Pointing Out The Idiocy Of A New Rule

A truly outstanding find from The Wizard Of Odds: Apparently, during the Joe Paterno broken leg game between Penn State and Wisconsin — JoePa's return has been pretty amazing, by the way; the guy's coaching this week — Badgers coach Bret Bielema either discovered a loophole in the controversial new 3-2-5-e rule or just pointed out its ridiculousness. The rule is meant to shorten games by keeping the clock running when it wouldn't ordinarily run — during kickoffs, for example — but as this move shows, it can also make for surreal scene that takes six minutes to run 20 seconds off the clock.
