Does anyone who watched the Texas/Oklahoma football game know what happened to the last four seconds? It was a great game and congratulations to OU, but I thought Texas was about to get one more shot to tie it. Then, all of a sudden (it took about 4 seconds), the remaining time ran off the clock and the referee just sort of shrugged, as if to say, "Wellll.... close enough." And it was over.
Texas had very little chance of doing anything of real consequence and this isn't something I will complain about long-term, but I'm rather curious.
If the time legitimately ran off the clock and Texas was just standing around (which is possible judging by several delay of game penalties to start drives), then shame on us.
It was a very entertaining game and I'm proud of how the Longhorns played. Unfortunately, we blew last week's game, so this one's a killer. Very sad. Did the Littlest Longhorn Fan buy all that orange food and drink (see "The Adventure Begins" - Sept. '07) for nothing? Absolutely not. It was delicious.

I believe that since the pass was completed to Quan during the play the clock began as soon as the ball was set. A similar thing happened to Washington last season against USC. Either way it sucked.
I believe he is correct. It was the right call by the refs, and poor alertness and game management by the Horns. Though as you say, its actual game effect is questionable at best.
40AS bringing relevant analysis to the blogosphere...nice.
