I am losing my mind over the end of the Ohio State-Clemson game.

It has nothing to do with the actual teams, I really didn't care either way.

PLEASE KEEP THIS FOCUSED ON THE COACHING SIDE OF THINGS.

Fan stuff has no place.

I am even going to ask that no one brings up other aspects of the game. Feel free to start another thread to do that.

At the end of the game, Clemson is 2nd and 13 with a running clock and there's about :31 left. Ohio State has two time outs.

Game over.

Then, Clemson gets an unsportsmanlike penalty for running onto the field.

It is now 2nd and 28, and the clock is stopped.

My initial reaction is "holy crap!", because now Ohio State can stop the clock on 3rd and 4th down with the timeouts, and get the ball back with 20 seconds or so.........

.........and then I proceeded to watch them let the clock run out.

I'm trying to not wake my wife up as I'm flipping out.

Did I miss something? Did anyone else notice it?

Dislikes: Turnovers, Negative Rushing Plays, mental penalties, false stepping, 3-and-outs

Likes: 4+ yards on 1st down, 2nd and short, victory formation

What the hell was that??? I kept waiting for them to say why are they passing out winners gear already when there is still timeouts left. Crazy!!!

I know the thing on the screen said two, but they burned one in the 3rd quarter or early 4th quarter.

Full disclosure: Clemson QB Tajh Boyd played for us so I did have a rooting interest. That said, the end of that game was like a clinic on how to eff up a game. When Tajh threw that INT with less than 2 minutes left I immediately posted on Facebook that I didn't understand why you'd throw the ball there. The time-outs? How do you lose a game by less than a TD and leave TO's on the board?

A former Steeler, asked what Chuck Noll would think of the hours put in by modern coaches said, "He'd be amazed that there were people so inefficient that they couldn't get everything done in a working day".

They only had one timeout left. Screen said two, but that was wrong. They used their second timeout immediately following the first play Clemson ran after Braxton's final pick.

Alright.

Thanks for the clarification. One timeout means no dice.

Again:

That's right, I just quoted myself.

Now that I have clarification, I'm going to close this thread (as it has ran it course) and start a new one in general offense concerning end of game decision making.

Here it is: coachhuey.com/thread/62637/4-minute-offense

Thanks to all.
