Here is my attempt to summarize the chaotic finish of the BYU/UCF end of regulation. There is a lot here so this is a tough and confusing play. This is my opinion and interpretation.
First, there is a legal kick FG attempt by UCF on 3rd down. The clock should stop at the conclusion of a "legal kick down ends." Here, in my interpretation, the legal kick down ends when the kick is blocked and the UCF player recovers the kick and is tackled down. This appears to happen around 0:06 seconds and the whistle blows. The clock would then start on the next snap, which would be UCF 4th down (re-kick FG attempt). See below under "Starts on snap".
The flag thrown triggers a 10 second runoff for a helmet coming off ONLY if the helmet coming off is the ONLY or SOLE reason for the clock stopping. This does not, in my opinion and interpretation, apply here because the clock should stop at the conclusion of the legal kick down (when UCF player is tackled down and whistle is blown).
There is a lot going on here. Hard play to officiate. This is my interpretation, analysis, and opinion. 👍
"Leaders" in College Athletics any time they have a chance to destroy the sport we love further....
It’s crazy how united CFB fans are against the 24-team Playoff.
Josh Pate asks the crowd at their show in Indiana yesterday: crowd boos.
College Gameday mentions it in front of BYU fans in Provo: crowd boos.
SEC Nation talks about it in Knoxville: crowd boos, analysts against it.
Get on social media: endless posts of fans voicing their disapproval.
Pull up YouTube: numerous major talking heads/podcasts against it.
This is confusing!! Nobody is on base!!
The @MLBONFOX graphics make it look like the bases are loaded even though nobody is on base! It should not be that color white. Confusing!!

For those sending me clips and questions about traveling violations not being called.... it is not specific officials, conferences or teams. Traveling violations are not being whistled nationally this year. It was a POE this offseason. 🤷♂️
