Why did the clock keep running after our WR went OOB on final drive?

Was there a change in the rules from last year?
My understanding was that if a player goes out of bounds during the final two minutes of a half, the clock stops until the ball is snapped.
If a player goes OOB any other time, the clock stops until the ball is spotted.
Even the announcers pointed out "the clock is running" right after our player (I think it was Dural) stepped out after a completion. There was about a minute left.
Had the clock operator done his job properly we're never in a position where Ritter/Birmingham can claim we didn't get the last play off on time.
NOTE: This is the second time in two years a clock operator may have determined the outcome of a game. Tennessee got a first down on their final drive against Florida last year and the clock never stopped for the ball to be spotted. That 15-20 seconds wound up costing them the game.
If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me. Otherwise, the SEC needs to stop allowing the home school to control the clock or at least force the officials to enforce the rules with regard to when the clock stops and when it starts late in games.
This is a disgrace that they've allowed this to happen two years in a row now.

They ruled forward progress had stopped

Forward progress was ruled to be stopped in bounds. It was a judgment call, and probably a bad one, but it happens.

It was a bad call among a sea of bad calls. But it's over. Moving forward.

Thanks. What a weird interpretation. You'd think they'd be cognizant of the fact that a player in that situation would be trying to get OOB instead of moving "forward."
I've never seen that interpretation called before. I thought if a player ran out of bonds in the last 2 minutes the clock stopped.
Oh well, sucks for us but nothing can he done about it now...

It's a rivalry that has an abundance of bad calls. Not sure how this keeps happening...

IMO Dural stopped forward progress on his own and went backwards to get OOB. Clock should have stopped.

SEC officials are the worst. Have been for years.

All I can say is "wow." I've watched a lot of football and the closest I've ever seen to that ruling was the Tennessee-Florida game last year when the clock kept running after a UT first down.
I know it's not apples to apples, but still....

Definitely.

How is that interpreted in the rule book? I was under the impression going out of bounds sideways/backwards meant the play was stopped in the field of play, even if it was on your own volition.

That call, and the timeout we took at 1:47 that wasn't given til 1:40 (moved back to 1:43) majorly fricked us. Those two were egregious to me.
The game is done and it is what it is, but that kind of stuff just shouldn't happen.

Also, if Etling didn't get the final snap off on time, shouldn't the play have been blown dead before the snap?
If they allowed the ball to be snapped then he got it off on time.
There were so many things from that game that are contradictory to established football norms I've become familiar with and used to.

99 times out of 100 they stop the clock when a runner us trying to get out and does in that situation.

I'm not a rule expert, but I've never seen it called that way before. Not even once.

And? Our new coach will presumably still be subjected to horrendous officiating, especially against the two Alabama teams.
IMO Steve Shaw needs to be removed from his position and replaced by someone with no SEC ties who can then hire his own officiating teams who would likewise have no conflicts of interest within the SEC.

Call came in from the office in Birmingham.

And the calls tend to be rather one sided.
