10-second run off rule?

With 2 seconds remaking against Oregon State, an OSU player was injured which resulted in a stopped clock. By new rule there should have been a 10-second runoff, essentially ending the game. Instead the refs added 1-second to the clock (minimum necessary to spike the ball) and were able to kick the missed field goal. Does anyone know why the rule was not utilized? It didn't end up mattering, but could have cost EWU a victory.
 
The refs completely blew it. I listened to Oregon State's post game how driving home and said it was a straight up refereeing error. We had a runoff last year against Montana State properly called. I can only imagine this crew is going to get a reprimand from the NCAA.
 
There was more than adequate time to Google it :lol: if they could not get it right. I thing the clock did not start until the snap due to the first down. What I think sucked was adding 1 second so they could spike it. Someone (in stripes) wanted the Pac 12 to save face.
 
I was yelling at the refs from the sidelines on that as well as the injured Beaver was on the ground, thinking the 10sec run off should have taken place. Them I Google it last night and found that it is Not in effect if the time stoppage is due to an injury. At least that's how I read it.
BUT adding an extra second on the clock so they can spike the ball....????
That was indeed a gimme from the ref to a Pac-12 school.
 
The rule is that a team without timeouts cannot stop the clock by staying on the ground injured, forcing the refs to stop it. If so, there is an automatic 10 second run-off (they could also use a timeout, if they had any). I'll try to pull the rule when I get a chance. The OSU announcers on their post-game show said it was a straight up blown call.
 
Clock Stops Due to Injury
During the play player is injured. Ball carrier is tackled inbounds short of the line to gain.
Ruling: injured player must leave the game for at least one play. Opposing team has the option of a 10 second runoff. The team with the injured player may avoid the runoff by being granted a timeout.

Since the Beavs didn't have TO, there should have been an announcement of a 10 second runoff, game over.
 
"Ball carrier is tackled inbounds short of the line to gain."
Since they gained a first down the runoff rule does not apply... I think.
 
The rule was explained online

4. Expansion of the 10-second runoff

If a player is injured within the last minute of a half, and this is the only reason for stopping the clock, the opponent may choose to have 10 seconds subtracted from the game clock. The injured player's team can preserve the 10 seconds by using a timeout.

Maybe coach decided not to have the 10 seconds subtracted because he felt sorry for the Beavs.

Baldwin explained the call on the coaches show last night... he said initially he thought it was a bad call, but later realized it was the right call... because the clock stops with a 1st down in college ball, not in the NFL. There was 3 seconds on the clock when the player was down by contact with a 1st down. Whether or not the player was putting on a show, is another story.
