  • NCAA FB Rule change

    hey Guys,

    Not sure if this is correct, But I saw this at another forum.

    IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE NETWORKS HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THE LENGTH OF SOME OF THE GAMES AND HOW THEY HAVE OVERLAPPED INTO THE OTHER GAMES. SO TO SPEED THINGS UP ON LICKOFFS THE CLOCK STARTS RIGHT AWAY ONCE THE BALL IS TOUCHED BY THE KICKER INSTEAD OF WHEN THE RECEIVER TOUCHES IT. SO WHAT THIS MEANS IS IF A TEAM IS DOWN AT THE END OF A GAMEAND THERE ARE ONLY A FEW TICKS LEFT U CAN JUST KICK IT OUT OF BOUNDS AND TIME WOULD EXPIRE,THE OTHER CHANGE IS WHEN THERE IS A TURNOVER INSTEAD OF THE CLOCK STARTING WHEN THOFFENSE SNAPS THE BALL IT WILL START WHEN THE BALL IS PLACED BY THE REF. THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE THE COMPLEXION OF THE OVER AND UNDERS AND IT WILL GIVE A SIGNIFICANT EDGE TO THE UNDERS. I AM SURE VEGAS WILL MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS ACCORDINGLY. IT IS ESTIMATED THIS COULD CAUSE 15-20 LESS PLAYS PER GAME WHICH COULD ALSO GIVE AN ADVANTAGE TO THE UNDERDOGS. I MAY NOT BE 100% ON THIS RULE BUT IT IS PRETTY CLOSE. JUST A BIT OF A HEADS UP GUYS. BEST OF LUCK AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER INFO REGARDING THIS CHANGE PLEASE LET US KNOW.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks TK

      Once the ball is kicked the clock starts. However, once it is kicked the kicking team is on defense. A game can't end on a defensive penalty. I'd think the offense would get one play.
