During the kick, time ran out and on the next play, it was basically just an onside squiber to one of the up men, easily covered basically giving Cal Davis no chance to win the game with either a return or a quick recovery, fair catch and then a hail mary.

Great morals being taught by that coach.

It is easily fixed. Just make off-sides on the kick-off like a false start on offense. Blow it dead right away, penalize and kick again. No time comes off and teams would get no advantage from doing it.

Hopefully, the actions of Wisconsin will cause the NCAA to make the offsides (encroachment) the same as FED so that the play is shut down immediately and no time is run off.

I doubt it, but hopefully, they will revert to the previous timing rule and not start the darn clock until it's touched by team-B on a free kick.

We can't have this problem arise in Canada. After the 3 minute warning, any penalty app has the clock start on the snap. No messing with the clock in our game.
