Happy Tuesday, everyone. Some big news dropped yesterday around proposed college football rule changes designed to shorten games. Ross Dellenger seems to have been the first to report:
- Clock would no longer stop on first downs, save for the last two minutes of each half
- Clock would run on incomplete passes after the ball is spotted, save for the last two minutes of each half
- Consecutive timeouts would be outlawed (usually icing the kicker late in the half)
- No more untimed downs when a quarter ends on a defensive penalty.
