"...Set the Clock to 13 Seconds and RESTART AT READY FOR PLAY."

[TheTechGuy]

Link at 20:41. Am I mishearing, or did the referee clearly state that the clock operator should restart the clock at the signal for ready for play? If so, why did Collins state in his press conference that the referee stated the clock would start at the snap? Collins was adamant in the press conference that the referee announced to the stadium that the clock would start at the snap; this clip seems to indicate otherwise.

I swore I heard at the snap. I am not rewatching a second of this game, so ya'll let me know.

 

[ilovetheoption]

...he damn sure did.

It's late after a long day, but I think the ref pretty clearly says "restart at ready for play."

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Collins is wrong, and I am surprised he was so emotional and adamant about it in the presser.

 

[TechPreacher]

Anybody that knows football knows the rule in that situation, especially a P5 HC should.

Being there live, at the other end of the stadium, it sounded like snap. Maybe if one of the best engineering institutions in the world could have a working sound system, this wouldn't be an issue.
Saw the DJ throw his headphones down when the music started screwing up.

The coach should not be listening to PA announcements.

All this is just ridiculous. We were not playing UGA, UVA etc, if it came down to this from FCS Citadel then we need to recognize where we have dropped from one season to the next. We are Elon.

When the ref makes these statements over our PA system, it is important.

When the ref makes these statements over our PA system, it is important.

So, if the ref said over the PA, if Tech takes a knee, they get 6 points.

Then, we should have done it because of what they said...???

What a ref says over the PA can’t change a bedrock rule of the sport.

It’s more important for the damn head coach to know the rules before even facing that situation. Good grief.

The ref is the head rules guy in the stadium. So yes, you do what the ref says. If you played any sport, you know that.

What's happened has happened. No matter who is right, we lost today. We're just pissing in the wind now.

If the coach knew the rules he would be less inclined to misunderstand what the damn ref actually said.

#1, use our last timeout instead of running 10 seconds off the clock
#2, use the timeout to call the next 3 PASS plays and field goal on down 4 if needed
#3, any well coached team should be able to run 3 pass plays to the end zone in 25 seconds and still have time to kick the field goal if needed
CGC should know better.

 

[flygtfly]

I think he was hungry and thinking about some covered and smothered hash browns instead of the f%$%#$g rules!

 

[The Doddfather]

The ref said the clock was to start on the snap. There were 13 seconds left. The timeout was called pre-snap but the line judge right beside Geoff never acknowledged it. Then the touchdown happened. Then the timeout was granted after the fact. I just watched the replay. Then we had 6 seconds left due to their infinite knowledge. It was garbage officiating just like most of the rest of the game. No excuses, but there were a lot of wtf calls and reviews today.

If its the same fat lady that works the basketball games not a shock. I hope she leaves

Just choose a QB and an offensive system and stick with it! Coach Collins is in over his head..... This appears to be the second coming of Bill Lewis Era not the George Oleary Era!!!

Please tell me what offensive he’s suppose to choose?
