Rule change Iowa should love

Rule change #1: As someone who has spent most of his time on the defensive side of football there has always been a rule change I'd like to make. I have always wanted to reward the defense for a safety. I would like to see a safety worth 8 points. 1. it's pretty difficult to accomplish. 2. It would reward the "defensive" effort as opposed to getting 2 points and then relying on the offense to try and score. 3. Teams would become more aggressive when the opportunity presents itself and the result could be super exciting 100 yd plays if the defense guesses wrong and the offense guesses right. What say you?

Rule change #2: Field goals irritate me LOL they are too frequent. Make it harder. Put a crossbar on the top so the kicker must make it through the rectangle. This will lower the trajectory of the kick thereby making blocked field goals or missed field goals which will make me happy.

thoughts?
These would help us:

1) Throw a 3 yard out on third and 9: 6 points
2) Each sack given up: 3 points
3) Run on first down: 2 points

We would lead the country in points per game boys!
