Can't spike the ball with less than 0:03 seconds left...

[klineski96]

I'll admit it, I've never heard of this rule before.

But shouldn't our coaches know the rule? Did Lashlee call for the spike or was that freshman QB trying to buy a little time for one final play?

 

[firstandcanes]

Stupid ******* rule.

 

[chrisRMNU]

Dumbest ******* rule. If there’s still time left then there is still time left. But Diaz should have known. NorveLLLLLL knew.

 

[RomeoJunior]

We were done either way.

 

[TheEye]

I was calling for the spike. I admit it. WTF do you need 3 seconds? F that rule. Regardless, I don't see us getting into the endzone and no time to kick it.

 

[klineski96]

Right, 100% agree with the replies so far, it is a stupid stupid rule.

But regardless, it IS a rule, and our coaches should have known about it, yes?

 

[MichiCANE]

That is a dumb rule but that would’ve been pretty hard to get a play called. You would’ve had to called a play prior to 4th and 10 and even at that point it would’ve been hard to do.

I feel like 2 seconds is more appropriate, but we were done anyway

 

[klineski96]

We were done either way.

Probably right. I agree with you.

 

[Baba Yaga]

I didn't know the rule either, but it had as much to do with the outcome of the game as me running out of beer.

 

[dirtyred786]

Yeah but to be honest, TVD took about 2 seconds to spike the ball anyway.

 

[TheWhiskeyMiser]

Can't spike it but you can get a play off? That is a BS rule.

 

[Cajuncane]

Even if you could have TVD would have run the clock out taking 3 steps back to spike it..found that kind of silly.Just shows how badly these kids are coached.

 

[kanecrazed]

All it did was deny us a long hail Mary. Those 2 seconds didnt cost us the game.

 

[RozayCane]

Rule makes absolutely no sense..

 

[moshated305]

Weird rule. Is this a new thing? Why have the clock stop after a first down then?

 

[Distructobot3000]

A mistake was the perfect ending to that ****show

 

[Garnacho]

FYI Manny’s not a football coach

It's an incredibly stupid rule that was installed by the NCAA around 2012 in response to the outcome of an OSU game. The NCAA has tried hard to take all of the drama out of CFB but this rule absolutely takes the cake. I don't see a high risk of injury in that situation (QB simply spiking the ball to stop the clock). So what exactly are they trying to achieve? Today, all it did was prevent athletes that fought hard all game long from finishing the game the right way (by playing)...NOT by rule. Would it have changed the outcome? Probably not but then Hail Flutie was highly improbable too.

CMD and Lashlee likely make $5 million per year combined. It is their job to know the rules. Just terrible, mane!!

I feel like he knew the rule because it looked like he hesitated doing it. It was very weird regardless.

Were they calling for a spike?
