[Vision2020] Vandals and Wildcats

[Tom Hansen]

AAnd how's this for a new rule.  I've been thinking about this since 
Cable's second season as the Vandals' head coach . . .

Suppose it is late in the fourth quarter of the game (say . . . maybe a 
minute, thirty to go).  Your team (say, the Vandals) is trailing by 35 
points.

The Vandals have the ball at their own two yard line, third down and 61 
yards to go for a first down.

Vandal QB Nathan Enderle connects with WR Max Komar, who scampers down 
field for a touchdown.

Under current rules, this touchdown would mark the end of the play, 
forcing the Vandals to do an on-side kick.

Under my proposed rule, after Komar crosses the goal line, he would be 
permitted to reverse field and run in the opposite direction in an attempt 
to score another touchdown (100 yards away).  If/Once Komar scores another 
touchdown, he would be permitted to reverse field again in attempt to 
score a third touchdown (100 yeards away).  And so on and so on and so 
on . . . until Komar (or whoever the ball carrier is at the time is 
tackled or run out of bounds).

In this manner, the 35-point deficit could be reduced.

Thoughts?
