Whichever team is on offense Saturday will head toward the west [left] end zone.

How is this going to work? What if an interception is being run back for a touchdown?

I think it's pretty clear!

"I think it's a student-athlete safety concern that is first and foremost, and we want to make sure there's no chance for somebody to run into that wall and get seriously injured," Brown said.

It's not there is no endzone, it's just that they want to avoid people getting hurt. Still, it'll be disorienting to always see offense always going one way!

How could the defense score a touchdown, though?

What do you mean? They intercept it and run it into the other endzone. There are still two endzones!

What about the health of the defensive players?

It's a risk, but it's rare that a defensive player would need to race out of bounds beyond the endzone when they've intercepted a pass or recovered a fumble.
