Why is it that the game clock doesn't completely stop until the next play is ran when a player goes out of bounds? It stops temporarily, but before the next play is ran the game clock will begin ticking again. The only time I notice the game clock completely stopping when a player goes out of bounds is inside of 2 minutes in both halves.
Is this a rule? Seems like a weird rule to me if that's the case, because if there's 7 minutes in the 4th quarter and you're behind by 2 touch downs, it's pivitol the clock remains stopped as long as possible. I mean think about it, when there's an incomplete pass thrown at ANY point during the game, the game clock stops until the next play is ran. But outside of the 2 minute warning it seems random when the clock starts going again when a player goes out of bounds, because it will stop for a moment but before the team even huddles up it starts ticking again.
Always found that strange.
