Is that a fact?
Anything other than an incomplete pass or a play that goes out of bounds and some more time would have run off the clock.
Yes. Unless you want to count maybe 100th of a second. When the play clock is run down, you either snap the ball and the clock continues to run, get a penalty and the clock stops, or call timeout and come back in and the clock starts at the same point it would have when you would have snapped the ball. I feel like I am trying to explain football to my wife.

When you're trying to run the clock out and you have to call timeout, that is a clock management issue, a comical one at that. You did the defense a favor because they didn't have to burn a timeout. (I feel like I'm explaining football to my grandma.) Go back and look at that play if you want, Lsu wasn't just trying to run down the play clock and call timeout, they were trying to run a play there but they couldn't due to confusion.
The announcers made mention of Cameron being new and needing to get on the same page as everyone else. Mett was visibly irritated and kept throwing his hands up. They had to call timeout to avoid a penalty, it wasn't like they planned it that way.
