Good. That should help fast tempo teams keep up their pace. And, teams that fake injuries to lose more often, than they already have.

Good.

Its a shift teams will have to adjust to. You cant be slow on defense and then when you have the ball run fast tempo. Its another adjustment all of college football will have to make. School, team, ncaa, refs. Im sure before next season there will be rules made for penalties.

Fines? Should be immediate penalties on the field!

I'm all for this. I'm tired of it. (yes I fully acknowledge Ole Miss is a pathetic offender).

Do you think it would be beneficial to give each team one more timeout per half? The game is much faster than it used to be, and there's times when those big old linemen just need to catch their breath.

It's about time as the fakes have gotten out of hand and now they don't even try to hide that it's a fake injury. I still think they need to sit out a certain # of plays or until the next change if possession. Funny that the video shown was the Bama guy against UT. Guess it's probably been the worst fake of the year.
