3 seconds left.... Les mentioned this (i think)

Just rewatched the press conference.. he says the "initial view shows 3 seconds"...if that is true, is he referring to the scoreboard (how else do the coaches get the "official time in this situation", it is not like the refs are going to stop the game, but you cant run a play without knowing the correct time)....wonder when he is saying it changed ...but then apparently that changed to 1 second..... if that is true.. then pretty much impossible to get the right play out in that situation .. not real sure, but it seems he should have at least gone with this theory if even remotely true for the "mass confusion" at the end

yea they got some home cooking from the clock operator, but that happens everywhere

it looked to me like the ref didn't actually give the sign to stop the clock until there was 1 second left.

I was in Oxford. The catch may have been made with 3 seconds to go, but the clock fluidly counted down to one second left in an uninterrupted fashion. Then it stopped as the referees moved the chains. Every LSU fan in the stadium understood that there was one second left.

yes, but miles also said that when he went to the refs to dispute the 1 or 3 second point, the refs were running from the field, supposedly he couldn't get them to verify the time left

Should have been a booth review.

Watching the replay last night the clock definatly stopped at one point with 2 seconds left as they were running down the field.

The TV clock isn't always right.

So you were there??

Well, no, though other people in this thread that were there said it went to 1 sec with no interruption.

You know he can't speak English. He probably meant it looked like he came down with three seconds left (which is true), but the clock didn't stop til one.

And by these fans...you mean the ones who paid to go to the game rather than the one man paid millions to watch the clock??

The Cox Sports Television replay had two seconds left. CBS had one second left. Numerous posters who were at the game said there was one second left.

If he snaps it right at the whistle (which he should, but maybe he waits for the signal from the QB still)

If the center and QB have a decent coach they will be trained to take a snap at the whistle. If the snap is ON the whistle it is a 1 second play.
