ANOTHER Last-Second Clock Issue: Last Snap of Regulation vs. South Carolina
Don't get me wrong - I'm still flying high over the win. But something needs to be done about these late game clock-related screw ups by the refs and/or the officiating process. Could this not have been reviewed? You can see from the sequence of these two frames that UK definitely got the snap off before the clock turned zero at the end of regulation. The ball is already snapped and in Minchey's hands and the clock still shows 0:01 unless the refs are using another "secret clock" a la the Week 1 Michigan game. Why would the SEC not have ability to review this before OT is declared? I don't know the rule for sure - but I seem to recall (maybe incorrectly?) that as long as the center has started to move the ball (i.e., the snap) then the play is underway.
All that being said, I like the way the game ended MUCH better than even if we had gotten that last play off in regulation and completed a Hail Mary to win the game. The immediate decision to go for 2 was such a program-defining moment.
