End of Iowa Game today

[mikesears]

Clock is stopped following any legal scrimmage kick and started on the snap. Doesn't matter if it is blocked or not. As long as they kicked it, the clocks stops following the play.

Thanks Mike...Does the clock stop once the kick comes off the foot? after it crosses the line of scrimmage? I'm sorry if this is a "stupid" question.

Once the ball becomes dead. If it was blocked and somebody recovered it whlie laying on the ground that would kill the clock. I didn't see the game and haven't had a chance to see replays so I really don't know what happened. All I know is that UNI got two chances and didn't make either.

It's a scrimmage kick. The clock stops when the ball becomes dead. It is the same as a punt.

Thanks Gentleman...I apologize for my ignorance of football. The ball was recovered after the first blocked FG by UNI (actually Iowa ran away from it)

The call was definitely the right call. I was wondering about the clock status. There was 1 second left on the clock after the first kick (started with :07 not :06) so it was very close. Smart move by UNI. Too bad they couldn't convert.

In Fed rules, the clock would start on the ready.

Are you sure the clock would stop at all? Do you have a rule reference for that?

I think the first FG attempt was on 1st down so the clock would not have stopped.

Players are taught to run away from a blocked FG when it will deliver a win, we usually use Leon lett and his thanksgiving day blunder be a good example!!

Only bad things happen when big lineman try to pick up a loose ball.

Headlinesman or Line Judge in 4 and 5 man mechanics has the line of scrimmage and determines wether the kick crosses the line of scrimmage.

It looks like they got it right!!

I learned something this morning about this call. As some of you that watched the game live would have noticed a VERY long delay by the replay official reviewing the play to make sure the ball did not cross the LOS. Well, as I found out this morning from press box personnel, this was because the replay official was looking up the run and literally reading it to the ref on field There was a reason they got this ruling right.

It's funny because I thought it was an extended time to just be making sure the ball did not cross the LOS.

That's why the L stays on the LOS until he is certain that the ball has crossed it. This is a perfect example of why we do that (5-man).

We have the H stay on the LOS and the L goes downfield at the snap.

Does the NCAA rule on field goal attempts reference B's LOS, or just an expanded neutral zone, or "vicinity of the neutral zone"? It would be a heck of a thing if they fuzzed the neutral zone for scrimmage kicks generally, but left it precise when they made the rule for field goal attempts (which was about 30 years ago, maybe 25).
