Every second left on the clock made a difference at the end of Ohio State's game against Oregon.
All the evidence needed to prove that fact is the final play of the game, where Buckeye quarterback Will Howard slid to the ground one second too late to call a timeout and set up a game-winning field goal attempt in Ohio State's 32-31 loss.
One play before that final down on 3rd-and-25 with 10 seconds to play, the Ducks were penalized for having too many men on the field. The Buckeyes gained five yards to place them at Oregon's 38-yard line, but lost four seconds from the clock.
