The only game I've seen in OH in the past several years was Penn at Cincinnati St. Xavier and I can't remember if they had the 40-second clock. But, I do know (from that game) that their mercy rule is such that they go back to regular timing if the score difference goes back under the threshold. Also, I remember in a Ben Davis at Cincinnati Elder game from many years ago that they put the ball on the 20 for overtime. I believe they do have the 40 second clock, that being said many Ohio schools do not have on field play clocks. The QB has to confirm the time with the Referee.

OT thing was incorrect. NFHS standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know better after all the trips to Ohio that there ain't no clocks on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFHS standard Mercy rule: Thanks for the info. OT: I Googled to see what their current rules are. Ohio evidently not adhering to NFHS standard, per items 2 and 8 in this document: https://ohsaaweb.blob.core.windows.net/files/Sports/Football/2022/FBOvertimeRules2022.pdf Edited September 30, 2023 by gindie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legacy of the great Bill Sharpe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
