It bothered me in the TCU @ Colorado game in the first quarter with when Colorado had 3rd & 5 at the TCU 12. The refs called a delay of game that wasn't. It looked like an iffy call to me in real time, so I backed it up & re-watched in slow motion & the play clock showed :01 as the shotgun snap was clearly out of the center's hand. There was no score at the time, so mentally the game was up for grabs, CU had some momentum, and that bad call killed it. They settled for 3 points and lost their mojo. Some games can turn on a play, this one may not have, but I would like to back up the time machine & see what would have happened on that 3rd & 5 play.
I mean, I don't remember this play, but it's also possible that the TV display of the play clock was wrong. Especially since we're talking about ESPN, who are known for their terrible production quality, particularly when it comes to the Pac-12.
