Title: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: ricky023 on April 23, 2019, 04:50:20 PM https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ncaa-approves-changes-to-targeting-overtime-rules-ahead-of-2019-college-football-season/
I wonder if this will help the teams or hinder there playing time more? RTR! Title: Re: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: Chechem on April 23, 2019, 05:00:33 PM NCAA had made a tweak to college football's overtime rules. If a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will begin to run alternating two-point plays rather than offensive possessions starting at the 25-yard line. This was done to limit the number of plays run overall.
WOW! ??? ???

Hey, here's an idea, let's make college OT periods even MORE bizarre. :facepalm: Title: Re: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: ricky023 on April 23, 2019, 06:14:24 PM Well when I read this I thought it draw interest cause it seems crazy.

I like my idea better. Starting with the 3rd overtime, the team with possession of the football second cannot just kick a PAT and tie the game, they have to go for 2. Title: Re: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: McBaman on April 23, 2019, 06:54:06 PM I don't see how these changes solve much. The OT changes will reduce the number of plays run in OT periods, but takes something out of the end of the game. Seems to me that the committee just "punted."

Starting with the 3rd overtime, the team with possession of the football second cannot just kick a PAT and tie the game, they have to go for 2. The 3rd overtime rule now requires both teams to go for two on the PAT. Title: Re: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: Catch Prothro on April 24, 2019, 06:47:47 AM That's just silly. I like my idea better. Starting with the 3rd overtime, the team with possession of the football second cannot just kick a PAT and tie the game, they have to go for 2. The 3rd overtime rule now requires both teams to go for two on the PAT. The team that goes on defense first gets an advantage of knowing the other team's score, which is why whoever wins the coin toss always picks defense. I think there should only be 3 OTs. That's more than enough. If the game is still tied after OT3, just call it a tie, except in championship games. My proposal is: After playing through two series in college OT, the team that has to go first in the third OT should be given an option of kicking a PAT or going for two if they score a TD. The team that goes second should be required to go for two. This takes away the coin toss advantage when the game gets to OT3, and gives some relevance to the coin toss decision.

Nothing wrong with the way it is. Eventually one side wins. Title: Re: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: ricky023 on April 24, 2019, 01:02:10 PM I agree with SC. RTR!

Don't care how, just play it out until one team wins... Title: Re: NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college footbal Post by: Catch Prothro on April 24, 2019, 06:44:28 PM Quote I'm not advocating the repeal of overtime, [but] if, as coaches are wont to preach, special teams are fully one-third of the game, as important as offense and defense, then why are they relegated to the bench in the 61st minute? http://www.espn.com/college-football/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=5334960College football euthanized the tie in the 1995 postseason... the NCAA Football Rules Committee followed suit for the 1996 regular season. The tie disappeared as if autumn Saturdays had turned into Casual Fridays. The tie is gone, and no one is advocating for its return. But it shouldn't be dismissed as college football's version of polio, a pox eradicated by crusading officials who saved the game. Ties brought a different kind of strategy to the field. Ties brought controversy. They may have ended games, but they started debates that endure to this day. You want to get an argument restarted? Wander over to a tailgate outside Notre Dame Stadium and criticize Ara Parseghian for the 10-10 tie with Michigan State that secured the Irish the 1966 national championship. Or ask a Syracuse fan how he feels about Auburn coach Pat Dye's decision to kick the field goal that tied the Orange 16-16 with :04 to play in the 1988 Sugar Bowl. Those debates may be vibrant, but they also are old. That well has dried up. Before the details of those ties are lost, their significance relegated to history, here's a look at the 10 biggest ties in the history of the game.

W-L either way. RTR!
