ABC Announcers in Colo. vs. Neb.

[buckrog64]

Well, the refs are getting dragged through the coals by the ABC announcers who must know all the rules.

If you didn't see it, Nebraska has a long pass play, downed in bounds and the clock is stopped with two seconds left in the half. The ball is blown RFP and by the time the ball is intentionally grounded, the clock has run out and the refs rule the first half is concluded. The announcers are talking about how Nebraska got hosed out of three possible points.

Hmmm, I thought that once the RFP (the clock would then start) the offense would have to be set for one second, and then time for the play to take place. Seems like two seconds could easily run off with all that had to happen.

Maybe the clock offers tenths of seconds at the stadium, but the network didn't show it.

Maybe I'm missing something.
