Clock Malfunction Disrupts Florida State Game

During the Monday night matchup between Florida State and Boston College, the game was marred by a significant clock malfunction at Doak Campbell Stadium, leading to confusion for both players and broadcasters. ESPN's announcers, Bob Wischusen and Louis Riddick, struggled to keep track of time without a working game clock or scoreboard, relying instead on officials on the field to communicate the time. Fans watching the game found humor in the situation on social media, with many joking about the implications for sports betting. While the first quarter ended scoreless, the issues persisted until the clock was fixed early in the second quarter. Boston College led the game 14-6 at halftime, but the clock malfunction created a bizarre viewing experience for fans. This technical hiccup was compounded by Disney's ongoing carriage dispute with DirecTV, which had left millions without access to ESPN broadcasts the previous night.
