It's kind of gotten swallowed up in the greater conversation about the game, but I have never seen anything like that in 40 years of watching a lot of football. If there wasn't a 100% confirmed agreement between the coaches, then this is just a terrible mistake. By far. The worst mistake made all game. It ended up being no consequence. Any talk about sportsmanship is ridiculous nonsense this is P4 college football.

You 100% every time absolutely use your timeout to force the punt and give yourself a chance. Why you would somehow signal to Kalani that you weren't going to use your time out is insane. From the BYU standpoint you need to know 100% clear that you have to burn five seconds of game time +80 seconds Play Clock. This is easily done, but it does take a conscious effort. You need to slow kneel and you need to use all 40 seconds. Take a delay of game or use a time out To ensure that. On the first two plays, we snapped with 3 to 4 seconds left Which just adds to the amount of game time we need to burn.

I'm really curious more than anything. I feel like end of game kneeling situations are so basic and so mathematical that they should never be mishandled. Yet I have seen it happened too many times.
