Refs gift Air Force 3 points before half ?

So they say it’s halftime instead of stopping the clock to re align the ball 

Air Force wouldn’t of had time to run their kicking unit out … but because of the refs saying it was halftime they stopped the clock and let the field goal unit run out there ? 

are you kidding me !?

I’m beyond heated that 3 points is huge for my under … wow wtf was that ? You can’t stop the clock and give the offense time to run the field goal unit out ? There should of been a run off for that mistake 

He got a 1st down and they did not stop the clock...It was the right call to review it and put back 2 seconds..You know this better...You get a 1st down the CLOCK stops...You should be blaming the Nevada time keeper..had he done it correctly and stopped the clock with 2 seconds to go...Very good chance that AF would not have been able to lineup and spike the ball...

yeah i seen that. the half should have ended. i had 1st half under 23.5   so anything but a td and i was good.  if they would scored a td  on that last play i would have not been happy

@davemsh

 no one ever is able to get the field goal unit set up in the time to start a 10 yard first down clock. takes about 15 seconds to get one unit off the field and other unit on. clock gets going within 10 seconds, especially at Nevada.

Let's go Air Force.

..Ever heard of spiking the ball? How long does that take...2 seconds.....LOL 15 seconds...Like I mentioned..had the Nevada time keeper stopped the clock on the 1st down..AF probably does not have enough time to lineup and spike the ball..but since they let the clock run out when it was suppose to be stopped it gave AF the time to lineup and snap the ball on the whistle....Nevada time keeper messed up big time ..not the refs....CLOCK STOPS on a 1st DOWN...since when is it a running clock after getting a 1st down????..so refs had to fix it and it was the right call..

Go Air Force

@davemsh

 u cant spike the ball with under 3 seconds.... every heard of the rules? .... since when is it a running clock after getting a first down? answer: anytime the clock is still running.... what the heck are you trying to say?

@PeAceMaKer7690

 right

Let’s hope the Air Force Falcons tonight are better then the Atlanta Falcons from last nights debacle

This is not the NFL..Clock stops on a 1st down..What don't u understand??? They did not stop the clock after AF rb got the 1st down.. are they suppose to just let the clock runout???

I was more confused by the clock going from 5 seconds to 9 seconds before the play with no explanation.

AF coach called a timeout with 9 seconds..

@davemsh

 That's what I assumed but typical MWC where you never know WTF is going on.  Didn't seem like.he called it at 9 live.  Went to 5. Never seemed to be addressed.

Feel like I've seen so many head scratchers thru the years on these crazy MWC games   

@davemsh

 yes, it stops for enough time for them to move the chains. twice teams have tried to kick field goals this year in this situation this year from close range and both times they have missed. It isn't enough time to switch out 11 players for your kicking team. It takes about ten seconds to move the chains on average. It takes more than that to do subs. 

had a feeling this would come to bite me on the under ??

@PeAceMaKer7690

The Nevada time keeper did NOT stop the clock after the 1st down...So the refs corrected it... Who's fault is that? Not the refs..

BRO NEVADA CANT TACKLE 

HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GONNA GET BEAT ON THE PITCH FFS !!! Straight garbage make an adjustment ffs 

I haven’t seen Nevada stop the pitch behind the line of scrimmage the entire night Jesus Christ this defense and coach is awful with adjustments 

WTF WAS THAT HE GOT TACKLED !!!! HOW IS THAT NOT PI 

AND JESUS CHRIST NEVADA LEARN OUTSIDE CONTAIN FFS THEY NEVER PASS THE BALL HAVE ONE OF UR CORNERS COME IN AND SLIDE OVER THE SAFETY JESUS CHRIST THIS NEVADA DEFENSE AND DEFENSIVE COACH IS AN ABOMINATION

Just can’t believe Nevada couldn’t make one clutch stop tonight on senior night , sad 

@davemsh

     i agree, but the point is that when the refs go to rectify the mistake, they should not overcompensate. Which is what they did. It is the same with injuries on the field stopping the clock. Teams get to do things that would not be possible had there not been on unforeseeable injury. Coaches literally are drawing up plays in these situations. it could happen both ways. i am not saying it is unfair over the course of a season. but for a single game, this hole in the rules makes the game a little bit more based on chance, and a little less on skill. which is another reason i always see a little hidden value in the underdogs.
