to use a TO now it would have been poor form. If he didn't do it on 1st down then he wouldn't use it at all. It's like kicking an onside kick up 42 pts.

BYU was going to take the same number of snaps, regardless of the timeout.

That's not necessarily true.

"That sort of thing happens somewhere every few years." When? Where?

I don't have a log. I know there was one last year or the year before

Not in victory formation. It just doesn't happen.

momowagon

yeah, it very, very rarely happens from victory formation.

Sure, if he was going to call a timeout, he should have done it on the 1st snap

VERY few college-level coaches would pull something like that. Looking at you...

Their coaches are horrible at clock management...

Honestly though SMU used their timeouts in a way the CB always complains about

We got the ball back with 1:25 to go. The worst case would be for us to run out the clock

When SMU didn't call the timeout on first down, they conceded the game. Using it

I get it, but the eagles fumbled a snap when trying to seal their game

That wasn't victory formation. Eagles were trying to run the ball.

They could have forced a punt. We needed to burn 5 seconds of game time. So

But it’s not bad sportsmanship to get the ball back and throw a Hail Mary.

It is bad sportsmanship to concede the game and then try and get the ball back.

Who says they conceded the game by not calling a timeout after the first play

kosmokramer

Sep 9, 11:00am

No, holy cow. In this game SMU signaled they weren’t going to extend the game by holding onto their TO after 1st down

this is the question. Is that just an assumption? because to me that is not
