The replay booth clip is comically insufficient.

In this clip that the Big10 released, after they determine that the ball wasn't intercepted because the WMU player was out of bounds, the picture of the clock just pops up into the feed seemingly out of nowhere. I'm not suggesting that they doctored it, but why does the clock with "0:01" only appear at the end of the play? Where was the ball when the clock was at 0:02, 0:03, etc? The problem is that every person watching this game on TV saw a clock run down 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0. If they want to persuade anyone, they need to present a video synchronized with a clock that runs down as 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 starting at the snap. Let people run those side by side to see how the two clocks [Two clocks! I can't believe I'm typing that!] deviate from each other throughout the whole play. The only plausible explanation is that either the stadium clock started too early or the replay booth clock started too late. So which one one was it?

Based on this replay booth clip that the Big10 presented, the SEC Shorts script almost writes itself, as if the guy in the replay booth is saying "There's 1 second. Source: trust me bro."
