More Good Stuff From CFB Stats

Marty of cfbstats has provided the latest update regarding how rule 3-2-5-e has impacted the time of games and reduced the number of plays. The only dramatic change is the average time of a game, which has increased 72 seconds the past two weeks. As we learned last week, scoring also is down, and Marty has provided updated numbers for that as well. Here are the numbers:

Overall...G........Plays......Plays/G....Min.......Min/G......Time/G
