For all of our lives in college football we've been used to the referee marking the ball ready for play and starting the 25 second clock on every single play. For the first time in the history of college football, that's not going to be the case most of the time.

Is Mr. Redding prone to exaggeration? The history of college football extands back before our lifetimes, and it wasn't always administered as above.

Go back far enough, and the ref didn't even make the ball RFP!
