So I know a guy who used to work productions at LSU games. There can 100% be a delay in the clock we see and the clock on the field. Happens all the time.

The refs use discretion when there is actually a snap.
The rule of thumb is they’re watching the play clock live from the field. When it hits 00 they look to see if the balls been snapped, usually giving the offense another half second or so

They cleared this with the refs. They were prepared to run a play but the refs told them they would allow them to go to the 2 min warning so that’s what they did.
Well, this is the problem. You can't just make a deal with the refs and expect to be given carte Blanche to do what you want.

They didn’t “make a deal” with the refs. They confirmed with them that the play clock and game clock were blended and didn’t need to run a play, as is normal in this situation.

Every team gets that extra second when the clock hits 0 on your tv screen.
Even the bad teams.

Personally I've always hated how delay of game is treated so subjectively by the officials. It just leaves too much discretion and opens doors for uneven officiating.
I've been watching football all my life. Sometimes delay of game is called half a second after the clock expires, sometimes they let it go. We've even seen times where the refs let it go for a full two seconds or more and the defense is pointing at the clock begging for the call. Sometimes it's even treated differently multiple times within the same game.
Why should the offense be given such leeway? I understand maybe back in the day when the tech wasn't there, but that hasn't been the case for a long time. Baseball has a pitch clock now and the umpires wear a buzzer on their wrist that vibrates when the pitch clock expires. If the pitcher hasn't started their motion then it's a violation. There's no reason why football can't do the same, they just don't want to.
Look, I'm not in favor of additional penalties or anything, but I also don't like how completely arbitrary it is when the refs DO and DO NOT call it. It's a clock, it's not like it's subjective. If the clock strikes :00 and you haven't snapped the ball it should be a penalty.

They could easily have a ref in the booth with 2 side-by-side monitors. One on the clock. One on the ball. If this ref sees an infraction, he hits a button that buzzes the ref. Ref blows the play dead.
Now, the booth ref could be wrong on occasion by nanoseconds, but it would clear up 99% of this with ease.

They could easily do it by replay, too.
Allow the play to run if close, replay immediately checks clock. If penalty, call down to refs on field and a penalty is assessed. If no penalty, the game moves along without stopping.
