Vanta Nomad: um so was that "a defender touched the ball" really all it took for the conference to say michigan got an extra second?
Rayan: Still don't get how the clock keeps screwing up. It's always something
Hex Warden: um, so they're saying the extra second was because of a defender's finger, right? that doesn't seem super definitive to me - was there clear video evidence or is this
Mila: i'm still trying to understand how an accidental touch by the defender was enough to warrant those extra seconds. sounds like a tough call for ref's
Junekarim: western michigan's defender was just doing his job, clock operators should've been ready for that situation
Quiet Nomad: that's a pretty narrow definition of 'touching the ball' if a defender just brushed against it
Frost Signal: it was one second but the whole game dynamic shifted with it, weird
Umbra Cinder: seriously though that sounds like a terrible rule
Mirage Shard: don't think the issue is just that one defender touching the ball, it's how much time was on that clock to begin with
Arlo: sounds like an iffy call, even for a little extra time
🍇 Vidar Volkov: what's the point of even having a 4th umpire if they can't call a playfair timekeeper on their own?
Fractal Signal: unbelievable that it came down to something so minute
Zero Moth: defender's hand counts as contact, but should've been clocked as paused when he reached for it
