#4 on ESPN you say? Strange no mention of it on KARK (https://www.kark.com) or KATV (https://katv.com/sports). You wouldn’t even know we had a game looking at those two local “news” sources.

I did see some news camera there. Someone posted their angle of the hail marry on Twitter. Don’t remember the name though. But agree local news is brutal with their lack of coverage.

Official statement from the UAC:

The United Athletic Conference has determined that during the fourth quarter of the
November WIth football contest between Eastern Kentucky University and the
University of Central Arkansas, an inadvertent error in clock operation occurred.
With : 19 remaining, the game clock was not started and stopped correctly on the
first play of the final drive. Therefore, the subsequent play resumed with:17
remaining.
The On-Field and Replay Came Officials failed to detect the error and adjust the
game clock accordingly prior to the next play.
The UAC is committed to providing accurate and efficient officiating outcomes for
all contests. This matter has been addressed with all parties involved internally.
The On-Field and Replay Came Officials are evaluated each play on an ongoing basis.
Those evaluations determine regular season and post-season officiating
assignments. The UAC will continue to evaluate and improve UAC Football
Officiating.

I saw that. So what SHOULD have happened? If I’m reading that correctly more time should have run off after our first pass?

From looking at ESPN I’d assume another 4 or 5 seconds should’ve been gone. Although the ESPN clock isn’t official no matter what anyone says. Idk how it looked on the board though. My 2 cents is we didn’t gain any yards so all it would’ve done is make us run the Hail Mary a play earlier but who knows what would’ve happened. And also the referees were correcting the clock operator all night long. They could’ve have just as easy fixed to what it should’ve been.
