I'm sure this ending will be shown for years when officals are being trained. I think Wisconsin and the officials share blame here, although it is a bit gray for me whether a defensive delay should have been called. The DE for ASU who jumped on the ball handled that perfectly. He jumped on the ball when the kneel down looked awkward and got off before a delay was called (when your instinct would likely be to stay on the ball and argue).

The grayness of the situation pretty much means you don't call it.

Good, reasonable take.

Wow...this is still going on?

Wisconsin got fricked. Glad ASU got the win though.

I'm still amazed that Wisconsin isn't getting more heat...the refs didnt handle the situation perfectly, but Wisconsin totally botched that sequence...why weren't they more in a hurry to line up and spike the ball??? Even if the ref would have spotted it sooner, Wisconsin was just lost and seemingly unaware that the clock was running....zero sense of urgency to get lined up for a spike.

IMO, Wisconsin has no one to blame but themselves.

And lets not forget that the only reason it came down to that was Wisconsin's decision to run that play with no timeouts and k owing full well the clock would be running.
