FGs in College are far from a layup. Shit, they're becoming less of a sure thing in the NFL too.
True. Kicking in the college game is actually pretty entertaining because of that.

It's arguably worse in regards to the coin toss as well. Making it even more arbitrary. It does score style points in terms of pageantry and entertainment value.It is more interesting but it is a gimmick.
College OT rules are trash. Starting in FG range is such trash
Nothing is more fucking dumb than a tied game. We don't deal with that shit in CFB.
Chocolate Chip, bitchGood for you. Want a cookie?

So, what are the options?
College rules aka see it and copy it from the opposing 20
Better than the current versionAnd have a Lucky as well.....
2nd rate solution.
Why stop at one for each? It wouldn't be fair for one team to get 2 possesions and the other to only get one.
also, if team A on its first possession then team B scores as well. Then team A fumbles on the kick off return and team B scores on the ensuing drive team A should get another possesion as their offense was shorted a chance.
Or we can accept that defense is part of the game and shut the fuck up.
Better than the current version
I have a simple and elegant solution: Let the teams play the entire overtime period. Whoever is ahead at the end of the quarter, wins.
I love how people say "well, they should've stopped Tom Brady's offense". Like it's supposed to be easy or commonplace. KC isn't a good defensive team in the first place. They won so many games because they racked up the points. Odds are heavily in TB12's favor vs most defenses.
KC's offense is better than NE's defense, and probably the best in the NFL.
NE's offense is better than KC's defense.
Whoever got the ball first would probably win.
KC dropped 24 points on NE in the 4th quarter and forced overtime. When Pat Mahomes is sitting on the sideline and isn't allowed to get on the field, there's a problem with overtime - it's not "fine, as is". There's no logical reason to keep the current system.
That likely if everybody score would be the team who won the toss....
PLAY
BETTER
DEFENSE
It's not like we're talking about forcing a punt. Just keep them out of the endzone.
Rules are fine. Tired players going the full 15 would lead to more injuries. First score was total BS but I don't think a team that couldn't prevent the other team from marching into the endzone has much to bitch about.

There's no logical reason to keep the current system other than to make it end faster.
