Scratchtown Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 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 MiamiAnd 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. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Maybe...If FSU had thrown it out of bounds...But another second was not warranted in this case... Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Michigan vs Washington State Rose Bowl, there was clearly 1 second left and the refs ended the game. Wisconsin vs Oregon rose bowl ended under similar circumstances where the refs said the game ended on a spike. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I have read the specific rule, and from what I get from it, is that it is up to the refs discrection to review for added time. In the case of 2009 NU - UT game, upon the review it showed their should have been at least one second. However just a little more air under McCoy's throw and it's over. Well and maybe a couple touchdowns by our offense.... Quote Link to comment

Abdullah the Butcher Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Now you're not even allowed to spike the ball with 3 or fewer seconds left in a half, stupid rule by the NCAA, probably added it because of major f#*k ups and close calls. Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Simple solution would be to be ahead by nine points with a few seconds left. Then the refs can add a second to the clock.... and it won't matter. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 One second left. 1990 sCUm vs. Mizzery. 5th down game. I believe Greg Burks crew was in charge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQJT8q0MMwQ Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well and maybe a couple touchdowns by our offense.... Or if the refs had bothered to review Texas' touchdown where McCoy never crossed the goal line. 2 Quote Link to comment

Well and maybe a couple touchdowns by our offense.... It's been years since I read the rule but I thought there was a caveat to what you said above. I thought in order to adjust the clock for judgement calls like when to stop the clock after a play there had to be something reversed in the play. Like if someone stepped out and originally the play wasn't called until later would revert back to the time when he stepped out. There were so many what it's in that last drive alone. Wonder what the Bo haters would be like if that game went slightly different. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well and maybe a couple touchdowns by our offense.... Or if the refs had bothered to review Texas' touchdown where McCoy never crossed the goal line. This was the point and time where my uncle let me know that "we were about to get royally screwed by the Big XII". And the problem with adding :01 back to the clock is that it went against what the officials had done all game long--if the officials were consistent in doing this, then I would be fine with adding it back on...and really, there would be something like :59 left in the game. But since the officials saw fit to alter what they were doing all game long on the last snap to accommodate Texass...well, that's where I have problems. Of course, there were problems with officiating all game long--for example, the two chop blocks by Texass by the same player against Suh that were almost back to back--any other crew in a non-Texass game would have ejected that player outright on the second block... 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 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. I dunno the answer to that. But if it's any consolation, the Whorns lost seven games the next year. And they've sucked every since. Karma is a bitch. Quote Link to comment

Saunders Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Guys. It was 5 years ago. So? At least it's a changeup in the normal topics. Quote Link to comment
Junior Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Adding the :01 back to the clock was the correct call. Now if you want to be mad at someone, lets start with the free kick out of bounds and follow it up with the horsecollar tackle that gave them a ton of free yardage. 1 Quote Link to comment
