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.

which now makes it 4th down with 18 sec left. Had SMU used their TO, we would

Right, so timeout forces a punt.

RGGeemer

Sep 7, 3:08pm

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

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.

Sep 7, 9:57am

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?

By not calling it after first or second down.

tkh9

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?

ABCoug

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

spidercoug

Sep 7, 8:49am

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

Sep 7, 11:14am

I had the exact same thought...

NotoriousBUD

Sep 7, 4:53am

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

cougsareforreal

Sep 7, 5:02am

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

Sep 7, 8:46am

When did Lavell step on someone's throat?

Les IsMore

lol, Umm… SMU, they took out their starters and the rest is history

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

IIRC, there were 125 seconds left. With a 40 second play clock and SMU holding

Corn Pop

Sadly, I wonder if our coaches even recognized that.

kansascougar

Sep 7, 7:01am

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

Sep 7, 8:25am

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

Zoobieman

Sep 7, 11:23am

??? Which was?

COACHdrn

This thread explains it well enough

Zoobieman

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