That’s easy, Whitley had TWO timeouts with 1:57 on clock with North at 50 yard line. That’s why they ran it on 1st down.
They got 12 yard gain, still had 1:45 on clock with two timeouts.
Couldn’t just take a knee and besides it wasn’t a run when he fumbled.
It was a bad snap qb center exchange
Even if he was taking a knee it would’ve been a fumble.
Qb never got ball from center.
Don’t have to defend anything, NL played over their heads with backup center, two brand new offensive lineman and someone asked earlier about two point conversion because North is on their third string long snapper.
Not excuses because North played a bad fourth quarter and still had game won but football is 48 minutes and not 47 minutes and 30 seconds, anything. Can happen and miracle worked out at the end for Whitley

Did Whitley defense cause a bad snap?
