She did a great job getting the clock moving almost immediately after a first down and seemed to be adept at getting the penalty calls from the other officials quickly and getting the ball back in play. While most games in the past few years have slogged on for 3-1/2+ hours, this one was completed in just over 3 and there was sure no shortage of points scored. Kudos.

At the same time, she twice forgot to indicate which side the penalty was on.

More than once, she was starting the clock before the ball was even spotted to be eligible for play again. Late in the 2nd quarter, the officials huddled up and I think discussed it with her. She didn't do it anymore after that conversation.

Even after the huddle. Some cases it was almost 7 seconds before the ball was placed down.

I guess my real point is college football games have become way too long and drawn out and it was refreshing to be at a 3:00 hour game.

I am surprised UMass did not complain about that too. They could of used some more time.

Quote: If Team A (Offense) is awarded a first down, the clock stops, and is started on the Referee’s ready for play signal. Also from http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/FR17upda... Quote: e. Starts on the Referee’s Signal. For each of the following reasons, the game clock is stopped on an official’s signal. If the next play begins with a snap, the game clock will start on the referee’s signal: 1. Team A is awarded a first down, either through play or by penalty.

For the most part, it’s once the spot and a new ball is secured, the ball will be marked ready for play, this will also begin the :40 play clock. The ball does not have to be spotted in college in order to start the clock.
