Makes sense, as you’ve probably seen, multiple players will be going for a loose ball and there’s one guy that uses that opportunity to blow someone up. It’s a cheap hit on a player who’s focused on the loose ball. Ear holing someone for the sole purpose of trying to hurt them is no longer part of the game.

After the ball is spotted*, so the defense will now just stay down if we make a big play and they want a timeout to recover.

Personally, I don’t think so. Apparently it was an unwritten form of a fair catch before. Shane Beamer tried to play in the gray area in last year’s Citrus Bowl. Led to some words from Illinois’ Bret Bielema.

I don't have a problem with it being a rule, I just think whether or not a player is making a T is going to be up for debate.

This is my favorite
• All forms of gun violence are not permitted and simulating the firing of a weapon is an automatic unsportsmanlike foul. This year, if a player simulates the act of brandishing a weapon, it is considered an unsportsmanlike act.

Wish we would have had that rule when Guarantano was here - made my stomach churn every time he did that fake bow and arrow routine...I mean he did it for a first down, touchdown. pass reception...anything.

Yeha it would have hurt us with penalty yards, but it would have got him to quit doing it...

Just means a defensive player needs to remember to stay on the ground after the play to allow substitutions and reset the D without penalty.
