Mich St / Indiana

Interesting timing issue to end the half going on (CBS). Clock shut off with 3.5 and Mich St continued their drive. First shot was missed, then the officials killed the play.

Ed Hightower got a stop watch out and timed the drive. They ended the half.

I don't understand how the clock can just shut off. I mean, when it happens in one of my games at some Jr Hi out in the burbs somewhere, it's just par for the course. But Indiana/Michigan State should have clocks that work. Seems ridiculous.

Good game for Mich St fans, though, eh? What's with Indiana?

Yeeeah, great game for Michigan St. fans.

Indiana just looks U-G-L-Y!

More clock issues in the second half. I believe now it's just stopping on it's own.

Wow! What a steal!!! Unbelievable....

I thought Indiana might be able to get back into it, but it doesn't look like it.

An official's voice can stop the clock too. It was recommended that all officials take the whistle out to do preventive officiating.
