perhaps, but the goal is both teams get to possess the ball and a legitimate drive as long as the defense holds at all at first.So what? If you can't stop the other team from putting together a 10 minute drive, you deserve to lose. This isn't a problem.
Personally I feel OT should be like basketball, get x amount of minutes and let whatever scoring that happens occur until time runs out again, and keep going to multiple OTs if necessary.
