Actually, there were 2 seconds on the clock when he snapped the ball.

If you watch the video, when Leavitt's knee touches the ground the clock still shows 1 second. By rule the clock automatically stops with the change of possession because it was 4th down.

I didn't watch. Why was it ridiculous? If there was a second left

We got the ball with 1:25 left and they had 1 timeout.

Yes we did but we didn't. We took the last knee with about 16 seconds left

Horrible take. Tremendous respect to take a knee with the lead.

That's what I thought. I remember seeing the QB not drop to a knee, but run

There were two seconds but if you watch the play clock, too, you see the game

The Officials can't do anything about the game clock starting late.

I never said they could. But that's why Kenny's mad.

How does a reversed call, after a review, become your "worst call of the night"?

I admit that I'm not an official, but it's hard to see how this is not targeting

And officials looked at that video and maybe more and disagreed with you enough

The clock did not start at the snap, so that should have been considered. 2 sec

Thanks. I should have noticed the game clock started late.

I just went back to the original broadcast and snap to knee down was 2.26 second

We don't know if the game clock started late, but if there were 2 full seconds..

It took 2.26 seconds. Game would be over if clock started on time

I just measured a few more times and all my times clocked in btwn 2.01 and 2.26

The fact that in 2024 college football only uses full seconds is pretty silly.

This is where a more precise NBA-style clock under 2 minutes makes sense
