This is what I was thinking. How can the offense know they're not supposed to snap it if

the umpire isn't standing over the ball and the play clock is running? They shouldn't have issued any "warning" against BYU. The refs were at fault, and if anything, Utah should have had a penalty for too many men on the field.

Officials got the defense sub warning against BYU wrong. It is pretty basic.

The official standing over the ball that moved got it wrong.

He should have warned himself

9/16/21 4:03pm

Exactly, if anyone should have received a warning, it should have been that ref.

Or he got it right and moved after the defense had plenty of time to substitute.

If that's the case, they should have called a penalty on Utah, not a warning on BYU.

but that would've been out of character with the tone of the officiating up to..

Plus, I believe the ref standing over the ball backed off to let the offense go.

That is the biggest issue. Ref screwed up by leaving the ball. Only way BYU

I assumed the reason it was a warning and not a penalty was due to...

I was okay with it. The point is to give the defense an opportunity to get their matchup.

They had time, they just slow jogged it one at a time

I'd be fine with it if we weren't given a warning. The offense did nothing wrong

Nope, the point is they get 10 seconds to adjust. The officials mussed it up

The rule is written objectively. Follow it as written.

They clearly took way too much time, there's no way that was our fault

It was Utah's fault for not getting their player off the field. The player got on just fine.

there is no 10 second limit - it's up to the official to decide if they've had enough time

I think you are right... the official decides how much is enough. PAC12 rule is

The only 10 second substitution rule I could find

Didn't BYU stub another player with less than 10 seconds to go?

MrClark

not that I could see on the replay.

RealityCheck

9/16/21 4:15pm

I just found it. BYU was jogging off the field too. I don't see anything wrong.

MrClark

9/16/21 4:20pm

I don’t think you know how this works.

Haha. They should send 20 offensive players onto the field until 15 seconds left

Too many men in the huddle.

I didn’t say they would huddle. It would be more of the amoeba approach. Lol

The umpire messed up for leaving standing the ball
