NCAA moves kickoffs from the 30yd line to the 35yd line. There's hope for touchbacks!

I thought the same thing!
Thank goodness, that is a plus going into next season.

Seems as though I remember many a KOs only to the 15 yard line----Before all KOs I ask the fans around what yard line the ball will travel to-----Guesses are usually from the 10-15 yard line-----When the wind is not in a favorable direction I shudder----When in a favorable direction I shudder but not as much!!! Seriously this has really hurt us in the past as ya'll know and I really hope we can overcome it this year!!!!
So we'll get it inside the 15 now? :-)
I don't like the fact that they have moved touchbacks to the 25 yd line now though.....there goes the extra 5 yards.
There is not another team in the country that benefits from this rule change more then UL
Our K.O man's leg just got 5 yards stronger over night.
I agree. That's stupid. If the point is moving the kickoff up to avoid the high speed collisions on returns, then why take away the incentive to kick it in the end zone for a touchback? That makes no sense. Now you will see a bunch of higher kicks that land inside the 5-10 yard line and just as many collisions on returns. What's the point???
Mostly defensive guys writing the rules to get a longer field to defend!!!!!!! Now you got a power guy to kick a TB or a skilled sky kicker to keep them bottled up---and then you've got the Cajuns!!! Maybe we will see more of the aforementioned latter!!!!!
