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.

If I remember correctly, didn't we score more against TCU than you did against ULL? If you don't man up and answer this question, then everything you've said will be null and void.

I was never saying it was planned and optimal. I am saying that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill and that it didnt matter. See bolded above. If they were going to call a timeout, dont you think they would have done it before the play clock was at 1 second. This cost us nothing except one timeout and this situation is the reason you keep them. I am through nit picking this one insignificant play.
