Speeding up the game
If they wanted to speed up the game, just keep the clock rolling on first downs by A.
You wouldn't have to change any other rules or make any other exceptions and you'd shave far more real time off a game than will happen with this new convoluted rule.
I can't wait to hear Musberger and Danielson this year the first time were up against the end of the 2nd or 4th quarters and the clock runs after B takes over when the previous play was an incomplete pass by A or a run out of bounds by either team -
Musberger - "Why is the clock running???!!! None of the officials can see it!!! It was an incomplete pass on 4th down!!!! It should start on the snap!!! Ohio State was cheated out of 24 seconds!!!!!!"
Danielson - "That's really poor officiating! These guys have really messed up!!"
