LSU. The Gamecocks entered the game
as underdogs and seemed to outplay the
Tigers in every aspect of the game. The
final score was 20-20. The new system
will eliminate similar incidents from
occurring.
Another important change deals with
adding the concept of "catchability" to
the definition of intentional grounding.
The new definition.
rm i n> i r n
ine new aennmon is as ionows: 11,
to save loss of yardage, a pass is
intentionally thrown where no eligible
Team A player has a reasonable
opportunity to catch it When in question,
the official will rule that the Team A
player has a reasonable opportunity to
catch the pass.
White jersey definitions have also
been altered, with a white jersey being
one with only contrasting numbers,
player's name, school name, conference
insignia, mascot, game insignia, memorial
insignia or the American flag attached.
Stripes can be placed on sleeves with
a 1-inch maximum border around the
collar and cuffs.
Number colors also must now be in
sharp contrast to the white jersey.
A helmet "dead ball" rule has also
been added. It says that when a ball
carrier's helmet comes entirely off, the
play will be blown dead and marked at
that spot.
"It's strictly a safety precaution,"
Scott said of the new rule. "Well definitely
use our four-buckle chin straps to help
keep those head gears on."
Rules about who can wear towels
and towel-size were also changed. Towels
may now only be worn by the following
players: (l)One white towel of any size
may be worn by an interior offensive
linomnn nnH (9.} a 4-hv-19-inr>Vi wViito
towel may be worn at the front belt by
one offensive backfield player.

The 1996 college football
season will feature several
rule changes. The biggest
difference this year will be ^
the addition of a tiebreaker.! ^ss
five-yard penalty for an illegal delay, ^
and will now be a 15 yard penalty for to ev
unsportsmanlike conduct. jf y0
Also, players who participate in a stud
down with shoe cleats in excess of one- ticki
half inch in length will be disqualified
for the remainder of the game as well ^
as the entire next game.
The next game disqualification applies ]
to postseason contests and can carry the <
over from one season to the next. spoi
Changes have also been made to chai
i-i ?l; V I i . a ,
scrimmage kicks, wmcn mciuaes punts, " ?v
field goals, and extra points. . ^
When the offensive team is in a
i r neec
scrimmage kick formation, no defensive get 1
player may initiate contact with the park
snapper until one second after the ball ever
is snapped. This penalty results in 15 *
yards and an automatic first down. ?n e
Unsportsmanlike acts by any
uniformed squad member will now count y0U>
towards the two necessary for ejection, with
Previously, only acts committed by go 01
the 22 players involved in the down Fl?r
counted toward the two foul limit. 'j
Coach Scott is looking forward to the
upcoming season with the changes,
although he feels they aren't as big as j^ori
in the past. Aug
"There's not a whole lot of change won'
this year outside of the tiebreaker rule,"
Scott said. "Usually we have changes
that would have more of an impact than
this year's."
With the changes in the rule books,
especially with the addition of the NCAA's
tiebreaker system, the 1996 college
football season promises to be an exciting
one.
