Oregon had 12 men out of the field on Ohio State's 3rd and 25 with 10 seconds left. Dan Lanning called a timeout. They sent a 12th man out on the field late, which would mean Ohio State shouldn't have a good play. The Buckeyes snapped the ball, no significant gain, obvious 5 yard penalty, replay 3rd down. But the genius here is the time doesn't get put back on the clock. Was this all intentional? According to Lanning - yes...

Unsportsmanlike. I get it. Use the rules as written to your advantage. It's shitty and shouldn't be able to be exposed just like players faking injuries (looking at you, Ole Miss.)

Drop a 15 yard personal foul on the HC (2 and you're removed from the game just like the players)

I don't think it's nearly as bad as faking injuries. Faking injuries is truly cheating because the player isn't injured and you're faking something to get a benefit. Lanning didn't fake anything. He just intentionally committed a penalty, knowing it would actually help him. How's it different than a DB intentionally holding a WR when he's been beat, to save a TD? In that case too, the penalty helps the penalized team.

He shouldn't have admitted that. Now everybody will be doing it and NCAA will need to change the rule a dead ball foul. I don't like that he did that. Why not keep doing it for the last 1 minute of the game? This will be changed.

It should be changed. He admitted to cheating. Just because he found a loophole in the rules doesn’t make it right moving forward. He took advantage, it’s now obvious the rule needs to be changed to prevent that from happening again. That’s how the world evolves

Using the rules to your advantage isn’t cheating. Day didn’t even know the play clock would start immediately.

One coach is playing chess. The other doesn’t even have situational awareness even though he’s had a lot of responsibilities being taken over by Chip.

They already changed the rule lol

it's risky because the penalty would change a 60-yard FG to a 55-yard FG.

Dumb to admit it and draw attention so the rule gets changed but his ego wanted everyone to know how brilliant he is as a coach.
