Definitive proof this “3 second” spike excuse is bull.

move on

I'm over all these excuses. It makes us look really bad. Make a dang stop on 4th and 18. Call one pass play inside the 5 when a TD wins it. Don't muff punts. This game was there for us numerous times.

And the illegal formation trumps your little gotcha....

I can only conclude that aTm is paying him almost as much as they paid the refs.

The real Jimbo Jr.

Click stopped at 3. Watched it last night. Tamu had already done one clicking in 2 seconds on 2nd down the series before.
Mond was down before the int. But with no call on the field perhaps that should not have come back. The clocking was done correctly.
The fumble on the catch was pure bullshite.
But we had soooo many chances to win.
The loss is on us and especially play calling on 3rd and 4 in regulation, on the 4th OT when they had already settled for a FG and on no pressure on Mond in the O T’s

No he’s just proving a point. We lost the game period and that’s it. Winners find a way to win and losers make excuses.

all that matters is how much time was on clock when A&M snapped the ball to spike it...if the clock read 2 seconds or less, then the spike should not have been allowed per NCAA rules.

To establish three seconds as the minimum amount of time required to be on the game clock in order to spike the ball to stop the clock. If one or two seconds remain on the clock, there is only time for the offense to run one more play.

the clock does not officially stopped until an official signals for it to stop.. not the results of the play... the clock operators look at the covering official - not the play itself..

Exactly. When the clock started again, the clock was at 1 second when the ball was snapped. the ball strikes the ground at a millisecond before Zero. You can't then place a full second on the clock. Otherwise, the NCAA must start using a clock that shows to the tenths or hundreds.
