Why don't more teams take advantage of this?

OSU didn't call a timeout on the previous play, so 35 seconds ran off, then the false start. The clock was about to start again, so OSU was forced to call timeout. It's a way to abuse the clock and drain 1:00 per play if they other team doesn't have any timeouts.

I've been saying this. in fact, I asked this many times on the msb.

if you are up by 7, and you opponent has no timeouts, just keep jumping early. they re-spot the ball and the clock restarts every time.

it eliminates the possibility of a fumble.
