Oklahoma grid coach explains new rules change
University of Oklahoma coach Lewie Hardage explains the 1934 rule allowing the first incomplete pass over the goal line to count as a down not a touchback, the removal of the five yard penalty on subsequent incompletions, and a smaller ball to speed play and improve kicking and passing. He notes benefits for kickoff punts and potential quick kick fakes.
