1.  Go ahead with the Saban/Bielema 10 second rule before a ball can be snapped, if the play clock starts at 40.  If it starts at 25 then the ball can be snapped at any time. 

Currently, the blame ref stands over the ball to be sure the defense has time to sub if the offense has substituted a player.  Many times the play clock get to below 10 before he moves out of the way.

2.  Offensive players can only be "set" one time. 

None of this getting set, then all heads turn toward the bench to see what the new play is.  If an offensive lineman is in a set position such that the ball could be snapped then they cannot move until it is snapped.  One backfield player may go in motion, but not toward the line of scrimmage.

3.  No contact once a receiver is five yards beyond the line of scrimmage.  And this means no offensive receiver push offs.  No contact until the ball is present.

This has gotten to the level of the charge vs. blocking foul in basketball.  No contact, on push offs.

4.  Field goals count like in paper football on the table.  If you hit one field goal = no points.  Hit second field goal = 3 points or you can bank it.  If first two are banked then third field goal = 10 points.
