College football tries speed-up rules

Posted Aug 29, 2008
If a North Carolina wide receiver catches a pass of 50 yards or more this season, left guard Kyle Jolly said recently, "he'd better score." Not just because the 6-foot-6, 300-pound junior wants to see those six points immediately on the scoreboard. But because he doesn't relish the new alternative: racing up the field before the new 40-second play clock expires. (Raleigh News & Observer)
