The 2023 college football season will kick off Aug. 26.
The 2023 season will feature a new rule change for starting and stopping the game clock when first downs are converted.
When an offense gains a first down, the clock will no longer stop except with less than two minutes remaining in the second and fourth quarters.
Third-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel was asked about the rule change at SEC media days.
“The clock rule at the end of the first half, I think everybody is going to be playing in the same way,” Heupel said. “I don’t think it’s going to have a dramatic, different effect on us versus another offense.
“How you manage your timeouts might be a little different at the end of regulation or the end of the half. All in all, we’ll see what the numbers play out to be, but there’s a series of the game that’s probably taken away in general for every team because of some of the clock rules. We’ll see how that plays out during the course of the year.”
