If the defense lines up with 12, they have three seconds to get the extra man to run off the field


Correct. Illegal substitution is a deal ball foul, and 5 yard penalty. In college (not NFL), if a play is run with 12 men on the field, that is illegal participation and a 15 yard yard penalty. The irony is that illegal participation generally can only occur if the refs didn't blow the play dead to call illegal substitution to begin with.
