What is American College Football?

American College Football is played between two teams trying to score points by moving the ball into the opponent’s end zone. The team on offense has four chances (called “downs”) to advance the ball at least 10 yards, if they succeed, they get another set of four down. Points can be scored through touchdowns, field goals, or other plays, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
