In the wake of Oregon's successful use of a 12-man defensive ploy against Ohio State, the NCAA has issued a new rule interpretation intended to prevent similar strategies in the future.
NCAA football secretary-rules editor Steve Shaw emphasized that the new ruling seeks to eliminate any advantage gained from intentional penalties, ensuring fairness in the game.
Ducks coach Dan Lanning noted that the strategy had been practiced, underscoring how specific game situations can be exploited in college football for strategic benefits.
Lanning’s remarks illustrate how unconventional tactics can lead to victories, while the NCAA's ruling reflects an effort to maintain integrity and prevent exploitation of the rules.
