COLUMBIA, Mo. — The last two minutes of the first half are changed-up crunch time for Missouri.
Through four games, it’s been in that window the No. 11 Tigers (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) have most acutely felt the impacts of two key rule changes new to college football in the 2024 season — and there have been lessons for Mizzou to learn.
Coach-to-helmet communication and the addition of a two-minute warning are the two small but notable modifications to the college game that began this season. Neither is particularly complicated: Up until there are 15 seconds on the play clock or the ball is snapped, whichever comes first, a single player on each side of the ball has a coach speaking to them through an earpiece.
