3.6 not 2.8 secs left and bad stuff happens

I agree with Chuck; something has to come off the clock. the official had definite knowledge that that clock did not start.
The sequence was throw in
Touch
Out of bounds
That is the definite knowledge.

if it was touched and then rolled 65 ft it would be a longer time than touch then OOB immediately. I figure given right next to sideline .3-.5 would be sufficient

I can almost bet why the clock did not start. The timer was watching T with the throwin and the chop instead of watching the ball. Personally this is a situation where we should discuss the throw-in with each other and the timer. In a tied ball game team wants to score. We should anticpate long pass and help timer...

I also agree with Chuck we need this in the rules....
