Was Kirk unaware the game was over?

This case it was absolute perfect clock management

It used to be that even in the case when you scored a game-winning TD, you HAD to snap the ball for a PAT attempt. But the rule apparently was changed recently in light of the fact that no one would actually kick the ball with the lead. They'd just kneel down, making the PAT attempt moot. At least that's one explanation.

The clock management has been much improved these last several years. I think it was a warranted grievance by the fan base first half of Kirk‘s career.

I was wondering about this. IF the Hawks were obligated to make a PAT try...would you not just do a victory formation kneel down?

After Vanderzee’s catch, TV caught Kirk raising a finger to an official as if signaling “1” for PAT. Moments later the head ref announced the game was over. Did Kirk not realize Iowa had won with a 6-point touchdown and time expired, up by 1, and no opportunity for Michigan to get the ball?
