Dan Lanning confirmed he purposely put a 12th man on the field to bleed time off the clock and put Ohio State is a terrible position to win

Lanning is showing us that the rules can be taken advantage of. No Lanning hate here. Respect for pushing his advantage. 10-second run-off has a flaw.

I thought the 10 second run-off was only for offensive penalties. Doesn't make sense to penalize the offense for defensive penalties.

The 10-second run off is *supposed* to be an antidote for a team trying to preserve time by committing a penalty, which was the old timing rule.

Therefore, a 10-second runoff could be invoked by the officials on either a defensive or an offensive penalty. But I don't think the rule is knowing in its application, if you get my drift. See the Oregon vs. Ohio State game as evidence of that idea.

Oh I see. Yeah that makes sense.

He's so damn hateable. Can't wait to watch them lose.

You're not supposed to say that part out loud. Now the NCAA will institute a rules change. Or how a few of the NFL rules came to be, due to something the Raiders did. See Holy Roller.

Reminds me of how our game ended at UNC.

Remember when we would beat teams in the last minute?

I can't remember, I think a lot of those brain cells died recently.
