What does this mean???

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)
If the Big XII has any sense at all, there is millions of dollars on the line....

If we are winners, there are 2 BCS teams in the Big XII, otherwise just 1....MILLIONS....

 
Rule seems pretty plain and simple.

Do you think it might be overturned after the game?

Probably not, unless Big 12 officials really want that $4.5 million bonus to send both Texas and Nebraska to BCS bowl games.

If true, the refs really screwed up. Will be interesting to see how this is handled. I cannot see the Big 12 taking away what's been given, but all the same, all the same...

I would love to hear some explanation here.

 
I hate to pop bubbles and stuff, but:

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).

(Da Rulezes)

Pretty sure they got that call right...pass interference and holding need to be emphasized next season. What is PI? What isn't? No one seems to know. When is a ball uncatchable? How can there be 0 holding calls on either team (i think) when two of the best D-lines in the country are playing? I also caught an offensive facemask that wasn't called on a Texas player. Not blaming the refs at all, but officiating seems to be getting poorer and poorer every year. But then again... dedhoarse

I like the other rule better.

Suh was tackled on a play near the end of the game. Unbelievable.

Is the end of the play on an incomplete pass the responsibility of the official or the game clock operator? if it was the operator's responsibility then I guess that might constitute egrigous error.. but if it's on the official, how can a 1 second call be called egrigous?

Also... is the superimposed gameclock in the replay 100% accurate? I hear rumors of people on the sidelines near it seeing the clock at 0.

 
I think that Suh might have been tackled on the play where Mccoy threw the ball out of bounds perhaps. Or, there should have been a penalty at some point. I couldn't pick up when KFAB said it was happening.

Not to mention Texas' coach going, "I tried to signal for a time out, and it was so loud the officials didn't hear me".

Wait, the Refs didn't have someone on the sideline watching the Texas Coach? Not to mention, Mccoy or somebody on Offense could have called the Time Out too. I really wish things would have backfired against Texas.

What is amazing is I think one of the people on ABC or was it ESPN, says, "This brings back memories of when Washington State begged for the 1 second against Michigan in the 1998 Rose Bowl".

I'm sorry, Washington State Begged, and they called it ball game, when The QB spiked the ball with 1 second remaining.

Imagine if Texas had to hand back the Big XII Championship stuff.

One thing is for sure, a lot of people who bet on Texas covering the spread lost a lot of money today.

 
Joel Klatts on Fox who was standing on the sideline says he was watching the clock it went to zero and ball landed at his feet on the sideline He said this on Fox tv after the game I may file a class action lawsuit challenging the Texas win

Walt Anderson, Big 12 coordinator of football officials, explained that the timing issue was reviewable and that the replay official determined there was one second left when McCoy's pass land out of bounds.
