Oddbean new post about login | logout @ceed4f56 I hope they have success...... normally professional guys like him don't come back to college football and coach......his team needs some more players at the line of scrimmage and he should get them, of he chooses to stay and build the program at Colorado
@2a44975b I have no idea what their OC was doing on that last drive. He wasted at least 1:30. Also, two questions. 1) when did they change the rule about stopping the clock while the chains are moved for first downs. And 2) that pass by Sanders along the sidelines that got them to the 11 yd line. Why did they not stop the clock. He obviously went out of bounds after the catch.
@ceed4f56 the clock changed this year to speed up the game and "protect the players"....
@2a44975b How does that protect the players? That was the one thing that made games like that exciting because you knew if you were in a hurry up, you at least had the ability to stop the clock between plays if you got a first down if you were saddled with no timeouts. I don’t like it. Not one bit.
@ceed4f56 most of the rule changes are to make college like the nfl.....with the new clock rule teams are losing 5-8 snaps a game....the clock still stops on first downs just only at certain parts in the game
@ceed4f56 from what I gather no college football fan was complaining about the length of the football games.....I think the money peeps are trying to make more money

@2a44975b that’s good enough. Like I said, I don’t like it. It totally ruins the excitement of teams trying to make a comeback if they have momentum. Then again, the NCAA has never been known for being sensible.
@ceed4f56 college football is in talks to break away from the ncaa for a lot of reasons....or at least a certain about of teams are trying to
@ceed4f56 the officals determine if a player was or wasn't in bounds and I have a feeling that call should've been reviewed by CU
