Meh, you're probably right. With Matt Leinart underneath a pile, they probably couldn't get it done.

Awesome game! That's why USC is ranked number 1!

As an objective observer who had no money on the game, that was the greatest college football game Ive ever seen.

Re: Fumble=clock stop
 

So why don't teams do this intentionally - have the RB fumble the ball out of bounds if they can't get out themselves? (I know they have the no forward fumble rule in the NFL in the last 2 minutes - kind of similar.)

There are a few screwed up rules in football. For example, if a team false starts with the clock running, the clock starts again after the ball is spoted. It is only a matter of time until a team with the lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter intentionally false starts until the game is over. After this, the rule will be fixed.

For a second there I saw Texas #1. Dammit!

Re: USC v ND
 

What was hilarious is that one of the announcers said that when Leinart fumbled the ball out of bounds one of the refs signaled Touchdown.

Re: USC v ND
 

I haven't read any of this thread, but is what Bush did on the final play a penalty? Or is that only illegal when an offensive lineman pushes someone across? Only got to watch the final 2 minutes, but it sure looked like an awesome game. The Union was going crazy.
