Question then.
If the ball is thrown out of bounds, doesn't the clock stop end THEN, when it crosses the line, and not when the ball hits the ground? Then I can see the 1 second.
This is why they were mad.
This is the rule on limiting reviewable plays:
Quote:
Limitations on Reviewable Plays
ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable.
However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those
involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes
fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c
and d, 12-3-4-b and 12-3-5-a).
That is the crux of the matter. No one will dispute that video showed 1 sec as the ball hit out of bounds, thus making an incomplete pass.
But the clock never stops precisely at the same time the ball hits the ground. There is always delay. So, the question remains...does what happens in every game, a 1 second delay between the ball falling incomplete and the clock stopping, suddenly rise to the level of egregious error?
Apparently it does, when you have TX refs favoring the home town team and the Big 12 needs a team in the NC game.

Yeah you got robbed, hell yeah NU should be going to the title!
I like the way you think.:smile2:
How often does the clock stop IMMEDIATELY once the ball hits the ground?
Who cares??? The rule is that it stops when the ball hits the ground. They may not worry about that extra second that ticks off in the third quarter, but with 1 second left in the conference championship, it matters. The call was right.
No doubt the call was right.
Just wondering how often the clock is stopped immediately when the ball hits the ground.
The game consists of 3,600 seconds, but the final 1 carries much more weight.
The Pelini brothers should be pissed about the way their kicker launched the ball out of bounds, thereby allowing Texas to start their final drive at the 40 yard line. Or they should be pissed about the way Asante horse-collared Shipley to give Texas 15 more yards on the final drive.
Nebraska has no one to blame for losing that game except themselves.

don't leave us hanging! :lol:This is sort of what I was trying to express. Before I get called a fusker lover, I agree the second should be on the clock, I just find this interesting:

Here's exactly what happened: There were 24 incomplete passes in the Texas-Nebraska game. On every one of them — every single one (I know, I went back and checked in slow motion) — the game clock ticked off that second, and sometimes another. That's how it always works in this and every other game: There's a bit of a human element (the eye sending the message to the brain, the brain relaying it to the finger on the clock button, the electronic impulses prompting the clock to stop). And so, when Colt McCoy inexplicably decided to run a play with six seconds remaining instead of calling timeout or, well, showing any sense of urgency, he

So what you're saying is that Texas should have had at least 25 seconds left? Goddamn cheating fuskers!!! :lol:

You are correct, I hope there was orange slices and juice boxes for all.
Now it is time to grab the lunch boxes and get to work on the next game.

Is it just me? I could easily believe that Pelini is just one major meltdown waiting to happen. I mean the kind of meltdown that harms his school and potentially gets him canned, a la Woody Hayes.
You may not like it, but Slade is right. We talked it over right after the game last night. The fusckers ****ed themselved with a ****ty kick off (big mistake) and then a very stupid horse collar (even bigger mistake). Too many mistakes on a night when Texas was very beatable. NU's offense let the D down as they have all year ala Iowa St.
No tears for the Nibblets on this one. If you all want to whine, look inside at what your team could have done instead of crying about getting jobbed.
Nebraska, A lot of Nebraska fans, and the Nebraska coaches are a huge ****ing joke! The Pelini's are a bunch of assholes!
