'07 Rule Changes that (hopefully) should benefit UH
from espn....
the 2 major ones are for the clock.
last year the clock started when the ref put the ball in play, causing teams to have to rush onto the field. this cut out on many plays and minutes from games last year. (imagine how that would've impacted the team in the bama, boise and oregon state losses where we were coming back).
2nd big impact rule, is the kickoff from the 35 to 30 now. i guess they want more kickoff returns and less touchbacks.
anyways, here's espn's story, and the new rules compared to the old rules.

hey, we just found our 13th game... buried in these 12 other games. to think what our 2006 season would've been like, wins-wise and stats-wise, without the dumb one-year time-saving rules experiment. well, no matter, it's time to look ahead, season is upon us in less than a month!
