play that is a much more significant problem than hurry-up."

when he said on the teleconference that he believes the increased use of the no-huddle offense in college football is "something that can be looked at" by rules makers. By not allowing defenses to substitute, Saban said, it creates a safety issue.

Asked about Saban's comments Wednesday, Miles said he believes lax enforcement of offensive holding is a bigger problem.

"Hurry-up will always be an issue and the issue will be that the quarterback and the offense is ready to go before the defense, and then they snap it, and the defense isn't ready," Miles said. "There's always going to be a point in time where the defense is not necessarily using their time exactly as they should. There are going to be defenses that are not ready.

"I don't know that this is as urgent an issue in my mind. I would call holding much more stringently offensively because I think it's a health issue for the defense."
