That's the way it should be.

Kickoffs from the 30---that would have been trouble last year.

At least we shouldn't hear the "our kicker didn't blast it through the endzone" excuse anymore for horrendous coverage.

The time rule change last year is the reason the suckeyes lost the championship game to Meyer!!!!!

Will we now hear, "If they wouldn't have changed the rules" as the excuse of the day?

Yeah, but if we suck again next year, that means the pain will last longer.

Go Falcons. Don't Suck.

Thank goodness. I hated the new timing rules.

Now they just need to get rid of replay and my game will be back.

The periodic 10-15 minute pauses for the Keystone Kops in the booth to make a determination that would take a sentient person about 20 seconds after seeing the TV replay 2-3 times are beyond annoying.

The coaches must like it because it gives their players extra rest during the games.

How many teams in college football could previously reach the endzone from the 35? College coaches have to hate this rule.
