There are a few tweaks that fans may or may not notice when it comes to timing in college football in 2023.  Big Ten football coordinator of officials Bill Corollo (kuh-ROH-loh) says there are not any major rule changes this season, other than some minor timing tweaks to speed the game up

Corollo says there is another tweak to keep the game moving along, especially at the end of games

Corollo says the most noticable tweak will come when a college team makes a first down, where in the past the clock stopped to move the chains

Corollo says officials will have to be quick on moving the chains with the clock now running after first downs

In addition, in the rare occurence that an untimed down is needed to end the first or third quarters, that play will now simply begin the following quarter with a timed down.  Teams will no longer be allowed to take back-to-back timeouts during games, either. The idea for all the tweaks is to speed up the game.  There are no major rules changes to the college game this year.
