Gamecock NCAA cuts b LARRY WILLIAMS Sports Editor Before you all head to Athens for Carolina's opener against the Georgia Bulldogs, keep in mind that there have been several rule changes by the NCAA which will be implemented this season. Most are minor, and mavbe one or two carry any significance at all. If s probably just a message from the NCAA rules committee that life is pretty dang rough in the Bahamas. Oh, by the way, playoff, anyone? Pylons Moved Back... Pylons at the intersection of the end line and inbounds lines ("hash marks") have been moved back three feet behind the end line. Big deal. Jerseys? Home teams may wear white jerseys when the teams have mutually agreed before the season. Don't be too surprised if the T)awgs come out in white and Carolina enters clad in garnet... I wouldn't bet on it, though. Recoveries/Ball Spotting? The ball will be awarded to Team B at the spot where it was recovered after a Team B player recovers a forward or backward 1 ' k 1 IiTil j ',h\ I 11 d 'J 4111 ! 11 7.11* OfferisS :: Sl^BIISKiyliSIHSr RB Stanley Pritchett, Duce FB RegQle AlelandellJasc WR Darrell Nicklow, Corey Wt JameslBexter, Jaroar SG Luther Dixon, Patrick C HI PauflBeckwith, Ed Hrut TG Travis Whitfield, Delvin TE James Cummings, Tre PK Reed Morton, Steve Fl arolina aplains inistries Ministry ind /Methodists ike a difference >per 5:30 pm iy 5:30 pm rogram ^ ffej eet 799-7363 More enter pr UL Upill 5pm y - Information nity Outreach es '99-5870 f Nursing) jjPj^S Thursday, August 24, 1995 ack on celeb pass, fumble, scrimmage kick or free kick between his five-yard line and the goal line and his momentum carries him into the end zone, where the ball is declared dead in Team Fs possession or it goes out of bounds. The ball will be spot ted inside the five-yard line and will not be a touchback Lefs say Georgia's Mike Bobo lofts a long pass to the end zone and USC's Terry Cousin picks it off at the three yard line. Cousin's momentum carries him into the end-zone. Last year, this would have been a touchback. With the new rule change, it would be Carolina's ball at the three yard line. Offsides Changes? Defensive players will be penalized five yards for entering the neutral zone and causing an offensive lineman to immediately move after the ball is ready for play and before the span. This is pretty much cut *n' dry, folks. RoughingTlunning Into KickerRunning into or roughing the kicker or holder is not a foul if the contact results from an illegal block by the offense. When, may I ask, was this a foul? WBRW WBBSKKKK i Staley DT Quinn Br fi P Bridges DE Robert S Sarth MLB Hank C 11111? LO& Bori?

The try is mandatory after a touchdown on the final play of the game unless the team behind in the score leaves the field. Folks, this is what the NCAA rulemakers get paid the big bucks for. Stopping the Clock?A player may legally throw the ball to the ground to stop the clock if the ball has not touched the ground after the snap. And all along I thought it was just coincidence that this always occurred in the pros but never in college football. Starting the Clock- The clock will be started on the snap after a delay foul by a team in a scrimmage-kick formation. Excuse me? Removal of Helmets Now Penalized... Players or replaced players commit unsportsmanlike conduct if they remove their helmets before they reach the team area Exceptions; During team, media or injury timeouts or for equipment adjustment. This is ridiculous. You cannot assume that every time a player takes his helmet off that it is for taunting purposes. Next, they'll ban | HHfiB || BBS!

The rules committee also approved the Special Events Committee's request to allow the use of the NCAA tiebreaker system in postseason, bowl games. If the score is tied after four quarters, each team will have one possession at the opponents' 25 yard line with an opportunity to score. A defensive score on the first possession will end the game. This is probably the only worthwhile rule change. They finally figured that, in a National Championship, a tie doesn't declare a National Champion. Maybe this will lead to them also realizing that the present day Bowl "system" doesn't establish a clear-cut champion, either.
