This is what is supposed to happen during games right? IDK if it's been discussed but I will see the clock not stop in some games and stop in others. Who is in charge of operating the clocks in games? A home town guy or conference official?

They stopped doing that for the whole game years ago so we could keep games under 3-1/2 hours AND get more commercials.

2023 rule change stops the clock after first downs only in the final 2 minutes of each half.
