If you're going to stop rushing and drop everyone you can't have guys wide open every play

I wonder why guys catch the kick off? That dude was perilously close to the goal line.

I still don’t understand why the two line of scrimmage penalties with a running clock gave free time outs. No run off in college? Seems like a loophole.

Regardless, Buffaloes were favored by 23. Bettors who took the points are thrilled.

It’s inside of 1 minute. The first one happened at 1:13. They did run the clock when the ball was spotted the first time as it was snapped around 1:08 or 1:07. I think the refs messed up the second time.

It does cost 5 yards, so not exactly free. Still seems like a problem, but I don't watch enough to say why not.
Yeah. If you think about it, Buffs actually gained 108 yards on the drive. Still, I would rather have the down instead of spiking the ball, even if it costs 5 yards.
