After reading the NF case book on timing mistakes and corrections, I have come to the following conclusion. The official must have definite knowledge of the time in question. He obviously knows that some time has gone by, but the question is how much. Since A2 came up with the ball as the play was being blown dead, we basically have to give the ball back to A at the point where the play was blown dead. You would want to err on the side of caution and not take too much time off, so 1 second would be the minimum, and I think that is what I would do. I would give A the ball at the spot where it was blown dead and put 5 seconds on the clock. How'd I do? This is one of the toughest one's I've ever seen!
