Pet peeve - I hate how much time you can kneel out

Happened in a couple of the bowls today; not the first time it’s bothered me. You shouldn’t be able to take a knee and run out 2 minutes.

Easy solution is for the play clock to only reset to :25.

Other than you’d completely nerf offenses or there’d be 25 delays of game, sure

Why is that a problem, you had 3 quarters to make something happen to win the game

Should have been more clear - :25sec clock only in this particular situation. So when a team with the lead possesses the ball under 2:00.

Or maybe have it only apply to kneel-downs, making the offense run actual plays

I like that CFL rules for this - stop the clock after every play in the last 2 min

maybe do something to actually win the game when you have the ball.

This sounds like a rant a 10 year old getting beat in madden online would go on.

I’m saying it as an objective observer - I have no emotional stake in WKU/USM or UNLV/Ohio.

I just don’t like how when the team with the lead has the ball and the trailing team has no timeouts the last 2 whole minutes of the 60 minute clock lose all excitement.

Arena league had the rule that under 2 minutes (may have been 1 minute for them) the clock stops on plays that result in loss of yards

No kneel downs, and you can’t just continue to run up the gut either

I don't like it either. As a fan I feel cheated out of football.
