An underrated change in the rules is a huge reason why our current roster construction is so important. Running the ball and defense.
Eliminating the clock stoppage after first downs has resulted in fewer plays/possessions per team, making each possession more important and benefiting the defense. There's less of a benefit to sling it around without having to worry about defense. Looking at you, Lincoln Riley. It makes a defensive touchdown worth that much more than an offensive touchdown -- it was the big backbreaker for OSU in our game.
I don't think we'll ever see a Joe Burrow-type season again because of these clock rules. Maybe if they institute clock stoppages for going out of bounds.
I think that could've affected Ryan Day's play-calling and feel for the game, since he's been out of it for so long. Instinctually, he probably thought he had more time than he did when he was calling the offense.
