I feel I need to put an end to this absurd take that too many have latched onto. It may be a fun “whatabout”, but it’s completely irrelevant based on the rules. The only relevant factor is the clock was at :01 when the ball hit the ground. Had the clock not started at all creating a significant clock error, replay could use time elapsed, but that didn’t happen. And to assume anyone other than Daktronics’ engineers understands exactly how the clock functions internally is foolish. For example, the vast majority of stadium clocks in both college and NFL incorrectly count off the 1st second after a clock reset in about 1/3 second rather than taking a full second (ex, at the beginning of a quarter or after a 10-second runoff).
