“If you have a long play now, what I would say is I think Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce should run up and snap the ball to each

taking the snap. Snap the ball and clock it. It’s only a five-yard

but if it does, "you save approximately 10 to 15 seconds.

Took advantage of the rule but now ncaa removed it
