Obviously those 3 points wound up not being too consequential, but usually conferences come out the day after or on Monday morning and issue some statement about the officiating if an error occurred.
It's pretty clear that they didn't properly start the clock when the ball is snapped. The replay official and on-field ref are actually correct that there DOES appear to be :01 at the very moment Fields knee goes down (pause the below video just before :06 into the clip). So the fuck-up in this situation is the clock guy.
Bizarre ending to the first half in State College.
Both teams had left the field when the officials said there was one second on the clock, giving Penn State time to hit a 50-yard FG. pic.twitter.com/xhVPS80PBW
