@wilnerhotline USC fan here. Not sure why we’d expect GD to be in LA for a 12 v 20 game instead of TN for a 1 v 14 game. Plus, with Herbstreit calling the game, it only makes sense so he can do both.

@RyanKartje I confess that today’s game was my fault. I forgot to put my USC flag out this morning.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@PenguinOfTroy To be fair, I thought we were particularly slow on the one that prompted ULA’s coach to get a penalty. I commented that we lined with 12 people, and then the 12th started jogging off.

@ShotgunSpr I don’t know they showed a better angle on TV. But in the stadium replay that didn’t even seem close.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@LegendaryLB66 @ralphDrussoATH My theory is that there's often a delay on long 1st down passes. Rule 3-3-2-e says that when a team gets a 1st down within the last 2 minutes of a half "the game clock is stopped on an official's signal." Officials weren't in the picture for this play so we can't see the signal.

@Trevor__Porath @wilnerhotline I totally forgot about the “State” mandate. 🙂 on further review, Tech will have to be relegated to the Mountain West.

@AHoosierCheese @NicoleAuerbach Rule 8-3-2-a: When a TD is scored at the end of a game, "If the scoring team is ahead by one or two points, they have the option to forego the try."

@CriticaIity1 @PeterDennis7 The clock used by replay was the official game clock on the stadium scoreboard. The problem is that the replay system’s video feed of the clock was not in sync with NBC’s. (I suspect that NBC’s was more accurate.)

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@HeyBlueBaseball @Mitten_Football Yes, I think this implies that NBC’s video feed of the clock was not exactly in synch with the replay system’s video feed of the clock. But I doubt we’ll ever be 100% certain that the replay feed was correct. Seems more likely that the delayed feed (here, replay) would be wrong.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@AlexFarmartino Good comments. I suspect a wide shot showing a light won’t be helpful in football, though. To be in the same frame, it won’t be zoomed in enough to properly review the play. Works in BB because of the small court and ability to frame the shooter and backboard clock.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@Mitten_Football Was the camera used by the replay officials and the camera used by NBC looking at the same in-stadium clock? I assume so.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@BruceFeldmanCFB Has NBC (or the Big Ten) said where the image on the right is generated? I find it odd that it’s made to look like an old-timey stadium clock (with bars making up the digits) if it’s a computer image for internal use. The words in the upper right are not that way.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@BenScottStevens I think a next step in the investigation (assuming @bigten and @NBCSports aren’t already doing this) is to run the Big Ten feed (with clock) side by side with the broadcast clock to see when they ceased to be the exact same.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@slmandel The fact that they didn’t try someone other than Underwood at some point suggests that Michigan’s QB depth is non-existent.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@FightOnRusty Hope he doesn’t end up like Malachi Nelson (now on his fourth team, and still not starting).

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@4thandsaturday Here’s one from a few years ago. TCU took a safety, clearly with 1 second left. Game was declared over, and it wasn’t even reviewed by replay. TCU should have kicked to Texas for the final play of the game.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@CharlesRobinson @WillieWonka1966 That’s true if the refs on the field declared that time had expired. I don’t remember whether the refs said what their ruling was (and haven’t gone back to review whether they said one way or the other).

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@JoeConchaTV What was the ruling on the field? Rule 12-3-6-d says the clock can be adjusted by replay if there is “clear and obvious video evidence that time should have remained on the game clock when the ball became dead.”

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@slmandel Rule 4-2-3-a says a ball not in player control is out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, an official, or anything else that is out of bounds. So it appears to me that the ball became dead only when it touched the out-of-bounds WMU defender.

[Jack Tedford @JNT_IV]

@slmandel Explanation #1 - The replay official’s clock has tenths of seconds, and there was 0:00.1 on the clock when the play concluded.

Explanation #2 - A Michigan judge issued an emergency injunction requiring the refs to put one second back on.
