Johnson completes a 13 yard screen to RB M. Lindsey ****Touchdown!***** [COLOR="Blue"]2 things that caught my eye. First of all, Iowa was out of timeouts so I don't understand why the Kentucky QB didn't just kneel. Secondly, I'm confused by the whole "spike the ball sequence." According to the PBP above, the Kentucky QB spiked the ball AFTER Iowa had recovered the fumble. If it just a display issue and it was Iowa that spiked the ball, do they need to do that on first down after a change of possession? Anyway, hope the end game situations can be tweaked in the update.[/COLOR]

I'll check both these out. I'm guessing the spike is a logic error in that it didn't sort out the clock stopping for the turnover. You are also correct in that Kentucky should have just pulled a knee if Iowa had no TOs.

Moving to tech support so I keep it with the other items for the update.

It looks like it was actually the Iowa QB who spiked the ball (on the play after Kentucky fumbled the ball back to Iowa). The error is that the PbP says "Kentucky ball 1-10". Another problem I see, based on the PbP, is that the ball on that play should be on the Kentucky 14 rather than the Kentucky 8. However, this has been corected for the 2nd down PbP. So, the errors involve the PbP, not the logic (although I don't understand why the Iowa QB would spike the ball on 1st down after a change-of-possession timeout).
