[Husker] Delay of Game

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

There were a fair number of rule changes, designed to shorten the time it 
takes to play a game, no doubt influenced by TV. 

http://football.refs.org/rules/NCAA2007pr.html

Good explanation of them above. 

That fifth rule? I'm guessing that means the refs are putting the ball 
into play and starting the play clock faster than before. Doesn't say 
that, but.... it sured seemed like it Saturday.
