College Football Worst Clock Management Fails

[@marclaporte3710]

As a Texas fan and my dad being an LSU fan, Les Miles is the bane of our existence. How the hell did Kansas beat Texas.... lol but more importantly the 21-0 beating in the national championship speaks volumes when it comes to coaching between Les and Saban. LSU beat them 9-6 earlier in the season and Les thought, "He let's not make any adjustments or change a damn thing for the title game cause we know how to beat them". While Saban went looking through every play thinking and strategizing how to win every play. LSU has always had ridiculous offensive weapons that weren't used right because Les loved calling his beloved HB sweep to the left in the big I formation on 3rd and 6 instead of throwing the ball to Lanrdy, OBJ, or Randle.

Personally, they should have spiked it, but that is a retrospect viewpoint.

[@eldiesel4593]

Spike it immediately and have 3 throws to the endzone. You don't plan on that first play with goal to go being tipped, but that's why all throws need to be to the endzone. If there's 0:02 remaining on 3rd & Goal, Murray can take off if he sees a lane, but while there is time for an additional play, the throws need to be to the endzone.

What a gut-wrenching way to lose a game!

[@johnr5252]

Spiking the ball on 4th down. Brilliant.

[@inquisitorbear8312]

You need to show the lead up to the LSU-Ole Miss play, on 3rd down LSU was sacked with 27 seconds left and then let the clock run down to 9 seconds before calling the timeout, which was the real huge blunder of that scenario

[@Miki-xo9nl]

That’s deference from baseball, in which a team doesn't lose a game until it gets 27th outs.

[@JDoe-gf5oz]

Lol @ that ucf coach. That TD made his year.

[@untexan]

8:11 This was not a clock management fail. You can see Bielema was waiting to see if Michigan State could get set up in time before he called the timeout. Sparty was clearly ready to kick the field goal before he called it.

[@anb7408]

That E. Carolina game was Ruffin McNeill’s next to last season….for obvious reasons. I would’ve fired him right then had I been the AD. That was beyond stupid!

[@WDB2005]

5:17 Why didn’t Minnesota go for the field goal?

[@williamredmond8462]

I guess they figured that since they were on the half yard line, they might as well go for the win.

[@dashien2605]

They were robbed imo, that shit was a TD

[@mrcnub]

6:38 Gotta love the extremely audible "oh shit" being broadcast to the world. Hopefully they didn't get a hefty FCC fine for that.

[@Buckeyecrazed]

6:40 holy shit 😂😂😂

[@Philostipher]

Gotta love the Syracuse wide receiver on the far side of the field doing a casual jog back to the line with no time left on the clock. I can guarantee the receivers coach ran him into the dirt the next practice

[@aaronskrenes8938]

Wisconsin calling a timeout against MSU made perfect sense.

[@kmir224]

yeah, not as terrible as the commentators made it seem. MSU was already lined up for the FG and had 12 seconds to settle down and kick it

[@TheAndyk123]

@@kmir224 Yeah, and it left 7 seconds on the clock after the field goal. I assume Wisconsin lost the game anyway, but at least it gave them a chance to touch the ball again. With no timeout, he kicks the FG with 2 seconds left on the clock and the game is over.

[@bluesilver12]

I think the rationale is that Michigan state was rushing to get the field goal off therefore more prone to make a mistake and/or miss the kick. With Wisconsin taking a timeout, Michigan state has more time to calm down and be prepared. Sometimes trying to ice the kicker has the opposite effect.

[@Feddy99]

Might as well have me coaching out there 😂😂 works in madden

The next time you do this video, you should include South Dakota’s Hail Mary against South Dakota State

[@davidjaerobins4180]

The 2016 LSU Auburn game was the nail in the coffin for Les Miles.

[@YinzerJr79]

Idk how much could have been done about that LSU / Ole Miss clip. There was 1 second on the clock, as soon as the ref moves from the ball, you're probably not going to get a snap off, kick or no kick.

[@mbuvito]

Should be noted on that last clip of Tennessee stopping LSU at the goal line, Vols got called for too many men on the field so LSU got to run one more play. LSU won that game.

[@rasslebaby]

I audibly gasped when the subs came in at the very end of the video my god

[@trevorhoward1490]

Notice how the clock stopped on the LSU vs Ole Miss clip…it never should’ve stopped to begin with. That was ball game either way.

[@joshdavis5215]

I haven't even watched the video yet, but as a LSU fan I know that the words worse playclock management and a picture of Les Miles goes hand in hand

[@bradleyr.6385]

Could have done a top 10 all time with Les Miles alone 😂

[@anb740]

I have absolutely no use for any coach who tries to run out the clock. It shows weakness and can come back to bite you on the ass! You keep playing until the clock reads 0:00.

[@According_To_Matt]

As a Michigan fan, this video affirms my joy that Les Miles never got the job in Ann Arbor.

[@MrRobd23]

only 5 min into this video and I am irrationally angry LOL
