The No. 2 Oregon Ducks are riding high after the defining victory of the Dan Lanning era, 32-31 over Ohio State. But with a Friday night game against struggling Purdue on the docket, Lanning’s team will have to reset quickly in order to avoid sweating out a game it should win handily.

The NCAA issued a rules interpretation that will allow offenses to reset clock if 12 or more defenders participate in a play late in a half.

The ruling from NCAA Football Secretary-Rules Editor Steve Shaw comes just days after Oregon coach Dan Lanning told the media he purposely took a 12-men on the field penalty to help run out the clock and close out the Buckeyes, 32-31.
