Revisiting Tank’s play in the Iron Bowl

[WarEagle1982 449]

I haven’t seen or heard this talked about enough, but I have noticed, on about 3 occasions, in this SEC Championship Game where Alabama receivers have gone out of bounds but, because their forward progress was stopped while inbounds, the clock continued to run.  What’s the difference?

It just happened again on the 1st Down play on Bama’s current drive

I didn’t see the instances from this post, but I believe the clock only stops temporarily when running out of bounds unless it’s under 2 minutes.

And just happened again

Same reason they didn’t call holding in the end zone on bama when it was blatant at the time. It would have won us the game and they need more money

I can't believe the officials would do something in favor of Alabama...

Want two teams in the playoffs. Maximize profits.

I saw it too. Saw UGA defenders drag the Alabama RB out of bounds and the clock kept rolling. Why does it roll for them and not for us? Because it benefited the turds in both circumstances.

Clock only stops inside 2 minutes to half and game end when going out of bounds. Otherwise it stops briefly to set ball and then starts back on whistle
