Like Ryan Day, I find myself more and more aghast with college football’s new clock stoppage rules.
Following Ohio State’s 35-7 victory against Youngstown State Saturday, Day was perturbed the Buckeyes had run only 60 plays offensively and had nine possessions (not counting a running play with 25 seconds left), limiting the team’s scoring chances.
Unlike Ohio State’s head coach, though, the angst from yours truly surrounding the rule created to intentionally shorten games in terms of plays run has nothing to do with a desire to give an offense more opportunities to inflate its point totals.
