I still want Duke Johnson taking it up the field even if he's 5 yards deep in the end zone.

So what about the Gunners on the outside? They are more than 5 yards away.

So if you are a OLineman / DLineman and your helmet gets knocked off you are supposed to just take a knee?

For the first one, I am assuming they meant 5 yards from the line of scrimmage of the ball.

The second, they are going to be using some better buttons on helmets soon.

 

[Cane Empire]

Just like the gov - more rules and regulations = lower quality of game

 

[CanesAreAble]

A touchback placed on the 25???

Tell me this is fake.

lol I got the image of 10 guys all huddled around the ball while the kicker boots it off

I know. So the ACC will start at the 25 but other conferences will be at the 20? Are we just going to start having each conference make up their own rules of the game? How about in the big 10 you get 4 points for a field goal? Sec gets an extra down.

 

[TheU1991]

tarded. the lot of it, just straight tarded.

 

[Gennaker Cane]

These rules re: touchbacks and kickorrs are pretty much the same as what the NFL is doing, aren't they?

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Makes absolutely no sense. How can something like the placement of the ball after a touchback NOT be a uniform rule across all of college football? What happens when you play a team out of conference?

It would be like the Eastern conference using a 30 second shot clock in the NBA.

This can't be true....has this been confirmed? If so the NCAA is turning into a bigger joke by the day.

 

[RickinCanesville]

The rule about within 5 yards on kickoffs is similar to the rule for a regular scrimmage play. It basically prevents someone from easing off the sideline just before the kickoff and not be accounted for.

Pretty sure these rules are to reduce violent collisions by slowing down the running start you can get on a kickoff, and making it slightly easier to get a touchback.

Starting at the 25 is the "inducement" to not kick a touchback every time.

 

[Chicken_N_Roffles]

Lol most of these are new NCAA rules, not ACC rules.

I love this rule. I am sick of players going for style with one strap on and their helmet comes off 10 times a game.
