Why did we get booth review/overturn on LSU/Auburn game on game clock situation but when UK asked for it 2 years ago in Swamp...we didn't get a booth review (besides SEC can give a crap less about UK)?
Why did we get booth review/overturn on LSU/Auburn game
- Thread starter K_TIME
- Start date
Only thing I could think of is that one was game clock and one was play clock.
Wow...I just can't understand the difference between a game clock and play clock violation as they are essentially nearly the same thing. But oh well...good for Auburn.
There is no such thing as a "game clock violation," it's not a penalty if the game clock runs out. If the game clock runs out the game is simply over, and any plays ran after the clock has hit zero are nil and void. But if the play clock runs out then you are penalized for delay of game and you can't review a play for a possible penalty. LSU had ran a play after the game clock hit zero, which means the play does not count. Florida ran a play after the play clock hit zero which would have been a penalty, which cannot be reviewed.
It should have been, but you can't review a possible penalty. Did we get screwed? Absolutely.
Delay of game results in the play being blown dead. Therefore, if the play was never blown dead... It was not a void play.
Did the refs miss the call? Yes. Would the refs have been doing the wrong thing by the rules to review? Yes.
Game clock vs play clock is correct but the cosmic reason is that we are UK and stuff like this is what happens to us
They were discussing changing the rule after we got screwed against Florida a couple of years back. Not sure if they did or not.
