One thing struck me about the running clock rules, and this doesn't have to do directly with that. but

I was getting annoyed when UTM would be like third and long on a running game clock, bleed the play clock down, and then get a false start or other pre-snap penalty. When that happened, then the game clock starts running again with a new 25 second play clock.

It occurred to me, though this would be bad sportsmanship, if you had, say, a 3 score lead with 10 minutes left, you could theoretically be on offense and just keep doing that over and over and over until you were basically at the end of the game.

Not sure if the clock rules change with less than 2 minutes left, but even then, it would be beneficial.

Just a random thought I had when I was getting annoyed at how fast the game was moving, even though this in particular isn't a new rule, I don't believe.
