Tx Mike, FR (or anyone else that wants to comment),
Let me try and make another point about this and being a non-professional in this area may point out my inexperience but if the clock is stopped after a delay of game penalty because "time was a factor and it could be argued Texas was trying to unfairly consume time", is not the opposite true in that Nebraska was trying to fairly conserve time by taking a time out and then because of the penalty during the course of the play the clock starts again thereby removing the effect of the time-out?
Does this situation hold for holding penalties, illegal procedure.... I guess this may be one of those areas where the situation is so rare that nobody anticipated the possible situation and the ultimate ramification.
