Obviously it doesn't matter because they lost and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. But we're discussing the incompetency of the umpire in not getting the ball ready for play prior to there only being one second on the clock. The officials clearly lost control and screwed it up. Yes, Wisconsin lost. But that doesn't mean it was handled correctly by the officials.
You are wrong.

Yes he did. Then it took him 11 seconds of the game clock to mark the ball ready for play, and it should not have.
11 seconds is fine. Still enough time for a spike with 4 seconds left. Wisconsin wasn't ready in time. You don't have a good argument.

Just kick the field goal and you take the game out of the refs hands.

You're terrible at math or just can't keep track of your terrible argument any more. You said he got to the ball after weaving through people, he did fine, etc. He got there with 12 seconds left. He then dicked around with the ASU players for several seconds, even stopping to say something to the one who wasn't even on the ground at one point, and then he marked the ball for play with one second left. That's 11 seconds. He botched it, there is no other way around it.

I'm sure you have attended dozens of officiating clinics, taken the mechanics test, and probably are a certified instructor.

But, tell us how there was 4 seconds left for Wisconsin to spike the ball (your words) when the U is stopping the center from addressing the ball (he's over the ball with his arm out) and the clock shows 2 seconds?

Changing facts to fit your opinion is weak....

Play ended at 15. 11 seconds later is 4.

Doesn't matter. Wisconsin wasn't set and didn't snap the ball in time, so they lose.

Also, that three second rule isn't in effect here. That's a rule for when the clock starts after a first down, which was not the case here.

Moot. Clock showed 0 before Wisconsin was ready.

FYI two college officials I know disagree on this, and they're saying that there's quite a debate in the officiating community. Letter of the rule vs. spirit of the rule type of thing.

That doesn't keep Wisconsin from getting set.

Again, when the clock hit 0, Wisconsin was the only party not ready. The officials and ASU were in position; Wisconsin wasn't.

No, it doesn't. The left tackle and tight end were not set at :00, and they were nowhere near the ball. The ball was clear at :06.

Umpire got to the ball at 12, which is what we were discussing. 11 seconds later is 1. Video clearly shows he didn't move off the ball until there was 1 second remaining. He botched it, get over yourself.

Doesn't matter. Wisconsin wasn't set when the clock hit 0. Had they been set earlier, the official would have set the ball earlier, and nothing you can say will prove otherwise.

You don't have a good argument. What you don't understand is that nothing that you're saying matters. Wisconsin was not prepared to snap the ball in time, so they lost. It's over.

So the basis of your argument is the official is not at fault because he was ready....when the game was over. Brilliant.
