I agree with putting the 1 second back up on the clock, but was it against the rules? I saw this on an ESPN blog response.

Big 12 instant replay rules section 3: You can't review a play for time on the clock unless a play on the field is reversed. Because no play was reversed, the refs were not allowed to put time back on the clock. The play clock was at 0 and the referees added 1 second back on the game clock against Big 12 rules

 
I knew that rule, and explained to my wife, and you know what, Bo know's the rule too, THAT'S WHY HE WAS EXTREMELY PISSED. He knows what happened. Funny how a texas clock man didnt stop it early for sure.

Will someone please post the official rules specific to this play? I am really interested in seeing how it is fully written...

 
corrolary to rule 3: if you have paid the officials enough money, they can screw you any way they want

What did you expect the Big 12 refs don't know the rules especially when Texas plays.

 
And before someone jumps in saying it was the right call regardless .. the clock is to run until the official blows his whistle to signal the play is over in that situation. If the referee doesn't blow his whistle, the clock is to continue to run. That is NOT on the play clock operator.

It doesn't matter in the least though. We could complain about this for the rest of our lives, but the B12 will not do anything. Heck, this might send us an apology letter, if that means anything to anyone. (insert roll eyes emoticon here)

What if any, ramifications can come from this. The outcome of the game wouldn't be over turned, but could refs lose their jobs if this is true and Bo files a complaint?

 
I might be in the minority here, but I think the most important thing is that it was called correctly. There was a second left when the ball hit the ground.

How would we feel if the roles were reversed?

 
They may not ever overturn the game, BUT JUST IMAGINE IF THEY DID OHHHHH MYYYYY. ESPN would have a hay day.
