I would *strongly* argue against the two line offsides and line-change offsides rules. The pros have considered abolishing the two-line offsides to open up the game and make it more exciting. I see *no* advantage to installing this to the college game. Instinctively I'm not crazy about the new checking rules -- I share other's endorsement of tougher hitting from behind penalties as an alternative -- but at least there seems to be some rationale to adopting this. I'd keep an open mind on this despite being knee-jerk reflexively against it.
