re: PAC12 Speaks about ASU/Wisky refs

I'm in ballscaster's corner on this. There is huge leeway in how much time an official takes to set the ball because each down is different. The TV audience has a better view than the players on the field, and even the audience was confused by what the QB did. So I think the official judged that the ASU guy hanging onto the ball an extra 5 seconds (acting like possession was being disputed) was not a penalty and not an abnormal delay (if it was a normal situation). The Pac-12 acknowledged that the officials should have acted with more urgency, appeasing the critics, but if Wisconsin had no more time outs left, then they took a huge gamble that those last few seconds would go smoothly and without complication. It was the Wisconsin QB that caused the confusion, even to the TV audience. So while the officials did not perform as well as they should have, Wisconsin caused the situation (no timeouts and confusing QB action) and to me it looks like they took an unnecessary gamble and lost. My position is that it was a minor judgment mistake by the officials that just happened to have huge consequences for Wisconsin.
Wisconsin is outraged that the officials did not act with the same sense of urgency they had. So how do you think they are going to act the next time they have a similar situation? Are they going to expect perfection from the refs? Not likely. They are going to realize that things don't always go to plan in a tight time window, and they are going to kick the field goal from the hash.

This is the only part in that wall of text that matters. It's absolutely laughable you would use the TV audience as a defense of the officials in the situation. It doesn't matter what they think. The ref was not confused by the action of the QB. He blew the play dead when his knee touched like he was supposed to.
