It was an odd sequence of events. I guess my only point is that WIsconsin created the situation. Not ASU, not the refs, not anyone else...Wisconsin chose to run a play with no timeouts that left the clock running...Wisconsin's QB did a very unusual/strange-looking "kneel" to kill the play (which caused the crowd, ASU players, and TV viewers thinking it might have been a fumble), and then Wisconsin for whatever reason never actually got lined up for the spike until it was too late.
Did they get screwed? Maybe...but it's tough for me to feel sorry for them when their own decisions/errors helped to create the whole cluster frick to begin with.

So they shouldn't have assumed some level of competency from the officials? That would be the best argument I've seen against Wisconsin, the rest is BS. They had plenty of time to accomplish what they wanted to had it not been botched by the officials, specifically the umpire.

I have no idea why people keep saying this. He took a knee and the whistle was blown to kill the play. From there is where they were screwed. It wouldn't have mattered if he would have flopped on the ground, sat on his arse, etc.

The reason is because the ball wasn't spotted until it was too late. Believe it or not, they weren't prepared for the umpire to dick around until there was one second on the clock. Some believe that's Wisconsin's fault and stick their head in the sand when it comes to the umpire dicking around part.
