The NCAA amended the rule penalizing a defense for having 12 men on the field after Oregon head coach Dan Lanning used it to his advantage in the Ducks' 32-31 win over Ohio State.

The NCAA announced Wednesday that the team on offense will have the option to reset the clock when the opposing defense is flagged for a substitution foul inside the final two minutes of a half.

This comes after Lanning executed some impressive gamesmanship.

After Oregon's victory, he acknowledged he purposefully had 12 men line up on defense in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Ducks were penalized, but Ohio State went from having 10 seconds to just six seconds to find a game-winning score because the clock didn't reset.

With those extra seconds, Ohio State would've been able to call a timeout and send out the field goal unit after quarterback Will Howard slid down at the 26-yard line.

The NCAA wasted little time in working to ensure another coach couldn't replicate Lanning's tactical gambit.

Steve Shaw, the secretary rules editor, told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger on Tuesday the organization was "engaged" in discussions about how to tweak the substitution rule.

A rapid resolution like this isn't unprecedented.

In the 2021 ACC title game, Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett famously faked a slide and fooled the Wake Forest defense on a 58-yard touchdown run. Within a matter of days, fake slides were effectively outlawed since a play is now over the moment a ball-carrier begins his sliding motion.

Lanning will probably take a level of pride from the fact he'll now be synonymous with the new substitution rule, and he may relish the challenge of finding another loophole to exploit in a critical situation.
