The bigger gaffe

I was watching that too, and the play you're referring to may have cost KSU 2 seconds (at MOST), but the play before was about 6-7 seconds off. The chains were nowhere near the line, and the box wasn't set either. R saw the ball set and started the clock (and they seemed to be in a hurry to do this too) - but didn't even look at the chains.

However, the bigger gaff cost KSU about 20 seconds. OSU had the ball with a running clock, and KSU out of timeouts. They got set, and were waiting for the clock to say 1 second before snapping. The TE on the right side committed a false start with about 5 seconds left on the playclock. They flagged it and walked it. Then THEY RESTARTED THE CLOCK! This ran off another 25 seconds that OSU should have had the benefit of running off.
