Question about rule on TCU field goal

TCU is on offense as 3rd down is played and remains on offense for 4th down.

TCU makes changes in personnel to bring in the FG team.

Why doesn’t the official stand over the ball to allow Baylor to make defensive substitutions? If official stands over the ball, the clock reaches 0:00

Officials fricked up. Really no other way to spin it

I wondered the same thing I looked for the actual rule, but couldn't find anything specific. I would like to know the answer as well.

NFL yes, but that’s not how I understand the college rule. In College, offenses can substitute whenever they want but defenses, only when they have enough time.

NCAA rulebook

quote:

VIII. Late in the first half Team A is out of timeouts. A pass play on third down ends inbounds at the B-25 short of the line to gain with the game clock showing 0:10. Facing fourth down and three, Team A immediately hurries its field goal team onto the field. RULING: Team B should reasonably expect that Team A will attempt a field goal in this situation and should have its field-goal defense unit ready. The umpire will not stand over the ball, as there should be no issue of the defense being uncertain about the next play.

If the offense substitutes in college they have to give the defense time to substitute.

If the offense substitutes right away and the defense does too then they do not have to stand over the ball. It’s only when the offense starts with one personnel and then changes after the ball is set.

That actually happened in a game (I forget which one).

No idea what the frick TCU was doing with their playcalling and clock management at the end.

Channeling their inner-Les Miles?

College games can’t end with officials standing over the ball and holding up play. Someone else pointed it out above. Would be really lame if the defending team could just run the clock out by having their DL jog onto the field.

If the offense subs late and runs an offensive play, it 100% can.

That’s a good rule. You shouldn’t be rewarded for not being prepared for something that’s obvious to the game scenario.

Did you ask why the Baylor long snapper did not snap the ball with 12 men of the field guaranteeing victory?

You are correct. Awful application of rules. Baylor should have kept sending subs in.
