My understanding is that once the Linesman marks the line of scrimmage, it doesn't matter if the chains are set, the umpire sets the ball and starts the clock.
It is also my understanding that the clock only stops when a player goes out of bounds within the last two minutes. I believe that you have to step out of bounds or be "downed" completely out of bounds. An arm or the ball doesn't count.
I'm not to sure because both college and pros slightly change their rules every two years.

Yes, that's the play.
I know the NFL changed their rules a few years ago to compensate for games running well over the 3 hours....which is set for TV schedules. Rather than reduce the number of effing commercials, they decided to reduce the number of times the clock is stopped! The explanation given previously on this page answers questions I've been having on this subject for some time. In some NFL games, you are lucky to get 4 offensive series per half! Ridiculous how much they have reduced the actual game time for the sake of $$$. 60 minutes on the clock - 12-15 minutes is average playing time. This means that the average player plays 6 minutes and 15 seconds, depending on how much time his offensive or defensive team is on the field.
College football is not quite as bad, but heading there in a hurry.
I don't see the clip under our game on espn. I guess I would have to watch the whole replay.

At the 1:12 mark, the ULM receiver caught a short pass to the right sideline and he went totally out of bounds still standng since he was barely in bounds when he caught it. The ref gave the signal to keep the clock running. I think at first the ULM QB thought the clock was stopped because he was taking his time then when he noticed it was running he hurried. It looks like 20 something seconds ran off the clock. Just my observation.
If you curious what I'm talking about, you can catch the replay on ESPN3, fast forward to around 1:12. Maybe the clock was supposed to continue. If you check it out I'm curious to know. Maybe it's a college thing if your momentum takes you out of bounds maybe the clock doesn't stop, unlike purposely running out of bounds. I would like a clarification on the call for future games.
Congrats on the championship!

KE is a machine, and the first player to run down the sideline and greet him? The 3rd string QB that led us to victory, what a class act.

Youtube is not your typical 3rd string QB... He was a man on a mission when he came in, the offense just looked quicker. I'd had to have let him pile in behind 58 and 96 on that 4th and 2 call, I don't think he'd been denied.
no doubt. On his senior night. As soon as he got put in you could tell her wasn't going to fail. he's a special guy.
