Some football updates for your viewing pleasure
Sep. 21, 2008First, if you want to get Urban Meyer mad, talk about the new clock rules. The new rules have significantly reduced the number of plays a team can run, as evident in UF running less than 50 -plays against Tennessee-a game the Gators dominated. The new rules cause the clock to always be reset after a play, barring a timeout. And when teams have 40 seconds, instead of 25, to get a play off, there's less plays that run. Meyer called the new rules "awful."
