In football in general, pro and college, the clock keeps going unless something like a penalty, time out, incomplete pass, or such stops it. If the play ends inbounds and none of those things happen, the clock usually keeps ticking. This is what makes timeouts and clock management so important for a coach and team to master.

That particular replay was notable for gross incompetence by the coaching staff of LSU (white, yellow, purple). On 2nd and Goal from the 2 with 32 secs left, a team should get 3 plays easily and should score 85% of the time. They got ONE. They got tackled in bounds, so the clock runs and they didn't know what to do. The initial 2nd down play came with the clock stopped, so they should have had the 3rd and 4th down plays called beforehand and only change them if the clock stops. Even if they didn't have plays called, they had enough time (23 secs) to just run straight up the middle two more times, which would probably work. Inexcusable.

​@@DNReacts The angle a potential blocker has to take and the amount of time it takes to get to the kicker make it very hard. Most blocked kicks are because of busted blocking assignments in the interior or freakishly athletic defensive linemen timing a perfect vertical jump.

The block field goal by Cody of Alabama (6:55) was his second block field goal of the game. Field goal blocks are extremely rare, most teams don’t get one in a season.

Also important to pay attention to while watching big moments in college football is team rankings! The number to the left of a team's name indicates their national rank. Only the top 25 teams are ranked. With that being said, some of the biggest moments in college football history are huge upsets with unranked teams beating out top-ranked teams. Hopefully rankings help clarify the importance of some of the clips!

i was just about to post the same thing. Those numbers (and lack thereof) are contextually important. Adding to this comment, upsets in general are celebrated in American sports. Like GoodbyMoonman says, a ranked team getting beaten by an unranked team usually headlines the sports news wires, and American sports history's greatest moments are littered with underdog stories.

The clock rules are complicated. Out of bounds stops the clock. Incomplete forward pass stops the clock. Time out stops the clock (each team 3 time outs per half). First downs temporarily stop the clock while they move the measurement chains to a new first down position. Plays tackled inbounds that don’t achieve a first down and the clock runs until the next play.

Red River showdown is easily one of the best as well, I’m biased as a Sooners fan but I think it’s the best feeling rivalry in College football

3:00 Those perplexed looks move me to explain. :) You'll notice next to the score the banner says "FINAL/2 OT." That means the game is in a second overtime. In overtime, each team attempts to score from the opponent's 25-yard line. If the scores are still equal after both sides make an attempt, another round is played. So, in this game, Texas A&M was up seven points because it had scored a touchdown and one-point conversion on its turn. Then they intercepted the ball when Tennessee was attempting to score on their turn. Game over. :)

Part of what makes a lot of these plays "miracles" are the rivalries that have been going on for decades. Sure they might not ALL be insane brain melting plays filled with maximum athleticism or luck, but its really about those last second plays or game altering plays of a really intense game with wildly crazed competing fanbases that have immense passion for the sport and their team. Just something to keep in mind if you see one of these plays and cant quite see whats so great about it when compared to other compilations that are full of some of the best plays in history, a lot of it just comes with knowing the rivalries because it adds so much significance to the plays outside of just the skill being put on display

The UCLA-Texas A&M one needs some extra context: that was the final score coming back from a 34-point deficit (second-largest comeback in top-division college football history). A&M led 44-10 late in the 3rd quarter. The Florida State kickoff return (around 4:30) gave FSU the lead in the national title game with about 4 minutes left; the very next clip is from the same game after Auburn scored to retake the lead with a little over a minute left. Since overtime came up several times in the video, a brief explanation of college OT rules (as of the mid-2010s, when most of these clips were): One team gets the ball 25 yards out, and continues until they score or lose possession. Then the other team gets it from the same spot. Clock is irrelevant. If the scores are not equal after that, the game ends. If they are, play another round (but with the order reversed). Starting in the 3rd OT, if you score a touchdown, you cannot kick the extra point; you must attempt a 2-point conversion instead. After a couple of marathon games (notably an LSU-Texas A&M game which went 7OT), the rules were tweaked a little to speed up long OT games: as of now, the no-kicked-PAT rule applies in the 2nd OT, and starting with the third, instead of a full possession, each team merely attempts a 2-point conversion (one play from 3 yards out).

College overtime is crazy. There are no ties in college football 1st OT: Coin flip determines possession. Each team will have one possession, starting at the opponent’s 25 yard line (25 yards to the end zone). Whoever has the most points at the end of each possession wins. If both teams score the same amount, they go to 2nd OT 2nd OT: Same rules apply, but the order of possession is swapped. *3rd OT and following: Each team alternates 2 point conversion plays. This could go on in perpetuity if each ends with the same outcome. *prior to 2021, after the 3rd OT, teams still alternated possessions at the 25 yard line, but if you scored a touchdown , you were required to attempt a 2 point conversion rather than kicking an extra point.

In college overtime: each team gets a possession at their opponents 25 yard line. So if Oregon scores a field goal... then TCU has one possession (4 downs) to either tie, win or lose.

There are 2 clocks in football. The play clock & game clock & all sorts of interesting ways to use them. Some strategies are rarely used but should be. Don't let the 2 clocks fool you. The play clock (25 or 40 seconds for both NFL & college) only times when the officials set the ball to prevent delay of the game and has nothing to do with the game clock. The game clock is always 60 minutes & the two terms are confusingly used interchangeably sometimes. Don't ask me why a play clock is sometimes called the game clock by many people. The difference is clear to me. A game clock times the game. A play clock times between plays. Game clocks are stopped for out of bounds, incomplete pass, etc for the Pros. But not so for college until they reach the last two minutes of the half or the game will they stop the game clock for the same reasons. Confusing, huh? I think it was done that way to speed up college games.

@DNReacts

Жыл бұрын

Makes sense now, thank you!

16:50 in college overtime is untimed (the period is untimed, but there's still a play clock). Each team gets a possesion from the 25 yard line (no kickoff). if the team who gets possesion first only scores a field goal, the other team can win it with a touchdown. If the score is still tied, they keep going back and forth (they alternate which team starts on offenese every OT period, so if you went first in the 1st OT, you'll go 2nd in the next, and 1st in the after that, etc.) From the 2nd OT on they start forcing each team to go for a 2pt conversion after scoring a touchdown (a single down play after the TD where getting into the endzone is worth 2 points). In theory this could go on forever (most I've seen is 7 overtimes).

In college football overtime, each team is given one possession beginning at the opponent's 25-yard line. Each team retains the ball until it scores, fails to score, fails to make a first down or turns the ball over. Teams can score either a touchdown or a field goal. Beginning with the second overtime period, teams must attempt a two-point conversion after scoring a touchdown. Beginning with the third overtime period, teams will begin to run alternating two-point conversion plays instead of offensive possessions.

I'm mainly a Baseball fan, DN Reacts, (Braves and Dodgers - spent much of my life in both cities) but if I'm gonna watch American Football, it's generally gonna be college ball (UGA, in my home state), for reasons like this. It's much more chaotic and exciting for me. Seeing star players probably headed for the NFL break out in terms of talent, and more risk-taking seems to allow for more miracle plays like this. Plus many college teams have stadiums as big, or bigger than NFL stadiums, and the crowds and shows are unbelievable. Watching NFL is tolerable, but for me, in a lot of ways it's like watching a battle between two lines of heavy tanks lined up to each other, and just trying to grind each other back a few yards at a time, whereas college ball is more like watching light infantry shoot and scoot, taking enemy territory through agility, improvisation, etc. That said, look into Texas high school Football. Texans love their high school teams more than the college ones. I remember arriving in a west-Texas town, getting driven around by a friend who was also stationed there, and idly wondering why the big, concrete ASU stadium was so far from their campus. He informed me that that stadium was for a local high school, not the University. When we did pass the University's field, it looked like what you'd expect from a high-school-shoddy metal bleachers, etc.

theres a whole game within the game dealing with clock management(both nfl and college). The clock will continue running unless the runner goes out of bounds, timeout, incomplete pass, etc. ex. youll see a winning team towards the end of the game running in bounds, avoiding passes, taking knees to drain as much clock., but when the other team gets it theyll run out of bounds, call timeouts, pass, and spike the ball to pause the clock and give them more time to score. look into it, itll help you get the strategy a little better.

Two observations about the video you chose: 1. What an odd clip to end on -- after all the spectacular plays, they show us a simple defensive stop. Not a very flashy finish. 2. I may be spoiled, but I think it's always more fun to see the close-up, slow-motion replay, after the original play (particularly since you were showing us the game in a small, picture-in-picture frame -- it would have been better for us). Was surprised and disappointed this video did not provide that.

Wooo Pig Sooie! That Joe Adams punt return was amazing! SEC SEC SEC

There is no time limit in overtime, whoever scores, the other team has to match that score or score more to win

the circle was just highlighting how far down they where... a 31 to 0 at halftime is a big hole to come back from but they did it... thats why halftime is so important as a losing team... you can get together and review the playbook and make adjustments to what you seen in the first half...

Overtime against 18th ranked Ole Miss, and it was 4th down with 25 yards to go (i.e., the game came down to this). Arkansas went on to score a TD that drive, after which we pulled off a 2 point conversion for the win. Good memories!

The clock doesn't stop in the NFL either. The clock only stops in the 2nd and 4th quarter if a player goes out of bounds with I believe 4 minutes left in the quarter. The clock also stops on an incomplete pass. That's why you see people running the ball when they are in the lead and "Chewing the Clock" they will not attempt a pass usually.

The clock keeps running if the player is tackled in bounds. Only the 2 minute warning in the 2nd and 4th quarters can stop the clock on a tackle in bounds. Incomplete passes and running out of bounds stops the clock.

10:00 The term "Hail Mary Pass" refers to a long distance last second pass that's needed to score before the end of a half or the end of a game. The term was originally invented by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, after he threw a last-second 50-yard touchdown pass to win a 1975 playoff game. After the game, Staubach told reporters that as the ball left his hand, he closed his eyes and said a Hail Mary, and the term stuck.

To get a better feel for college football vs the NFL and what makes these highlights so crazy beyond just the insane plays, college football is about school pride, recruiting, territory, rivalries, upsets, and the rankings. The school pride comes from being a current/former student of that university, or living in that city since not every city has a pro team. The recruiting process is just as competitive as the games because all the top schools go out and fight each other trying to convince the best high school players to commit to their university. Then you have territory where you want to be the best team in your state and then conference. Which up until recently, the conferences for biggest were split up by which side of the country your on. The south currently has been dominating in. College football, but the west cost and north schools are trying to make a comeback. The rivalry games are the must win games. A team could go 1-11 in a season, but if that 1 win came against your rival, it’s still a good season. Especially since some rivalries are over 100 years old. The last, and most important, is the rankings. There’s 133 teams in the main division, but only the top 4 teams make it to the playoffs and have a chance to win the championship. It used to only be the top 2 teams in the rankings just played for the championship without having playoffs. There’s almost always 1 or 2 teams that go undefeated during the regular season and have their playoff spots locked in, so all the other teams are fighting for those last two spots. If you lose 2 games, you’re chances of making the playoffs are low. In a lot of of these highlights, especially the game where Alabama missed the field goal and Auburn ran it back for a touchdown to win the game, they’re rivals and the loss knocked Alabama out from going to the playoffs. The NFL is about drafting players instead of recruiting them, and only the best college football players make it. They focus more now on the star players rivalries instead of team rivalries, and it’s all about winning the SB.

The best way to think about the clock is that it's always counting down (unlike soccer 😉), but certain frequent events make it stop. A few cases are incomplete passes, running out of bounds, timeouts, etc... If you are tackled in bounds the clock will keep running. When you asked the question in the video, the offensive obviously had no timeouts left (3 per half), and the clock was still running from the previous play.

Can’t we compromise on European Football? 😅 Thank you for this, very helpful! Also regarding the 3 time outs per half you’ve in advance answered a question we had in a highlight video due out soon 😀

Hail Marys are the best way to win a game I caught one in high school and to this day I remember every second of it

In college football the first two overtimes each team starts at their own 25 yard line and they run plays like a normal part of the game and try to score. Starting at the second overtime they have to go for two point conversions if they score a touchdown. Each team can also kick field goals during the overtime to score on their turn.

Hail Mary TDs are some of the best of the best to see. I absolutely love 'em because they're the biggest gambles that pay off in dividends. Aaron Rodgers, QB for the Green Bay Packers, has been a king at Hail Marys here and there over years. Say what you will about the man being a weirdo, but when he'd do those, it was absolutely magical. And the crowd goes wild! 🏈🏈🏈

In OT each team starts from the other teams 25 yard line. Game clock is for running plays only. After 2 OT`s teams on TD scores must attempt 2 point tries. The one game was 4th and 25 yards to get a new set (1st down) of plays. Thats why the guy just thre it back like 15 yards, what`s to lose? He was well short of making the 25 yards.. just a freak play as his teammate caught the lateral and actually advanced the ball enough for a FIRST!

The context of it being a non ranked team vs a ranked team or it being in the national title game all comes into these ones.

That Florida state touchdown return was in thr National Championship game as well. Flipped the momentum.

College football overtime is arguably the most entertaining overtime in all of sports. Teams take alternating turns having possessions starting with a 1st and 10 at the 25 yard line closest to the endzone they are trying to score in. However many points team 1 scores on their drive (0 from the defense getting a stop, 3 from being held to a feild goal, 6 from a TD with a missed extra point, 7 from an TD and made extra point, or 8 from a TD and made 2 point conversion) team 2 must match it to push the game into an extra OT, or they have to score more in order to win the game. There is no time limit on each possession. You guys haven’t done this before but I suggest you react to or at least watch 2018 LSU vs Texas A&M for a couple reasons: 1) It’s the best game to get an understating of OT rules because it has the most OTs in college football history; 2 it’s an entertaining game that has a comeback, lots of scoring, drama at the end, and a miracle finish; 3) we will NEVER see slither game like it due to the NCAA implementing a few new OT rules in direct response to the way this game played out (the most significant new role being at the start of the 3rd OT, instead of 25 yard drives, each team only gets 1 play from the 3 yard line, and they go back and forth until someone doesn’t score). Sorry for the information dump on an old video. Im new to the channel and I love the content! Hope this comment finds you and helps if you haven’t learned this information already by now

The clock only stops when: a timeout is called, or the player with the ball steps out of bounds, or when the ball is thrown forward and not caught (an incompletion), or when a penalty is called.

Then there’s also the Magnolia Bowl: Ole Miss vs LSU. Then you’ve got The Egg Bowl Ole Miss vs Mississippi State. The Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party: Florida vs Georgia. You’ve got The Battles Up North: essentially any of the 3 Deep South states (Alabama, Mississippi, or Georgia) versus Tennessee. And for an old one you’ve got what we in Mississippi called the Rich Kid Rivalry or more officially the Mid-South Rivalry: it was Ole Miss vs Memphis. All these are extremely intense rivalries, fights have happened, many have been arrested. Hell I drank my first beer as a kid tailgating at one of these after a win when my dad gave it to me.

Clock only stops on incomplete pass or when you run out of bounds. Clock management is huge in football. If you're winning running the ball is best because the clock won't stop.

15:33 Kentucky (the team in blue) thought they’d won the game, they dumped Gatorade on their coach and the fans were starting to run on the field. Then lsu won

I don't know if it was mentioned elsewhere in the comments but in the first clip, Central Michigan came back from being down 49-14 in the third quarter, but missed a two-point conversion and lost 49-48.

Overtime in NFL is 10 minutes, and the push is for the offense to score a TD (first team to do so wins). In college football, there is no OT clock. Each team gets a chance at possession per OT period until one team wins. Also, NFL and college rules say first possession is decided on a coin toss.

not sure how i missed part 1, but i went back and watched. 😀

Most of the greatest games I've seen have been college games, real back and forth contests, and about half went down to the wire or into OT.

The clock doesn't stop between plays generally. There are reasons the clock will stop including mainly, a team gets a first down, the player with the ball goes out of bounds, a pass is incomplete (the receiver didn't catch it) or a team calls a time out.

For full rules on when the game clock stops, see the Wikipedia article "Clock Management", but basically the game clock stops for: 1. A time out 2. When the ball is taken out of bounds 3. An incomplete forward pass 4. A ref calls for a timeout for any reason (there are several) 5. In College and High School football (but not NFL) the game clock stops for a few seconds after a first down so the chain crew can reset themselves All other times, the game clock keeps going. So watching that Tennessee vs. LSU game, there was some crazy confusion on the LSU coaching side to send a bunch of other players out onto the field before the quaterback got a spike of the ball in (to stop the clock - incomplete forward pass), which Tennessee saw and tried to send different defenders out for a different type of play... and the game clock just kept running with like 50 guys on the field. But then, LSU did manage to snap the ball, and caught Tennessee with too many men on the field (because of all of the confusion) and got a do-over in which LSU managed to score a touchdown.

On that #5 as a further fact to note, LSU was out of timeouts. So #1 was out of the ?.

No clock in college overtime; 1st overtime: each team gets a possession starting from the 25 yard line; if one team out scores the other they win; if still tied after 1st OT, then have 2nd OT; 2nd OT is same as 1st OT except if score a TD, the team must go for 2 point conversion instead of kick extra point; 3rd OT and beyond teams simply have 2 point conversions, if u score and hold your opponent u win (like penalty kicks)

Hey Fellas, FYI, if the previous play was a running play the clock continues to run unless a team calls timeout. If it's a passing play it stops because the refs have to reset the ball.

13:12 the clock doesn't always stop between plays. for examples of reasons to stop the clock : if there's a penalty if there is an incomplete pass if a player in possession of the ball runs out of bounds this isn't a comprehensive list, but you get the idea.

Loved this video. The clock stops if the ball goes out of bounds, if the refs stop the clock for some reason like a measurement or there is a time out called by one of the teams. LSU didn't have any time outs remaining. Thanks for the fun. Enjoyed it.

You have seen the role of the quarterback, do you know the role of the middle linebacker? After the two teams line up and take positions on each side of the line of scrimmage; but before the ball is napped, both sides try to figure out what the other side has planned. Some people call the middle linebacker the "quarterback" of the defensive line. IMHO Ray Lewis was the best ever at that position and has never been matched even after he retired. Check out some of his highlights., he was a truly crazy "all out" player' so... they are a hoot. Most of the tim the middle linebacker has the authority to line up his players in a manner which he thinks best defends against the next play. The two major categories of defensive formation are: zone and man to man. This is pretty self-explanatory. As you can easily figure out each has its advantages and disadvantages. A defence might use a "man-to-man" approach and assign two players from the defence to defend against a star player on the offence and make life hard for him. For instance, Travis Kelce (yes, of the Kansas City Chiefs) is soooo good that he often has two players from the defence assigned to try to stop him. They usually DON'T stop him. Kelce is another great player with amazing highlight reels. So American football has lots of dimensions. There is also something called 'time management" which is usually done by the head coach. This is the art of making sure that the team uses its time-outs to the best advantage and also make sure they don't waste playing time at critical junctures. This is the basics. There are also the intricacies of "running routes." I am not an expert, maybe some other viewers can speak about running routes.

I don’t know if you were aware but the UCLA/TexasAM game TD at 3:19 was very important in that UCLA was down at one point by over 30;points.

You can see that the quarterback has to throw the ball to a place where his receiver WILL BE in a few seconds. Pretty darn impossible, in my mind, but, it happens all the time.

In college football, the clock doesn't stop if a player is downed in bounds short of a first down. If a player gets a first down, the clock stops long enough to reset the ball. The clock does stop on incomplete passes or when the player goes out of bounds with the ball while moving forward. The only difference with the NFL is that the clock doesn't even stop for first downs achieved inbounds.

Thanks Rodney, we’ll maybe have a look for some college vs NFL rule difference videos as we’ve been coming across quite a few subtle differences

Do Dante hall You’ll see a lot of end zone to end zone. He’s a kick returner. At the beginning of each game and after each scoring possession, there is a kick off. When one team kicking it off, usually the previous scoring team. Dante hall was really good at receiving the kick off. He was Barry sanders like. Very elusive.

The one were they were losing by 19 was significant because the losing team had been dominant for a few years and that was the play that put them so far behind that they couldn't come back

The further out the Field Goal kick is the lower you have to kick it to get the ball to the uprights, therefore the better chance a defense has to block it.

"I wonder how easy or difficult it is to block those [field goal/extra point kicks]." - Pretty difficult. In the NFL, there were just 14 field-goals blocked in 2021, out of 1066 field-goal attempts, meaning just 1.3% of all field goal attempts at any distance were blocked. College football is a little harder to track because of all the teams, divisions, and conferences, but I'd say it's not quite as rare, but still pretty rare.

The LSU-Kentucky play at 15:35 is known as The Bluegrass Miracle, and played at Kentucky. Kentucky was a big underdog in the game, so when the ball was tipped, the fans on the other side of field rushed it, thinking they won and even tore down the goal post

When you chuck the ball up with a hope and a prayer that your team will catch it, that's a Hail Mary (referrencing the Catholic prayer). Usually a desperation play at the end of the game.

Overtime is different in college vs NFL. In the NFL it is "sudden death", fifteen more minutes are put on the clock, if the one who wins the overtime coin toss scores a TD they win, starting with the second possession, first to score a TD, FG or safety wins. If nobody scores by the time the 15 min OT is over, it ends in a tie. In college, there are no longer possible tie games, they keep playing overtimes until someone wins. In the first two OT, each team gets a possession from the 25 yard line(25 yards to the endzone), they play like normal, 4 downs to get a first. The coin toss winner always chooses to go on defense first, so they know what they will need to either tie for another OT or win it. You are trying for a TD, then if the team with possession first fails to score a TD, they usually go for a FG unless that would do no good because the other team scored a TD. In that case, they will definitely go for it on 4th down. Starting with the 3rd OT(recently changed after having multiple 6, 7 or 8 OT games), they give each team the ball on the 2 yard line and you get 1 play to score a 2 point try(same as is possible after a TD). All following OT periods do this until one team succeeds while the other fails.

13:27 LSU must have had a miscommunication or indecisive coach because they were scrambling to substitute players, maybe for a field goal, or subbing in/out a certain formation which uses different personnel. like heavy lineman or speedy receivers. Their lack of being on the same page would have cost them as time was running out. BUT amidst the confusion, and Tennessee substituting players to match LSUs personnel, they had 12 men on the field instead of 11. That penalty allowed LSU to replay the down. Just a sloppy horrible way to end a game especially if you lose

Overtime is unlimited time and can go on forever. Each team has a chance to score from the 25 yard line. Whoever had the ball first in the first OT will get the ball second in the second overtime and it will go back and fourth until a team scores and prevents the other team from scoring. After the second OT they can't kick an extra point they must go for 2 point conversion after a Touchdown.

Really surprised that two of the most famous finishes over the last ten years weren't included, both in huge rivalry games. The 2013 "Kick Six" game where Auburn beat Alabama, and the 2015 game when the Michigan punter mishandled the snap and Michigan State taking the ball the other way for a TD.
