I think it is a decision based entirely on finding a way to shave time because the review process is beyond absurd in the amount of time it takes to reach a decision.

Of the other two rule changes noted in the article, I like prohibiting teams from calling consecutive timeouts.

The other one having penalties at the end of one quarter being enforced to begin the next quarter...that MIGHT be impactful in windy conditions.

fewer plays and faster games are OK by me, esp those 7:40 kickoffs in Autzen. this is gonna change strategy a little. puts more of a premium on building a lead and protecting it. running the clock out will be easier.
as always . . . get TDs when you reach the red zone, and hold the other team to FGs or stops on downs.

I know it's meant with good intentions, but the targeting reviews are really slowing the game. got to be a better way. if a zebra throws the flag, enforce the penalty and send the offending player to the sidelines. let the game continue while the play is reviewed. if he's guilty, eject and suspend. if it's not targeting, too bad about the penalty, and let the player back in the game.
