NCAA Considers Rule Change After Oregon's Strategic Penalty

Oregon's intentional 12-men penalty against Ohio State prompts NCAA to review game clock rules.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning admitted the team intentionally used a 12-men formation to run down the clock against Ohio State.
The penalty, which cost Oregon five yards, effectively took four seconds off the clock, preventing Ohio State from attempting a game-winning field goal.
NCAA secretary rules editor Steve Shaw confirmed the Football Playing Rules Committee is examining the situation for potential rule changes.
Current NCAA rules do not reset the clock after a 12-men penalty, unlike in the NFL, prompting calls for a change.
The strategic move by Oregon has sparked debate over the fairness of penalties that can benefit the offending team.
