Yeah, the two line pass was a huge one. Remember when the teams would just bog down the game by running a neutral zone trap?
The shot clock removed an advantage that less talented teams had over superior talent, but then the 3 pt shot made the playing field more level in college and below.
Great calls on the two baseball changes.

It opened up the game and yes, fewer young men died in part because of the forward pass.

And people still die, so the risk of death was not removed

It was DRASTICALLY reduced, due in part to opening the game up.

College football was almost made illegal by Congress due to the number of fatalities in the sport. The forward pass opened up the game and made it far less dangerous to play.
It was a big deal. Football might not even exist without the forward pass.

Or college rugby would be the big sport, as that sport also evolved around the same time.
