Can't post a link because it's a paid article, but highlights include:

Last year, college teams with the longest games:

Bowling Green 3:39
Tulsa 3:36
Baylor 3:34

Contributing factors cited:

- more first downs = more clock stoppages

- more TDs = more commercial breaks

Games are more enjoyable to me when they're closer to three hours than four. This might be one silver lining in Kugler's emphasis on a power run game.
 
All I know is, it's getting harder to discuss the previous play...there's no time!
