It doesn't stop on its own. It's up to the officials to blow it dead.

ETA: It's funny how fragile a legacy is. If he waits until the WR is set, that catch is short of the end zone and the clock likely runs out. Etling would catch a ton of shite, and rightfully so because you simply cannot throw it short. Instead, he gets a penalty, giving him another chance, and now we praise his grit and play making ability.

Obviously. They started blowing it dead the second he hit, it was a first down.

Why I said I understand a 1 second run off. Not a 2 second run off because the play clock operator in auburn obviously didn't give a shite about pressing the button on time.

Theoretically there would have been enough time to run another play if the clock was stopped correctly.
