4th down kneel down question

[BWahlberg]

This most likely wouldn't have changed the outcome but unless the timer on Root's broadcast was wrong, Wyoming kneeled down with 13 seconds left on 4th down. Shouldn't that have stopped the clock and turned the ball over to the Griz?

Like I said, wouldn't have changed he outcome barring some crazy miracle but that one had me confused at the end of the game.

Their on screen clock was wrong. They only needed to snap and run around for a tick or two and the game was over.

Ok that makes more sense.

BW, ESPN says, and BillingPoke's friend confirmed, that there were 2 seconds left when WY turned it over on downs. ESPN actually had to make an entry on the drive chart for a non-existent Montana play to make the chart zero out. I agree that it wouldn't have made a difference, but it looks like the Griz should have had a shot at a hail mary.

I think there might have actually been an ineffective Hail Mary play at the end after TV cut out. Mick and Gurns called a offensive play for the Griz with 2 seconds left... ROOT must have been in too much a hurry to get to Mariners pregame.

Wow, seriously?

Confusion in my house too, but that is common.

ESPN's play by play now shows this as the last play of the game:

"1st and 10 at MONT 16 Jordan Johnson pass incomplete to Travon Van, broken up by Mark Nzeocha"

Of course it also shows the end of the fourth quarter before that play....so who knows.

This is correct. I was listening on the radio at that point (had to be back in Casper by 8 - effing lightning).

Mass confusion. Captain Kirk kneeled with :02 left. You guys chucked one and Nzeocha broke it up.

BTW, sat in section B next to all the Griz fans. Yall are a great group. Good luck the rest of the year! I'll be following you.

That would certainly explain it.
