I'm sure this has been posted before but I found myself surfing through youtube tonight and the 09 NU Texas game (end of the game) pops up on my "what to watch" thing. I remember the opening week of Miami and FSU they had a similar situation in the game that came down to the last play. Here is the snapshot I took of the youtube video FSU Miami And the video of it.
Why did one game put a second back on the clock and the other one did not? I know there are the conspiracies of making sure the conference had a rep in the title game etc...but seriously. Rules are rules. Same scenario, different ruling.
