[Husker] The Fix

[Martin, Douglas W.]

KETV reporter after the game insinuated that the fix was in pertaining to the game clock.  I might need some help with the NCAA rulebook on this one (I know the HS rule) on when the play is dead.  Is it when the whistle blows the play dead or when the ball actually hits the ground?  I have rewound the thing now 80 times and if you go by the whistle you hear on the TV (which I realize might have some delay) the game is over.  If you go by when the ball hits the ground (which is kind of hard to see since it is out of bounds so far, it is like 0.3 seconds (I super slow motioned it and my time ticker which I can set to hundredths of a second says this as 7 ticks went off after the clock hit 1 second.
 
I am sick.  Did we also not kick the ball out of bounds against Florida State in the 1993 Orange Bowl at the end?  I know our offense was offensive, but I am just plain tired of losing to this team.  Dag nab it, it was their conference that folded in 1995 and they added only four teams to the deal but of course we play in their state and maybe the fix was in.......who knows.......it just feels that way.
