If I never hear "The New Alabama" again...
We are Georgia.
We are not Forrest Gump University.
Players go to Alabama because they are too stúpid to get in or do the academics at UGA.
A big shout out to Jermaine Burton who might be the exception. Dude, hope you had a nice time over there. We all do stúpid stuff sometimes.
Go, Dawgs!
What are college rules for stopping the clock? Does it stop for out of bounds only in the last so many minutes? Dropped passes? Same question. I've noticed what seemed to be running clocks before. Any rules wonks out there?
I'm not a rule wonk, but the clock stops when a player carrying the ball goes out of bounds. When the player is downed within the field of play, the clock doesn't stop unless there is another reason to stop the clock such as a first down.
Go, Dawgs!
Rule changed several years ago (don't know exactly when) but only stops for out of bounds plays in final two minutes of each half.
Actually rule change occurred in 2008.
Prior to 2008, clock stopped for every out of bounds play regardless of time in the game.
That pretty much explains the apparent "running clock" that I and others have noticed. Thanks for the clarification. Guess I was too used to NFL rules. Wonder what the reasoning was behind the change.
My guess is a quicker game to fit in more $$commercials.
If I recall correctly, (and ther eis no guarantee of that), it was part efforts to speed games up for television slots. Ithin they also changed the rules on when the clock starts again after a stoppage. You might have noticed the TV slots changed at some point yearss ago to 3 hours and it seemed like more games were bleeding into the next ones. I think they have relaxed that a bit over the years.
She's back for all who celebrate.
Don't want to spoil the end but man this one got me good
Me too
Oh, wow…..
This.
There is a mercy rule where they shorten the quarters to 12 minutes. It's not automatic, the coaches have to agree to it. I think we did that against Samford.
I think there is just no way any mercy rule is invoked in the NCG. Among other things, too much ad revenue involved.
