NCAA Implements New Rule: Clock to Run After First Downs in College Football
Starting in the 2023 college football season, the game clock will no longer stop on all first downs, which is expected to reduce the number of plays by an average of seven per game. This rule change will benefit teams like Michigan, which like to shorten the game and control the time of possession. Michigan's "ground and pound" style of offense, which highlights the running game, will be more productive with the new rule change.
