I remember as a kid encountering huskers fans at the 1985 and 1987 sugar bowls and they were the nicest, most knowledgeable football fans I could ever remember ...

That's been my experience every time I've been around them; both at their place and bowl games. Every school has jerk fans, but with the Huskers, the classy ones outnumber the jerks by 100,000:1

Either

one second is not egregious

or

every time there's a clock error, it should be reviewed

Since you didn't quote the applicable rule, I have no doubt you don't know the definition of egregious as it relates to the rule.
FYI it is conspicuous.

Also, in case you aren't aware, clock errors are corrected in many games each year.

Sound like you and Bleeding Purple are long on butthurt over the call and short on knowledge.

Should the clock stop when the football strikes an object that is out of ground (including the ground) or upon the referee's whistle blowing it dead?

---

For all plays; not just a pass OOB. The ball is dead by rule; the whistle is merely an indicator the play is already over. The only time a whistle kills the play is if it's an inadvertent whistle.

Specifically on the play in question: The ball is dead when it strikes anything OOB....player, ground, official, down marker; stopping the clock.

Dave Parry agrees. He reviewed the film and said they did exactly what they should have done. The crew missed some calls during the game, but they got this one RIGHT.

If they kick the ball into the end zone, they win the game, simple as that.

I have no clue why EVERYONE assumes an automatic win if Nebraska doesn't kick it out of bounds.

As the writer in 1 of those links said, there were 24 other incompletions in that game where that extra second ticked off and they did nothing about it. They should all be treated the same way.

True.

So if you're favorite team was Nebraska, or that happened to whoever your favorite team is, you would be cool with it?

the way texas was moving the ball up and down the field at will against suh and the nebraska D, the extra 20 yards meant nothing, you're right ..

---

So it was automatic? No doubt, Texas has ZERO chance if the ball isn't kicked out of bounds??

Kinda funny considering Texas got 19 yards on 1 play, then another 15 on the penalty.

If the drive started at the 20, that 34 yards STILL puts them inside the 50 with, what, about 1 minute left.

Yea, victory was automatic, LOL.

Texas ran 4 plays in the final 1:44. 4 plays. Plus the FG. If Nebraska kicks it in bounds, I assume that Texas plays the clock much better and runs a few more plays. So I don't think it's a given at all that Nebraska wins if the don't kick the ball OB. But their chances are much better, obviously. I never thought I'd see such poor clock management from a top-notch coach again.

And on what basis do you say that?

Oh, and to the guy saying that what I'd said had already been disproved... false, considering that at the time I made that claim it hadn't been disproved.
