Did play clock expire?

Is this getting any play on the highlight shows? Did it come up on the post game show? Why didn't Coach Jones ask for a replay?

It was on Sport Down South (SDS). Can that be reviewed? If it can, why wasn't it?

The ref watches the play clock, once it hits 0, he looks to see if the ball is in motion. He reached for his flag, saw the ball in motion, so he didn't throw it.

Florida screws everyone. They let their people murder others and claim self-defense after they've murdered them and can't respond.

Their people also commit the most f'ed up crimes I've ever seen on a daily basis. Take 5 of their most f'ed up crimes in a week and it will be the top 5 most f'ed crimes in a month for the entire country. Florida is a s***hole with sand and water next to it. Other than that, it's a s***hole.

Which is wrong. The ball was not in motion when the clock hit zero. The clock hit zero BEFORE the ball was kicked. Now I know there was no one play that wins/loses games but that was a big play.

I dunno. Seems like this should be reviewable and applied after the play. I hesitate to say that, though, because I know UT will get effed the year that the rule goes into effect.

Sigh. When the play clock hits 0, it signifies the switch from 1 sec to 0.99 sec. The moment it hits zero there's one whole second left.

The clock has to hit 0 before the ref looks for the ball in motion. Live view the snap was probably 0.25 - 0.5 seconds late, but by the time the clock hit 0, and the ref looked for the snap, the ball was moving.

Sadly, that's the rule, and the SEC will back the refs decision as being correct

This is correct. The refs eyes can't look at 2 places at once and he can't stop time and freeze frame to see the play like you can on tv.

The play is also not reviewable because they have decided that they are willing to live with whatever delay there is between clock hitting zero and the ref seeing that the ball isn't snapped. Yes, teams get a little bit more than the play clock, this isn't new, its always been called this way.

It just seems like we're keeping a subjective process in place unnecessarily. The official can't look at two places at one time. That makes sense. So, wouldn't a more effective process be to add a buzzer? When the play clock hits zero, a pager (or similar device) on the official's belt buzzes. The official no longer has to look at the play clock, only the ball.

Edit: With the way the system is currently, we're beholden to the speed with which the official looks from the play clock to the center. I have to believe there's a better way to regulate the play clock.

When the clock hits 5 or 10 secs the back judge could use the arm motion like basketball officials.

Low tech with little change in the current system? Sounds like a winner to me. Of course, that means it'll never get implemented...

Someone help me. I just got a video showing the play clock hit 0 before the center snapped the ball on Fl game winning field goal. Is this a hoax or did the refs once again cost TN a game? Was at game, but where we sit I can't see the clocks. Please tell me it's not so; I haven't recovered from the phantom touchdown years ago.

Yes it happened. I went ape**** but no one else noticed.

ball wasn't snapped at 0, but it didn't affect the outcome of the game. There were 10 other plays that would have possibly made a difference, UT made zero of those plays as well.

So, it's just 1 of the many problems on the field today.

If true it is a BS ruling that has helped Gators win 2 tight games this season.

If basketball can review game clock/shot clock then football should review play clock especially on all scoring plays. Jmo.

But the damn ball wasn't in motion, unless he waited at least a full second between looking at the clock and the ball being snapped. Not sure when this whole thing started with how they call delay of game. Like everything else with football rules/calls the last few years, it's complete crap.

It was just the game winning points being scored, but didn't affect the outcome of the game?

Interesting perspective

Think basketball shot clock. Zero is zero. Shot clock violation. Delay of game

BS. It has not always been called this way. Delay of game used to mean when the clock hit zero. It no longer does. Been watching football for 40 years and it has definitely changed.

Years of watching football has proved that the "ref watches the clock until it hits zero, then looks down to the ball" is the rule. Over the years, that rule has helped and hurt every single team in the sport. It's a rule that won't get changed anytime soon.

Also, judging by how well that ball was hit, he could have done that from 10-15 yards deeper and nothing would have changed.

It's called by the back judge, so the ball and the clock are in his field of vision. The one today was right on the borderline of flag/no flag.
