So what would have happened had that play taken 10 seconds and Oregon had 12 men on the field? Would the game just have ended on a penalty against he defense?

I mean.... I dont think you can or maybe just change the rule. How is that any different than a CB who is beat badly and just tackles the guy to take the 15 yard PI instead of giving up a 50+ yard play? Its just the lesser of two evils. and taking an intentional penalty over the risk of a big play.

I think the way to fix it would be simple. If you have 12 on the field on defense, offense gets the option to 1. decline and let whatever play stand with the time running or not based on what happened with the play; 2. accept the penalty and get the 5 yards and whatever time ran off the clock did (theoretically you could spike it) or 3. Accept the penalty, but instead of 5 yards and losing time you re-do the down and put the time back on the clock. Problem solved in my eyes.

The whole faking injuries though? I got no solution for that one. Making players who are hurt sit out a whole drive would help but then you will just have the lesser players faking the injuries so I do not see an effective strategy.

Give the opposing team an extra timeout and allow it to carry over into halves. In reality, you're giving yourself a timeout by faking the injury. Timeouts are pretty **** valuable in tight games. After X amount of injury stoppages by one team the other team starts to get timeouts.

The first time a team fakes a bunch of injuries and another team uses 6 timeouts with two minutes left to get the ball back and wins coaches will start to think twice about it.

That's the most direct, "eye for an eye", result.
 
Hopefully we play Oregon and Lanning tries the same approach

Give us the ball at the 38 with 6 seconds, Cam runs for an easy 6-8 and positions us for Borregales to drill the game winner

Also **** OSU

why stop at 12 guys? whats preventing Oregon from bring 15 defenders out there to assure no big play?

Buddy Ryan once got away with having 14 players on the field. Refs missed the call. He was asked about it and said he should have had 15. So to answer the question, nothing to stop it other than I suppose it’s easier to get away with 12 than 15. Maybe it doesn’t get noticed (not sure if that is an automatic review)
