  Message Not Read  Late substitution
   Posted: 9/23/2022 10:28:03 AM 
I've noticed in CFB games this season that an official will stand over center until the defense has been allowed to sub in players after the offense has subbed in players. And I've started to notice that the subs on D aren't sprinting out but instead are leisurely strolling out to their position.

My question then is: what's to prevent the D to use up all/most of the play clock when subbing in after the O has subbed in thus creating a delay of game penalty on the O?

I saw that happen in a game last year. That rule needs to be changed so that the defense can be called for delay of game if they don't make a reasonable effort to get off the field. Of course, if the offense makes a change with under ten on the play clock, they run the risk.

A couple years ago I saw a play that also begs for a rule change, although it doesn't happen nearly as often as late substitution. A kickoff went near the sidelines inside the ten and the return man slid out of bounds going after it. As he was lying on his stomach out of bounds, he reached into the field of play and pulled the ball out of bounds. It probably wouldn't have gone out on its own. But because the return man was out of bounds, the kick was ruled out of bounds and the ball was placed on the 35. I think it's the only time I've seen that happen, but it's really not fair to the kicking team.

If the D is not ready, the Referee will bump the play clock up to :25 after it has went so low, unless the offense pulls a late substitution then that is on the offense. In a kicking situation with time running down and a mass substitution, you will not hold the clock for the defense.

FR-60: PENALTY [c-d]—Dead-ball foul: Five yards from the succeeding spot
e. When Team A sends in its substitutes, the officials will not allow the ball
to be snapped until Team B has been given an opportunity to substitute.
While in the process of substitution or simulated substitution, Team A is prohibited from snapping the ball.

In NFL that’s a KOB, penalty on K
NCAA that’s a KOB, penalty on K, with 4 options to R
In NFHS that’s an illegal participation on R, 15 yards.
