Shouldn't the officials have given a more clear indication of when the clock would be starting? If the players know when the clock is starting, as they should after every first down, it doesn't take two seconds to spike the ball. They got robbed of one second of game time. I don't think it would have mattered though as pulling off that last second TD pass play rarely works out except for teams facing Wisconsin. And really, who here wasn't absolutely rooting for that game to come down to a last second Hail Mary toss by the Ducks to win it? I know I was. Seeing Wisconsin lose three crucial games in that fashion this year would have been hilarious.
Hopefully Michigan can win tonight to try and salvage this Bowl season slightly for the B1G. Been pretty brutal so far. Big grats on 1-4 yesterday after 0-5 last year. The middle of the Big 10, Penn St, Nebraska, Iowa, OSU, etc., are so massively overrated.
