MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Tweaks, changes, and adjustments are all staples of off-season programs for football teams around the country.
And those football "teams" include the NCAA Football Rules Committee, who have announced a plethora of updates to the existing rulebook ahead of the 2021 season.
With major changes to rules concerning targeting penalties, wedge blocking, and number sharing have been implemented in the past couple of the seasons, this year's roundup of changes can better be described as tweaks to existing rules and procedures. The most major of the rule changes, after all, only comes into consideration in the event of a game going into double overtime.
