The NCAA changed the rule yesterday. Offense now gets to choose to keep the 5 yards get the time restored. Still a bit of a loophole, though, because the time isn't restored if the 12th man is attempting to leave the field pre-snap.
I am pretty sure Lan Dannings publicity person told him to claim it was on purpose to improve on his appearance of ineptness from 3 straight close losses to UW.
Thats my story and I sticking to it. He is not a smart man. Not "meat" dumb. Just not sharp.
Because of this one play demonstrating something? I dunno about that. Lanning is not the straw that stirs the drink for Oregon football. Every coach, sans the single year of Willie, has had success at Oregon during the Phil / Nike era.
I sadly would trade Fisch for Lanning probably straight up right now but I just don’t think the Lanning thing works nearly as well at UW. His far and away biggest strength to me has been hiring young good OCs and seemingly allowing them to do their thing. Dillingham ended up being a great hire especially if he is what brought Nix but he looked like a joke when they gave him the job. Stein was a great hire.
Meddling with offense seems to be a coaching Achilles heal or limiter for an otherwise good coach. See Petersen, Crisco and possibly Fisch.

The more I think about it, the more I’m surprised no one thought of this before.

You have to hand it to Karl Urban on that one. Best coaching call of his lifetime.

I mean, change it by all means.
But Buck and haters need to stop whining about it. They were lucky to be in a position to win it with a field goal in the first place.

I would trade Fisch and a 2nd round pick for Lanning right here, right now

1-4 vs DeBoer and Johnny Smith.
1st Big Boy Win in Year 3 vs Ryan Day at home.
