As OSU coach Mike Gundy says he wants to get back to focusing on the running game more, new rules in college football give more game-control advantages to rushing the football.
In April, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a rule change that will allow the clock to run after first downs in all divisions except Division III. This is a rule that the NFL has already adopted.
At Big 12 Media Days, Gundy said many of his earlier teams put more emphasis on the run and often utilized three backs, and he added that he plans to transition back to more rushing.
