Can someone please explain why the clock didn't restart after the injury stoppage on 3rd down with 50 seconds left in the Sugar Bowl? I thought that the game clock always restarts after the ball is set following an injury stoppage with a running clock. Has this rule changed or has it always been this way? Does the fact that it was under two minutes make a difference? Even if that is the correct rule, what is the logic behind it? Doesn't it incentivize the defense to purposely injure players on the offense to "earn" what is essentially an extra time out? If Texas had won the game, this would have been the only reason why they had enough time to do so.
