Review showed ball on ground with 1 second on the clock. The game isn’t over until it reads 0. There were 10ths left.


I watched the replay in slo-mo and if you watch the ball hit the ground bythe time you look back to the time inset as fast as you can the clock is on zero. If you freeze frame it you can stop it to appear that there is a whole second left.
Now consider this explanation on NOLA.com. The clock had 3seconds on it when the referee started the clock. The ball was snapped with 2 seconds or less. NCAA rule says you cannot spike the ball with less than 3 seconds on the clock. Play should not have been allowed.

Not exactly. Here's the rule:

Rule 3: Periods, Time Factors and Substitutions
Section 2. Playing Time and Intermissions.
Article 5. Minimum Time For a Play After Spiking a Ball

"If the game clock is stopped and will start on the referee's signal with three or more seconds remaining in the quarter, the offense may reasonably expect to throw the ball directly to the ground. and have enough time for another play. With two or one second on the game clock there is only time for one more play.
