The national coordinator of college football officials issued a rule interpretation to close a loophole exploited by Oregon, allowing offenses to reset the clock after a defensive penalty.
Oregon intentionally played with 12 players against Ohio State as a strategy to manage the game clock, which resulted in the Buckeyes running out of time.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee aims to prevent teams from gaining an advantage through penalties by resetting the game clock after a substitution foul by the defense.
This new interpretation is meant to eliminate any advantage gained from committing a substitution foul while ensuring that the integrity of the game is maintained.
