We HAVE a fan video showing the final play and the clock. It shows the stadium clock with one second remaining when the player touches the ball. Link inside.

As has been said a couple times, the issue is NBC's broadcast of the clock. That's it. Full story.

Ultimately, the issue comes down to the syncing between the camera aimed at the stadium clock and the cameras recording the action - By syrfan September 8, 2026 at 05:04:51 PM
- I saw an explanation of this on the intertubes. The broadcast video includes the line-to-gain animation..... - By hurryup September 8, 2026 at 05:17:29 PM
- Right, I've been saying that NBC and the refs did the same thing and came two different answers. But there are two more things. - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 05:14:46 PM

  - FWIW the scoreboard clock on the broadcast video dropped to :08 instantly upon the snap.* - By hurryup September 8, 2026 at 05:28:12 PM
    - You mean the one NBC superimposed during their replay right? I don't think you can see the scoreboard in the raw footage. - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 05:33:23 PM
    - As it should - it goes from 0:09.0000 to 0:08.9999* - By syrfan September 8, 2026 at 05:30:15 PM
      - lol* - By uncwolverine September 8, 2026 at 07:18:39 PM
      - You could just as easily say it shouldn't go to 0:08 until one second has passed. In your scenario only 8 seconds of real time should pass before the clock reads 0:00.* - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 05:38:47 PM
        
        And if so, the *instant* the clock shows :00, there should be .999999 seconds remaining in actual game time.* - By LKLIII September 8, 2026 at 06:18:51 PM
        
        yes* - By ajs September 8, 2026 at 07:03:51 PM
        
        Agreed. Here's another video. NBC fucked up that's the bottom line. - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 06:20:57 PM
- I thought they said the one the officials used is the one that is 'strobed' to sync it up 80 minutes before the game* - By mtb September 8, 2026 at 05:11:13 PM
  - I'm pretty sure that applies to all the NBC cameras* - By syrfan September 8, 2026 at 05:12:51 PM
- If NBC showed the officials in the replay room during deliberations, literally no one would have raised a peep - By y2wolv September 8, 2026 at 05:10:25 PM
- some guy on Twitter who apparently works in the industry said the NBC feed had the yellow 1st down line on during the play, and that overlay can delay the feed by a few frames - By ricomontoya September 8, 2026 at 05:09:29 PM
  - Greg McElroy said today with Bud Eliott that the TV clock is often off by up to a second* - By y2wolv September 8, 2026 at 05:11:10 PM
- I believe the ACC does this * - By Nikos September 8, 2026 at 05:06:11 PM
  - They do for some games, and it really is illuminating* - By syrfan September 8, 2026 at 05:07:28 PM
