Replays showed that Stave did get his knee down for a brief second, however Arizona State believed that it was a fumble, and ASU Anthony Jones dove on top of the ball, with the game clock running. At this point Badgers players signalled to the officials, pointing out the delay of game penalty by ASU due to Anthony being top of the football. Umpire Jack Folliard motioned to Stave acknowledging his knee, however the rest of the officiating crew allegedly did not see this signal. The umpire then spotted the ball after a significant delay, but told the Wisconsin offensive line to wait to line up, even though the clock continued to run. Finally, with approximately 2 seconds remaining, the umpire rushed behind the defensive line as Wisconsin tried to run a play to spike the ball and stop the clock but the clock reached zero before the ball was snapped and the game was over. Initially after the game ASU coach Todd Graham stated "The quarterback put the ball on the ground while he was still standing up, he hadn't been tackled," and "So that should have been a turnover. That should have ended the game." And after watching the footage after the game he acknowledged the officiating error when he stated "You win or you lose. We won and let's move onto the next deal. Obviously, that was a very unusual deal." The next day saw sports commentators and articles who reported on the "bizarre end" of the game in Tempe.Wisconsin-Arizona State Game Ends In Bizarre Fashion Timothy Burke http://deadspin.com/wisconsin-arizona-state-game-ends-in-bizarre-fashion-1317492146 Deadspin September 15, 2013 October 26, 2013Arizona State, Wisconsin Review Bizarre Ending Doug Haller https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/pac12/2013/09/15/arizona-state-sun-devils-wisconsin-badgers-referee-controversy/2817637/ USA Today September 15, 2013 October 26, 2013Time Runs Out on Wisconsin in Bizarre Ending Against Arizona State Kyle Ringo https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/time-runs-wisconsin-bizarre-ending-against-arizona-state-070341238--ncaaf.html Yahoo!
