re: Here is the NCAA rule and interpretation on the 3-second spike rule...Refs got it right

Correct. TAMU got hosed by the clock operator. Dude went down with 6 seconds left!!!!! And they ran it down to 3???? Wtf? Shoulda been way more than 3 seconds on clock.

So we are all just going to ignore the receiver was out of bounds with 6 seconds left.

I could be wrong and I haven't rewatched it, but I think his knee hit in bounds prior to his elbow hitting out of bounds.

honest question, and this was mentioned before, is the clock not stopped by the referee signaling an incomplete pass, thus why the clock ran to zero prior to ref signal?

Are you absolutely sure his elbow was the first thing to touch? Because, if it was the knee, he wasn't out of bounds. That's what the call was--not out of bounds.

As for the 6 seconds, you have a point there. However, the refs aren't in the business of rechecking the time at the end of every play. That's why the interpretation points out that there is no assurance that you have time to execute a spike with only three seconds on the clock.

This isn't the situation like at Auburn in 2016. There, the question was whether LSU got the snap off in time.

The question then becomes, "Does the rule book allow a team to insist on getting an official review of the spike when the play started with 3 seconds on the clock?"

That's a reasonable question, and the scenario presented seems to say, "no".

I'm not sure I would say LSU got screwed, but I'm not sure I would say the officials followed the correct procedure either.

What does that have to do with whether you have time to spike it in a timely manner. What does the rule say about tenths of a second. If there's less than a second should a full second be added? What about 1/10th of one second? Do you round it up to a full second? Is it addressed in the rulebook? From the rule I read it is not and the game is over. There was 1/10th of one second showing on the clock that was flashed on the TV on the replay Saturday night. Do you round it up to one second? On replay the best they could do is 1/10th of a second. The game was over.

Shocking. Ben is all over this thread being a moron and lying again. This never happens.

Why do you feel the need to constantly lie anonymously on the Internet, Ben? Do you think it makes you cool?

So the time keepers reaction time isn't part of the game now??

It never had been.

Bc I've never in my life seen a game put time back on a clock when the time keeper lets even 3 or more seconds off of it after a play is dead.

Time gets added or removed from a clock all the time. You want to see an end of game scenario, go rewatch the nebraska-Texas big 12 championship game from a few years ago.

I just need somebody to explain to me how the ball in still in the center hands when the clock reads 1 second but 1 second was put back on that clock. Basically Texas A&M was allowed to run the only play in football history that took no time off the clock that wasn't an untimed down.

Ben Coleman all up in here thinking that because there is 0.00 on the clock the game is over. Like clock issues aren't reviewable?

I mean shite, the kick six game had a second added to the clock and it ended up changing the history of the Iron Bowl.

Yes but not because “the time keeper didn’t stop the clock at the EXACT moment the ball was dead”. That is just considered part of the game. You can not review every time the ball is dead if the clockeeper stopped the clock at the exact moment the ball is dead. If they did that, the game would take eternity.
