It seems we had to burn potentially critical timeouts —a few times— which impacted the game, and could have impacted the game's outcome. Fortunately it did not.

I understand there were at least some changes around substitution/clock rules recently (Oregon gaming the system) and there may be more changes in the future; but if we know the CURRENT rules, how can we fall victim -repeatedly- to another team's known tactics in this regard? What are the rules around substitution/clock, and how did we fail?

I felt like poor clock management (e.g. the end of the 1st half) was the glaring weakness of this team —at least in the Utah game.

OK one other question: If a game environment is expected to be ULTRA-loud (e.g. LES/RES), can a team not make communication adjustments, e.g. visual rather than audio cues in the huddle?
