NCAA Proposes Change to Too Many Men Penalty After Dan Lanning Gamed the System Against Ohio State

The end of an Ohio State football game is changing the rules of college football.

On Friday, the NCAA Football Rules Committee proposed a change that will give offenses the option to reset the game clock in the final two minutes of each half if the defense commits a too many men on the field penalty and the extra defender or defenders participate in the play. If the additional player or players are attempting to leave the field and have no impact, there will still be no clock adjustment.
