[Husker] 2008 rule changes

[Brown, Laura (LLU)]

I actually like the idea for one main reason, I hate when the end of my
game gets turned off to go to the next game and if the games were
consistently shorter there would be less chance of that occurring.
Living on the west coast the TV Gods can't imagine anybody being
interested in how a NU game ends.  :)

I'd love to have someone explain to me why the NCAA and the NFL are so
bent
on shortening games.  I don't know many fans that are excited to see
games
shortened.

I know it's probably all driven by T.V. $$ because they want to squeeze
more
games in a day, but...

No Horse-collar is a good rule and I'm glad they put that in.

looks like some rule changes are in place for 2008.

no more horse-collar tackles.

Also, a 40 second play clock will be implemented much of the time,
except
for most 'administrative' stoppages, and additional clock tweaks...

here's a video that explains it.
