Lol Urban didn't want Braxton to further embarrass himself. Concedes game with 2 TOs left on Clemson's 2nd down kneel.

Athletic QBs seem to be throwing really key INTs in these bowl games.

Look out, FSU. And Auburn.

Remember though, Marshall doesn't throw because he can't #narratives
 
I had never heard of De La Soul until I saw that feature on Auburn's Tre Mason just now. Apparently they have been around forever.
 
I didn't know that Jameis Winston played baseball for FSU as well.
 
So if it's normally said that the SEC runner-up is the real #2.....
 
Red McCombs isn't happy with the Charlie Strong hire. Intentionally or unintentionally, he also comes off racist.

Well Texas screwed themselves with the drama of the season. 2 things. Jimmy Sexton is a brilliant agent and Texas didn't get the coach they wanted.

Strong could be a great head coach in the future, but he is like Tommy Tuberville and loses the one game that he shouldn't. Texas wanted a more recognized coach, but no one wanted to be subjected to the potential drama.
 
NCAA proposes rule changes for targeting, defensive substitutions
In 2013, the first year of the rule, if a player was called for targeting, there was a 15-yard penalty and the player would be ejected from the game. Officials could then review the play, and after watching the replay, overrule the ejection of the player. No matter what happened, though, the 15-yard penalty would still apply.

If one of the rules changes proposed by the NCAA Football Rules Committee is approved, that will no longer be the case.

The proposed rule change would allow officials to not only negate the ejection, but the 15-yard penalty as well. The 15-yard penalty would stand, however, if it's committed along with another personal foul. For instance, if a defensive player made contact with a quarterback's head during a sack, even if the player is not ejected, the 15 yards would still apply for roughing the passer.

So, essentially, the NCAA proposes to show a little common sense when it comes to targeting next season. It never seemed all that logical that the 15-yard penalty would stand last season after officials reviewed the play and saw they got the call wrong.

The committee has recommended a change what will allow defenses to substitute players within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock, though not in the final two minutes of a half. Should an offense snap the ball before the play clock reaches 29 seconds, the offense will be called for a 5-yard delay of game.

“This rules change is being made to enhance student-athlete safety by guaranteeing a small window for both teams to substitute,” said Air Force coach Troy Calhoun, who also chairs the Rule Committee. “As the average number of plays per game has increased, this issue has been discussed with greater frequency by the committee in recent years and we felt like it was time to act in the interests of protecting our student-athletes.”

In other words, the hurry up offenses that have spread throughout the game at places like Oregon and Baylor won't be able to move as quickly.

The targeting one makes absolute sense to me. I kept wondering last season why players would have their ejections overturned but the penalty stood. As for the defensive sub rule, I dunno - sounds simply like an effort to penalize hurry-up offenses when it seems to me the onus should be on teams adapting their defenses accordingly. The offensive team is breaking no rules in snapping the play quickly once the ball is set. And even if there was a way to prove that not allowing defensive subs was detrimental to players' health, they've got to come up with a better way to call it than to name it a delay-of-game penalty.
