I'm not defending anything, just recalling what I saw from TV. The ref had his back to the LSU bench. Watch it again. Les asked someone if it was 3rd or 4th down (i.e. was the penalty declined or accepted), he got told and called for the fg team. He had his finger in his open ear, because he was talking to his coaches in the both and the crowd was going nuts.
The fg was rushed, but Alleman went through his full presnap routine and was set when the ball was snapped with 2 seconds remaining on the game clock. He should have made it. I will say Les might not have been aware that the playclock starts at 25 after a penalty, which he should and is a problem if true.
We can definitely agree that something was screwed up there. I will try to watch the replay if I can find it. To me he looked shocked. Then panic mode set in. Luckily it didn't cost us.
When I saw that safety in the first half, I had NO idea how important those two points would be!

espn3.com has the replay. You can skip right to that part of the game. I didn't see shock or confusion, other than him asking if it was accepted or declined. I saw him conferring with booth coaches on what the third down play would be (you could see him say 'we get the down over again' into the headset), headphone on one ear, hand covering the other to shield the crowd noise. He asked the down, was told fourth, then Alleman and crew ran out.
I'm not saying it was done exactly right, but it makes sense there was hesitation due to the penalty. I would say his biggest error was assuming the penalty would be accepted. That's not a clock management issue, which is what this thread is about.

Something not discussed is how that awesome block was called a hold in the first place, setting this whole thing off. Looked like a picture perfect pancake.
