USC v Stanford game......ref's skip the extra point on late td.

[uscmd]

I saw something today I don't recall seeing before. With USC up 45-17 and the clock down to about 7 seconds, Stanford called time out and set up for a field goal. Whats strange is until then both teams looked to be doing whatever they could to get the game over with.

After Stanfords time out, USC took one. Stanford then pulled the field goal unit off the field and sent in the wide outs package. With no time left on the clock Stanford completes a pass in the end zone......TD.

This makes it 45-23, and with the x point, it'd be 45-24, a winner for those with SC-22.

Only the ref's opted to just end the game. I guess thats happened before in games where I had no money in play, and therefore wouldn't have noticed.

The line, depending on when you played it, was -22, -23 or -24. So it did matter

How often do the ref's opt to just not have an extra point? Is it automatic in games where it won't tie or win?

I'm mentioning this, because the SC game was probably seen by 300 households, who were looking for the knife channel and got their by mistake.

I've seen the knife channel before. Unreal, they sell you 100 something knives for some low ridiculous price. But, what are you going to do with that many knives? Know wonder there are so many knife dealers at the Flea Market!

If it has no effect on the outcome of the game, the scoring team can either kick it or just let the game end.

Right - it's not up to the game officials; it's up to the team that scored. In the NFL, the rule is different - you MUST try the point. I remember the Pats doing that once after the other team had left the field.

45-24 = 21. How would those laying 22 with SC have covered?

:think2:

I've been watching the "knife channel" for years; great marketing skills.
