Will attend a Nebraska rules meeting Thursday night. I anticipate that the "chop" (basketball) mechanic will cause problems for crews. You know that some teams will have an assistant coach watching the count. In game situations where one team is trying to use up time, (i.e., use most of the 25 second count before snapping the ball), this is going to be interesting, to say the least.
According to one post, Iowa isn't going to use a mechanic for this. Perhaps that makes the most sense of all.

Yup.

This will be great in that 48-0 game where we like to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the play clock out a little bit. I guess we can always start counting at 23 seconds instead of 20
