I've been thinking about that Bucks/Ducks game, especially the ending and what great gamesmanship by Oregon at the end. They ran the 12th man on at the end and sacrificed 5 yards for for precious time to tick off. I'm pretty sure it was intentional. If that was the case, just a great awareness of the rules. Just so long they didn't give up anything positive with an extra man up.

Dan Lanning came out and said it was 100% intentional and was solely to run more time off the clock. Those 4 seconds turned out to be the reason that they won the game. That is great awareness of the rules, but if it is intentional like that, there should be an unsportsmanlike call (same way I have been advocating for an unsportsmanlike call when players clearly fall on field to fake an injury to slow game down). It is impossible to be able to tell intent on that play, of course, but it is something that the coach openly admitted to doing this.

I agree with you . it is unsportsmanlike and at that point in the game make it as such . intent or not doesnt matter .

just make it a rule that doing so in the last 2 minutes gives a team the option of restoring the time lost

So you don't have to have replay assess the time loss, just call it a 5 (10, 7, whatever) second add-on, same idea as the 10 second runoff for offensive penalties.

Exactitude isn't important, and having the game pause for a stupid delay to haggle over a second or two would be a disaster, the point is just to disincentivize this.

If we don't get #BPOTR for this game, then it (A) clearly is not on Bret's radar as a possibility or (B) he has a hatred of that look for some reason, lol. Because we need to draw on this epic energy when we go to Eugene!!

I generally agree. However, it should not even need a review. It is quite easy to tell when the last snap took place, and should in theory be communicated down to the on-field officials in quick order. If we can do it sitting at home easily, then they should be able to do it on the field quickly without needing a formal review.
