here is he said he wanted his player to try and draw a false start from the Bruins, and then commit an infraction if that didn't work.

Well, five yards against the offense would have made it 2nd and 6; still a running down for the Bruins, with the potential for 3rd and short. That's pretty close to what others here have been arguing for.

The two penalty options are strategically diametrically opposed to each other. Lanning's thinking, if what he said was reported accurately, was as cloudy as a typical Oregon day.

Maybe it's 4D football that just escapes me, but I have no problem disagreeing with that so-called logic.
