Episode Details

The Cover 3 crew talks rule changes, position battles, NCAA Football video game and more. The show begins with a deep dive into the four major rule proposals being considered by the NCAA, including a running clock after first downs but also a running clock after incompletions (1:30). The conversation turns to why college football's power brokers are interested in these changes (4:00) and how college football looks if some, or all of these rules are put in place (14:00). Then, our rule change ideas (27:10) and why the targeting rule is not being considered for revision (30:27). Finally, addressing questions from the Big Ol' Bag of Mail and the live audience on our favorite QB-OC combos (37:00), position battles to know (44:23) and the return of the NCAA Football video game (57:33).
