Parents sue over blown call in hopes of N.M. playoff spot

[Texas Aggie]

The game didn't end on a play with a foul under any scenario. I'm getting conflicting reports -- that there was a DPI (ostensibly an incomplete pass) or a tripping foul (could have resulted in DPI but unclear as to status of play). The only issue is whether the clock should have started on the RFP or the snap.

If the clock was supposed to start on the RFP, and time ran out before the snap, then one more untimed down would be needed before the period could end. So either way the officials messed it up.

I see. Under NCAA rules, the rule only concerns itself with what the clock is at the end of the play with the foul. I thought I'd heard Fed was the same, but I guess not.
