Dont forget the new kickoff rule in NCAA

Brock Landers · 08-13-12, 02:57 PM

Impossible to factor in till we see some games played
I think the thought was NFL games would have lower scoring after the kick off changes last year and I think the change was pretty negligible

this will have an effect on totals only................

Way more effect on totals but culd hurt teams with explosive return guys

touchback at the 25 is weird, so other touchbacks are still the 20 though then?

other touch backs? How many versions of a touch back are you considering? I only know of one touch back. NFL is 20 and NCAA is 25 according to ESPN.

Good question then. I just assumed they were making all touch backs 25 yards from here on out.

"The NCAA clarified Friday that touchback rule of moving the ball to the 25 only applies to kickoffs. In other instances of a touchback, the ball will be placed on the 20." source USA today

Why even play football then?

Just go ahead and make it flag football. Wouldn't want anyone hitting each other.

Great question.

I agree the touchback at 25 on kickoffs is incredibly stupid, wants to give coaches iincentive to tell return men to take a knee on anything in the endzone

M.W. · 08-14-12, 02:03 PM

...while at the same time giving the kicking team an incentive to kick it short of the end zone. Brilliant.

Having been playing a lot of NCAA '13 on the Xbox I'm fairly confident the effects will be minimal...
