NCAA Eyes Possible Rule Change After Dan Lanning, Oregon Exploited Loophole vs. OSU

Related Topics: Dan Lanning

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning perfectly exploited a loophole in the NCAA's rulebook near the end of Saturday's 32-31 victory over Ohio State, but it reportedly could lead to changes down the line.

The Ducks called timeout and sent 12 defenders on the field with 10 seconds remaining and the Buckeyes driving into potential field-goal range. The result was an incomplete pass that took four seconds off the clock, so Lanning's team essentially traded five yards for fewer time on the clock.

Ohio State then ran out of time on the ensuing play when quarterback Will Howard scrambled.
