Assuming the play clock is official. We did not get the last play off by about 2 full seconds. Should have been a dead ball penalty and we run the final play from the 6.
Another problem with us getting the play off, but in this case it may have worked out in our favor.
From the 6 the option would have worked. :smile:
The announcers said there was some sort of clock error too... Said that both the game clock and play clock were messed up...
I wonder if there would have been any complaining from Colorado if we ended up getting in on that play. I don't think they could have reviewed the play, but after what happened last year in Ames, I'm sure the Buffs would have been extra upset.
imagine the drama if we were to punch that end after it should have been a penalty. The clocks must of been messed up because we didn't get the ball snapped for a longed time after it expired.
Had the officials called us for delay of game,.......would not CU have declined? Game over? I know a game cannot end on a defensive penalty but it can end a offensive penalty.
I believe delay of game is a dead-ball foul so they wouldn't have the option to decline. Yes, the game can end on an offesive penalty.Quote:

Or am I just imagining that?
I hate to bring this up again, but I will. How many coaches would have said to their O-Lines "get a one yard push and we win the game" and then ran a QB sneek? 99% ? And of that 99%, how many teams win that game with that play? 85%?
I still don't understand the call. I just don't. I want to believe that our coaches are the right guys for the job but THAT one call is driving me crazy. I really need to stop thinking about it.
Sorry for the rant.
Andy Reid didn't do it last night...Quote:
