Well heck. On fourth down might as well just run the 50 yards to the end zone and take the safety on the last play. That would easily have run out the clock.

True but the QB threw the ball right away - did not take any time off the clock - you at least run around for a while.

The ASU coach deserves to lose. The ASU players and fans don't but still trying to understand what I watched!

Utah blew the game against BYU by acting like fools at the end. Now it’s Arizona State. Colorado is in the right place. The Big 12 is a clown show.

Prematurely rushing the field should result in a 15-yard penalty.

 

[TrapVol]

Are ASU’s fans really as clueless as they look?

It’s crazy that one of these teams very well might be in the playoffs

It’s the peyote

Looks like he took 6 seconds off the clock with it, but he needed to have taken 7 seconds off with the play.

Shades of LSU at Kentucky back in the day.

Prematurely rushing the field should result in a 15-yard penalty.

If it wasn’t because the clock had run to zero and a review put a second back onto the clock to make the game not over, then yes, I agree with the idea.

He threw it right away - should have waited a few seconds.

 

[adam.vol]

They allowed BYU to catch, the QB didn’t have the arm to throw 55 yards.

 

[TrapVol]

Wow! 2 more yards and they would’ve pulled it off!! if they had called intentional grounding on Arizona St….

 

[TrueOrange]

Caught but 2 yards short of the endzone in the end.

ASU wins.

 

[volfan102455]

That was very close.

 

[utvolpj]

I'm pointing to this if anyone ever claims Heupel is the worst at time management.

 

[fear]

well that was a fitting way to end the game

 

[TrueOrange]

That was very close.

Once it was clear the ball was going to come down short of the endzone by a yard or two to a guy with 4-5 defenders near him, it was pretty much already over.

 

[TrueOrange]

“Tear down the goal posts again!”

“But we just put them back up!!”

 

[volfan102455]

They are roasting the ASU coach - as they should.

 

[volfan102455]

All I will say is that the Big 12 has left the spot open for Army if Army can beat Notre Dame.

The fact that ASU walked away from that entire situation without a penalty is ridiculous. The potential grounding, the fans storming, their coach acting like a toddler. So stupid…

Ok so I get those 2 parts and don’t entirely disagree.

But this one…it wasn’t like the clock was stopped with 3 seconds and the fans chose to rush the field. From what I understand, the refs, teams, fans, everyone thought the game had ended and all the time had run off; it wasn’t until a review was buzzed in and 1 second confirmed left on the clock that it became, in retrospect, official that the game hadn’t ended…why should they be penalized for that, in that situation?
