Time to talk time

One offseason subject I have yet to delve into is the NCAA's new play clock. College football is moving to an NFL style 40-second clock. As a reminder, here is the rule:

--Following a play that goes out of bounds, the game clock will start on the referee’s signal and not on the snap, with the exception of the last two minutes of each half.
--The play clock will be set to 40 seconds and will start when the ball becomes dead on the previous play. A 25-second clock that will begin on the referee’s signal will be used after a penalty administration, measurement, change of possession and timeouts.

Good news for BC: Our offense is fairly uptempo and should not have a problem adjusting. I'd be slightly worried if we were learning a new offense, but Crane has worked in Logan's scheme and should be able to adjust. The unknown is how much Crane will audible or make calls directly at the line. He won't have the same time Ryan did to survey the field pre-snap. Regardless of his flexibility, the offense will not impacted in a negative way.

Bad news for BC: Our defense will have to adjust. Spaz likes rotations and substitutions. The new rules shorten the time players have to get on and off the field. Look for teams to go no huddle when they feel BC has the wrong people on the field.

But considering Jags and Logan have used NFL clocks previously in their careers, this should not be an issue.
