Here’s one that’s making the rounds nationally, now that the 40 second play clock is nationwide.
Team B is trailing 20-21 late in the 4th period. Team B has no timeouts left. It is Team A ball 3rd and 5 from their own 5 yard line. Team A runs a play and is tackled in bounds, when the ball becomes dead there is :39 seconds on the play clock. At :35 seconds the Back Judge stops the clock because of a Team B player's helmet off or a Team B injury. What’s the play clock situation, and if we don’t like it, what can we do about it?
