The Forward Pass: How a Rule Change in 1906 Revolutionized Football Strategy FOREVER - History

The year 1906 in college football terms is best known as the year the forward pass was first legalized.
But it wasn't the only major change to college football. There were a slew. Nearly 30 rules changes

Including the onside kick rule, which made offensive players onside once the ball was kicked, so it was a punt with a free ball.

The major focus of these changes was to open up the game and to make the game less brutal. In this video, I'll discuss the changes in 1906, along with the reaction that coaches and sports writers had to the new rules and the new football.
