I love Ivy League football as it's very good play with real student athletes. However, the games need to move along a lot faster. I have mentioned this many times on this website, but these spread no huddle offenses actually slow the games down. This season nearly every game I have attended have lasted 3 1/2 plus hours. On Saturday we had some young kids with us who wanted to go to the book store after the game, and it was almost closed when we arrived at 4:50 pm. Sure there are commercial time outs, but also way too many penalties flagged and incompletions stopping the clock over and over. The league and the refs need to move these games along. I can walk 18 holes of golf faster than a college football game.

Agreed- way too slow !!! High school is even worse in my opinion with the incomplete passes. Shut it off in the last 2 minutes of 1st half and second. Otherwise, run the clock after incompletions.
