Game Thread: ***Texas vs. Huskers***

You know, I'm not so sure it's going to be Texas. After that performance I wouldn't be surprised if they get jumped by TCU.

I wouldn't jump TCU over Texas since Texas had to play a 13th game.

Agreed. It should be Texas, and I think it will be.

I pulled for Texas but wow Nebraska got screwed big time!!!

How so?

 

[WishIwasInBama]

What I ant to know is why in the world was Nebraska not going for the all out block on the final kick? they kept a guy back for some reason

 

[Tide1986]

How so?

They weren't screwed (I assume you feel the same way)...there was clearly 1 second left on the clock.

Time on the clock can be reviewed... The call was right and TX won the game.

 

[TiderB]

How so?

Let me ask you this, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but if that would have been the play to end the first half, would it have been reviewed?

I'm editing this response because I just thought about it more. I guess it's the officials' right to review it whenever they want, so if they don't review it going into the half then I guess that's just bad officiating. In other words, I side with you.

Agree with your edit...and as a note, all plays in the FBS are reviewed.

Equally as bad clock management as Les Miles/LSU.

Mack Brown nearly put himself on a hot seat and McCoy lost some Heisman votes.

Agreed and I am not sure the fat lady has sung on the 1 second decision. Yes, in replay, the ball was out of bounds with 1 second left but that is in slow motion replay. That timeout is a judgement call. What's next? hundredths of seconds like basketball?

More to the point, I don't think the replay rules allow officials to review when the clock ran out. The only time they are allowed to review the clock is when a ruling on the field is reversed--which was not the case on that play.

ETA: OK, it might be allowed:

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 and 12-3-5-a and 12-3-4-b).

Settles that as far as legality but it seems to me, if they are going to stop the clock the moment the ball either crosses the plane or touches out of bounds, they need to do it for EVERY out of bounds play, not just in order to give Texas one more (unearned) tick. I consider that a judgement call and highly unfair to the team that had won fair and square according to the refs judgement on the field and the clock operator's reaction.

Normally, the clock runs until the official signals timeout and the clock operator can respond. Surely, that takes at least one second. Nebraska could probably review the game and find half a minute in such clock errors, maybe come back and get one more FG. :biggrin2:

That is my concern with what they did.

Agreed...don't know anywhere where it says the time stops when the ball hits the ground; it stops when the official tells the clock operator to stop it. From the time the ball hit the ground, the ref blows the whistle and waves, the clock operator sees it, well, that takes more than the less-than-one-second that was left on the clock.
