Iirc, a long time ago when Baylor was a really bad program (I think it was Baylor), they lost a game when they fumbled a handoff instead of kneeling for the win and the other team recovered, and then vs the same team the next year in the same situation, they went for the kneel but botched the snap, the other team recovered and Baylor still lost the game. 🤣

THEY NEVER SHOULDVE RAN THE BALL TO BEGIN WITH. Georgia Tech had ZERO time outs and Miami had at least 2. It they ran into a situation where not enough time would run out then they could've used a time out went back out and restarted the clock, take a knee and it's done.

I guess this is why it makes sense for losing teams to still call a timeout even at the end when it seems hopeless- the other team just MIGHT do something stupid and give you the ball back

[@katarh]

Yup. It ruins the mental rhythm of the offense and breaks up the drill - and means you can sub in a fresh defender or two if the opposing team does a last second swap. Sometimes it's petty and hopeless, sometimes you have a chance to capitalize on a mental mistake.... like Tech did. But heck. Even Mark Stoops took the knee at the last play down a hopeless 51-13 yesterday, rather than risk a last second injury on an already seriously banged up offense.

[@tarico4436]

All true and nice prediction, except for the "real quick" part. Those two words are time stamped in this era. In a few years everyone will know American public school teachers were told to push those two words, or "really quickly," on their students. Or else. Why was this pushed? Because the vast majority of America's kids in the last few years bound for the factory or the cubicles, and not much thinking going on thereat. So the edict "Do task a little bit faster" sent down from on high, sent from those who breed us like cattle. Think I'm wrong? Imagine a nurse telling a brain surgeon: "Real quick, Doc, cut into this patient's head." Do you want your brain surgeon to speed things up? A coworker friend of mine heard this, and he retold the story of a friend of his requesting to "Real quick, say grace." Like God has other things to do besides listen to your prayers. "Let's go," said the Supreme Being. "We're loosing daylight." And I know it's spelled "losing" but I prefer the internet (mis)spelling.

[@WalkerSportsLounge]

THIS IS NOT MARIO'S FIRST TIME: (2018) With Oregon leading 31-28 at home and the ball near midfield, Cristobal could have had Herbert kneel to run the clock down to 16 or fewer seconds before punting. (Stanford had one timeout left.) Instead, he had CJ Verdell run on 2nd-and-2. The call looked entirely reasonable at the moment, but the redshirt freshman fumbled. Stanford took possession with 51 seconds left and drove to the tying field goal as time expired. The Cardinal won 38-31 in overtime on Colby Parkinson’s juggling touchdown catch and Alameen Murphy’s interception.

Yep, that's pure Cristobal game management meltdown for you right there. As an Oregon fan, we've seen this too many times, he would always drop a couple games in the dumbest fashion or be too stubborn in his coaching philosophy to adjust to the game at hand. So not surprised he choked right here, it was bound to happen sooner or later. He may be an ace recruiter, but as a head coach he's so so, game management has always been his Achilles heel.

Yea you can say the defense should've stopped them....true but they never should've been in that position to begin with.

@@tigergirlkitaCristobal has always had trouble with clock management, *espeically* at the end of games. Also, I think Miami just got cocky/greedy and it bit them in the ass. I like the point you made about how Miami should have never been in that position. People can blame the defense or say the fumble should have been overturned, but Miami should never have had 4 turnovers. Ultimately, a win or loss is the summation of an entire game, not just a single moment that changes the direction of that game.

[@ScrewFlanders]

@Michael-on3ku EXACTLY - well said. I roll my eyes every time a fan tries to pin down a loss to *one* play (or a coach in this case; Cristobal petitioned the NCAA after this game, whining about the called fumble). Miami had _multiple_ chances to put this game away, but instead allowed GT to keep it close until a couple missteps were all it took for GT to steal one on the road. Clearly, GT was the better team that day, and they deserved to win this game.
