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.

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

Sep 9, 9:01am

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

Some coaches have class and good sportsmanship

Such a stupid argument. What does that even mean? BYU needs to execute the

Why? Barring a crazy fumble, the games was over.

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.

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

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
