We could have run the clock down much further before taking the knee on 3rd down

SMU was showing good sportsmanship so we obliged by not waiting until the last second to snap and kneel.

BYU knelt the ball with 18 seconds left in the 4th quarter. The scoreboard...

It wasn’t 4th down. We knelt on 3rd down with 18 seconds left. We still had

You are both correct.

Right, so timeout forces a punt.

Kyle, upon seeing two teams do things sportsmanlike at the end of a game...

Let's hope Kalani doesn't do something like this against Utah.

Which is dumb, its not sportsmanship to let the clock roll - time has to run

ABCoug

AGREED. You can’t assume the other team will play “fair.” You have to make them.

7FootRussian

Sep 7, 9:20am

What is "fair" about not using a timeout you have

kosmokramer

Sep 7, 1:39pm

I am agreeing with you. If a coach makes a mistake, you capitalize on it.

7FootRussian

Not calling a timeout is only good sportsmanship when the game is out of hand.

HonestTakes

Sep 7, 9:45am

There was only a 1 second difference between the game and play clock.

He could have called time at 20 seconds when JR took a knee. There was a bit of

As previously stated, we could have run the clock down further, but SMU

How did they "signal"? A wink, wink?

ABCoug

Sep 7, 10:45am

By not calling it after first or second down.

tkh9

Sep 7, 10:52am

Idk - some people are wired as savers

ABCoug

Sep 7, 11:06am

But what if the coach noticed it and called TO? You HAVE to let the clock run

RGGeemer

Kalani is friends with Rhett Lashlee

Sep 7, 3:21pm

“to guess” are the key words here

ABCoug

Sep 7, 8:15pm

And he was right. Move on.

tkh9

Sep 7, 11:21pm

They needed 2 timeouts. 1 was not enough to force a punt so they conceded.

momowagon

Sep 7, 10:05am

wondered same thing. I thought maybe espn was wrong & SMU didn’t really have TO

zerome4sooners

Sep 7, 4:34am

SMU had not used the timeout the play before, signaling they weren't going to

Time has to run anyways, why leave it to chance?

I don't get the "Just stop." It was definitely a fair question. I thought it

Amen. I very valid question as clearly many were confused

ColonelMustard

Sep 7, 9:26am

Just stop? Oh, ok. so nobody can ask a question? The announcers couldn’t unders

Coug-Ida

I had the exact same thought...

Same here. He’s going to get excoriated for not using that time out. Us

No he won't. If he was trying to extend the game he would have used it the play

ryebrye

SMU coach should be excoriated, inexcusable not to take your timeout

ABCoug

When did Lavell step on someone's throat?

Les IsMore

It could have been a Michigan State over Michigan situation, or they could have

Sadly, I wonder if our coaches even recognized that.

kansascougar

1:25 so 85 seconds left

goidcougs

Sep 7, 7:26am

Math is hard.

momowagon

Sep 7, 9:17am

Yes, that's what I meant. Just over two 40 second play clocks.

Corn Pop

Sep 7, 10:28am

I think not running up the score is disrespectful to your opponent.

EDthoracotomy

you're missing good sportmansip

Zoobieman

Sep 7, 8:28am

How is it good sportsmanship to snap 20 seconds early though? It's 20 seconds.

RGGeemer

Sep 7, 3:14pm

I think BYU's offense messed up. . .

Zoobieman

Sep 7, 11:29pm

100% correct & another coaching fail here for BYU.

DoctorEvil

Sep 7, 8:57am

I don't recall ever seeing a coach "eat" a TO at the end of the game with that

EM_Puma

The whole situation is really quite baffling

kosmokramer

Yeah the defense can be "sportsman" by not attacking but they get the benefit of

Why all the thumbs down on this post? Did I say something incorrect? False?

it's not what you said. . . it's what you didnt say

??? Which was?

COACHdrn

Zoobieman

Yeah I don’t get it either. Perfectly reasonable question/post.
