But whatever, if it exists, I think that trying to center the ball with 18 (15 seconds left) is too risky. We only really had 12 seconds to run a play, line up and spike it.
The refs still botched this terribly, but at least we have some satisfaction that they admit they did not act with enough urgency.......
There is lack of urgency and then there is not doing a dang thing about an opposing player laying on the ball during such a critical moment.
Just surreal in scope in terms of getting jobbed, imo.
