Why didn't they spike it and get the FG unit out? I've never seen a QB just place the ball down. He gave himself up, he didn't stop the clock.
Stupid Wisconsin QB. Smart job by ASU. That's not delay of game, that's trying to gain possession, the referee didn't spot the ball.
YES!
Thank you for saying that. It's not a delay of game penalty if the referee hasn't spotted the ball already. Defenses pounce on the football all the time when they think it's a fumble, but it never gets called. Sometimes a defender will even pick up a dead ball and run the other direction for 50 yards...and that never gets called either.
I agree...Wisconsin should have thought things through before running that play. Not a smart idea.
