Major Rule Changes
- The inbounds lines or hashmarks were moved closer to the center of the field, 20 yards from the sidelines.
- The player who extends his arms under the center must receive the snap or the offensive team will be penalized for a false start.
- When a snap is muffed by the receiving player and then touches the ground, it is legally a fumble.
- During an extra point attempt, the ball is spotted at the 2-yard line, but the offense may opt to have it be placed further from the goal line.
- After a kicked punt crosses the line of scrimmage, the kicking team may recover the ball if it touches a member of the receiving team before they control the ball themselves.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or rule:
“True spoiling is nothing to do with what a child owns or with amount of attention he gets. he can have the major part of your income, living space and attention and not be spoiled, or he can have very little and be spoiled. It is not what he gets that is at issue. It is how and why he gets it. Spoiling is to do with the family balance of power.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“Some rule out of a lust for ruling; others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
