CFB Rule Changes for the 2023 Season

Rule Changes for the 2023 College Football Season

Goals:
1. Keep the game moving (pace of play, reduce the number of plays per game).
2. Ensure consistency in officiating the game clock.

Changes (my summary):
1. Still 3 timeouts allowed per half, but consecutive timeouts will no longer be allowed by a team in any individual dead ball period.
2. Game Stop for replay review only occurs for Targeting Fouls or head coach challenge.
3. The clock will no longer be stopped to award a first down except with less than two minutes remaining in the 2nd and 4th quarters.
4. A period shall be extended only during 2nd or 4th quarter, and only for live-ball foul, offsetting fouls, or an inadvertent whistle. The 1st and 3rd quarters will not be extended (penalty enforcement will be carried over to the following quarter).
5. Instant replay without a booth is now permissible.
6. Halftime warmup rules.
7. Over the field drone activity rules.
