During his weekly pregame press conference, Oregon Duck Footballs’ head coach alluded to intentionally committing a penalty to run out the clock in Oregon’s marquee win vs. the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Did Oregon coach Dan Lanning purposely call for 12 defenders to take the field on Ohio State’s penultimate offensive snap Saturday — knowing that it would either be missed by the refs (thus aiding the Duck defense) or even if flagged would result in just a 5-yard penalty but cost the Buckeyes precious time on the clock because of a NCAA rulebook loophole?

The NCAA moved quickly to no longer incentivize teams to break the rules in late-clock situations. The NCAA Football Rules Committee on Wednesday issued a new intepretation to AR 9-2-3 II, more commonly known as the Dan Lanning Loop Hole.
