JBC, welcome to the forum. Glad you've joined us.
I don't think anybody here is trying to pin the outcome of the game on the officials. Nobody thinks that the refs cost Clemson the game. But we
are trying to figure out the best way to handle this bad situation and what to do if something similar should ever happen to us.
Even if the officials had taken more time off the clock, Duke still might've scored by running a different play. The real question is what we are supposed to do when the clock doesn't start properly.
