Texas v. Nebraska end of game

[john_faz]

Does anyone know the correct ruling on whether the amount of time left in a half/game can be reviewed by replay officials?

I recently heard a Big Ten official speak and I am pretty sure he said that the time left on the clock is not reviewable. Maybe he was refering to a play a few years ago and the rule has since changed.

Are there specific references in the NCAA rulebok that speak to which kinds of plays are reviewable and for what purposes?

The replay official may correct egregious errors, including those
involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable.

I guess eliminating Texas' national title hopes falls under the "egregious rule". Otherwise, correcting a one second or less error would not be necessary, in my opinion.

I disagree. The size of the time discrepancy is less important than when it occurs.

9:03 vs 9:02 in the 3rd quarter is not a big discrepancy. :01 vs :00 in the game is big, regardless of whether national title hopes are on the line.

Did the Big 12 hire some former Russian basketball refs for this game?

Regardless of the technicalities, it is hard to avoid the general perception that "the fix was in."

Maybe by bitter Nebraska fans. Replay shows pretty definitively that there was 1 second left on the clock when the ball hit out of bounds. The Big XII didn't force Nebraska to kick the ball out of bounds nor to commit a crucial horse collar foul on the last drive.

Then why in the 4th quarter did the officials get the call wrong on the kickoff return when they ruled the ball dead at the Texas 1 yard line?

Fix? Please. It was obvious that there was one second on the clock when the ball landed OOB.

Hmm. If "the fix was in" why would a Big 12 crew want Texas to win. By Texas winning and going to the National Championship that took away any oppurtunity that they may have had in getting to officiate the National Championship game. As it is now, the Big 12 and SEC is out of the running on officiating the game.

I wonder how much hand-wringing there would have been had the situation been reversed, with Nebraska needing the extra second on the clock but the officials didn't review it because the rule said they couldn't.

TCU would beat either one of those teams!
