Clock Rules Go Back In Time

Thank goodness.

Last year was fun and all, but I couldn't be more thrilled the NCAA decided to revert back to the old clock rules, namely stopping the clock on possession changes and when a kickoff is caught rather than kicked.

Neither of these ruined the game, but too many fans (me included) saw this as a ridiculous way to speed up the game. Fans don't want to speed up the game.

The ball is also going to be kicked off from the 30-yard line, five yards back from last year, to encourage more lengthy returns. I like that too.
