Remember Last Year's Rule Changes (Erik Scheponik)
Just a little reminder to all cappers when doing your preseason and early season college football handicapping… Last year’s rule changes decreased the number of plays in college football by nearly 14 plays per game. This obviously would decrease team and individual player yards per game statistics greatly, especially when comparing to previous years. A better idea when capping last season is to use yards per play (if some of you sharpies don’t already!)
It is also very important to note that two of the rules from last season are reverting back to the rule from previous years, with others being added in an attempt to keep total game time as short as last season, but keep the same average number of plays as previous seasons. It will be interesting to watch early on, but my estimate is that about 75% (but not all) of last years “lost” plays will be restored this season. Very important for totals players, and also for those who like to lay big points as the more plays give the more talented team more chances to stretch a lead.
