The NCAA rules state: "Any time during the game, the playing time of any remaining period or periods and the intermission between halves may be shortened by mutual agreement of the opposing head coaches and the referee."

Guess they want to get to those post-game Capri Suns ASAP.

^ This!

[Farmer Brown 2,464]

I wish they had got the punt off. I would like to see Brown.

[Bro Johnny Mac 1,473]

Has his 10 minute quarter thing always been a rule? Where have I been?

I wonder when that went into effect

[Auburn Tiger 1,415]

Never in my life have I seen a shortened second half. War Eagle!

[roe4christ 980]

So, they can shorten it to 5 minutes if they want to?  This is going to be bad

I've never seen a college game shortened.

I remember Dye agreeing to not stopping the clock.

I remember this. I think it was 88 against Pacific maybe. 

[yngwie1995 2,410]

I wanted to see Hank and others get as much work as possible in the second half.

College football is fully back, which means we will again see plenty of those wonderful and bizarre moments that fill up the bingo card every season. In Thursday's Stephen F. Austin game, we already got something fans will hardly be able to believe. 

Stephen F. Austin faced off against NAIA opponent North American University, who they walloped 70 to 0 in the first half. The beating was so bad that the game was reduced to two brief five-minute quarters for the second half. 

 

What? That's right; a college football game featured a mid-game clock change to essentially invoke a mercy ending for North American University.
