I can't believe this is actually an argument...

But it's obvious that OSU "consumed playing time by tactics obviously unfair", and the situation was one in which "the fould is by the team ahead in the score."

Are you really telling me that if faced with a game situation where the offense is trying to run out the clock, but will be unable to, and they run down the majority of the 25-second clock before committing a dead-ball foul, that you will wind the clock again?!?!?!

By this logic a team could "accidentally" run off 3-4 minutes very easily at the end of a game (or Saban could have simply committed a false start last night on purpose, thus avoiding the need to punt).

PS - I didn't have any vested interest in either team, and was, in fact, rooting for OSU due to picking them in my office pool... but it was blatantly obvious to me that they got screwed.
