To the original post- good play. But if the clock was at 0.9 and started with the ready, there's no way they'd have enough time after the spike to run another play. Game over. If it still shows 0.1 left I'd explain that the clock operator didn't start it on the ready and get the heck out of Dodge.
Why spike it? Because we've taken the original post and turned it into a discussion on internal clock processors and split-second timing at the end of a game.
I've seen clocks that switch to tenths under a minute left. Someone probably saw this in basketball and for some reason deemed it necessary for a football scoreboard.
