I've just been doing some skimming on the first page here through the threads, and I haven't seen anyone mention the deal with the timeouts at the end. Feel free to merge this thread with another if I missed it.

Can somebody tell me what happened? To me, it looked like we called the last two timeouts with the game clock already stopped.:huh:

the game clock was stopped, but with the new clock rule, it would have started again because the game clock was outside of 2:00 to go.

It was the correct thing to do, given the new rules.

i asked same question i guess we were both looking at wrong game. I thought injury timeouts werent counted until under 2 mins.

It didn't matter. 3rd and chavis struck again. It was irrelevant at that point what they did with those timeouts.

I think what happened is this- we had 2 TO, there was an injury, there was more than 2:00 left so the clock would have restarted before the snap so Fulmer calls TO. The other play I think the Auburn guy went out of bounds with 2:02 left on the clock, with the new rules the clock would have restarted before the snap so Fulmer has to use his last TO. If the auburn guy goes out of bounds at 1:59 the clock would not have restarted before the snap.

It was as the announcers tried to explain and the reason that in the SEC (NCAA) their are 10% fewer plays this season than last. It all has to do with the new clock rules!

Ok, thanks for the info.

I realize that, even with last year's rules, we would have needed another big punt return to win, because Crapton sure wasn't going lead us down the field in that situation.

I'm not watching another game until I hear Crapton is on the bench. He simply cannot get it done when it counts.

Creer should be more involved in the offense, and they need to run plays with Jones in the QB position even more often. Sure, he might not be able to throw it reliably more than 10 or 15 yards, but neither can Crapton. At least Jones can make plays with his feet.

The other team's offense scored once, and we lost. That speaks volumes for our complete ineptitude to execute on offense.

Sorry, getting off topic. Just so irritated right now....

both of the out bounds clock restarting and the 40 second clock are killing great comebacks in the college game

I don't see the point of the new rules. If the game is on TV, they just show more commercials. The real time duration of the game really hasn't changed much, as far as I can see. It's just that now we have less football and more commercials.

They're averaging anywhere from ten to fifteen fewer plays per game. They've shortened the game alot.

I don't contest that the football gameplay time is shorter, but my observation is that the real time of the game from start to finish has not been significantly shortened because there are just more commercials now.

If the game clock was going to start after a game injury time out then the 40 second clock should have been running before the game clock started.

The new clock rules ruin the end of the game. There is really no 2-minute drill that is effective.

You can run off over two minutes taking a knee if the defense is out of time outs.
