I am just trying to think that if all this happened in the middle of the game hypothetically and we completed that 4th down pass inside the 5 and got it called back, wouldn't the clock stop entirely and play start at our snap of the ball? Basically the only thing you are concerned with is a play clock. What someone needs to do is watch the replay and catch where an offensive penalty was called and accepted and see if the clock runs before the ball is snapped again. My guess is no.
No whistle just his arm coming down. I run the clock for college games. The penalty isn't a dead ball foul nor a 10 second run off so the time that went off the clock went down to 1 second, hence the 1 second left. Head ref or white hat signals for the clock to start by bringing his arm down, there is no way for there to be a play unless the clock operator waits for his arm to come completely down and and the center times the snap perfectly which is close to impossible. Remember the crazy ending Tennessee game when T Bob just snapped it and UT had too many men on the field? Pocic would have had to have done that instead of waiting on the QB to call for the ball.
6.4 Million is the buyout the way I read it http://www.theadvertiser.com/story/sports/2016/09/03/buyout-s-looking-manageable-minute/89843158/
The part about "If there is no 10-second runoff, the game clock starts on the snap" only applies if the opposing team declines the runoff.
LSU never has had anything close to the urgency I expect in late game / time sensitive situations. But I do not understand how a booth review could determine that we did not get the ball snapped in time.
