Sorry, I misinterpreted the rule. It's explained here: https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_06501fc2-f079-11e8-86e6-afd6045d332a.html. Three seconds is the minimum time allowed. Sorry, still exhausted. Didn't fall asleep until 3:00 am; was so keyed up after this game.
Putting the :01 second back on the clock is certainly questionable. Do football stadium scoreboards now need to use tenths of a second under the 1 minute mark as it is done for basketball? Anyway, it looks like the clock reads :00.
the way I interpret the rule is that the spiked ball play should have ended the game as there was 2 sec on the clock when snapped, when the rule states that w/3 sec. or less on clock when snapped there time for 1 play
Wrt.... gotta stay current on ur ncaa memos Third, Texas A&M spikes the ball with what appeared less than 3 seconds, with officials adding 1 second back on the clock In a 2013 rule change, the NCAA established that 3 seconds is "the minimum amount of time required to be on the game clock in order to spike the ball to stop the clock." But in an NCAA memo from September 2017, the rule is updated as follows: "If the clock is stopped with three or more seconds remaining in a quarter, and the clock will start on the Referee’s signal, the Offense may spike the ball and if executed properly could have time remaining for another play. If the clock is stopped with 2 or 1 seconds in a quarter and will start on the Referee’s signal, there is only enough time for one more play."
