Butch and the clock

[Gandalf]

I love CBJ but seriously, I have rarely seen anyone waste time on the clock going into a half like he does. With 30 seconds and 2 TOs why are we not fighting to at least get in for a field goal? I am sorry, no wonder the players get the idea that they only turn on in second half. They are not being shown that you fight to the death on every...single...down. Dont talk to me about charts, that is inexcusable.

I think this is the 3rd week in a row weve had this thread at halftime.

 

[UneducatedGuess]

Been the same strategy for 4 years. Surprised you don't realize it by now.

I'll take the other good qualities that come with CBJ

It's right up there with"Why'd we call a draw on 3rd and 30?" as far as predictable threads.

 

[BenGrimm]

He must think they carry over into the second half.

We've been moving the ball fairly well. No reason to not take at least one more shot for a score.

Also 3rd week in a row people in the game thread say stick a fork in us cause were down by 2 scores.

No reason? Turnovers? Have you watched the game?

Except it's a valid argument

After uf, I'll keep my mouth shut...

Nobody is saying that - but good Lord! cant we complain where we see something that just isnt good coaching. I am not talking about the rest of what he is doing - I think we will come back just why do we have to waste an opportunity?

 

[dev47]

OH he has a watch (clock) hope it comes into play next 2 qts

 

[82Grad]

Looks like Jauan wasn't too happy with the decision to not take a shot.

Maybe CBJ and clock management go together like fish and bicycles.

Its really aggarvating watching Butch not put no trust in his team in situations like this!

 

[nash101]

When you don't have a quick strike offense, you don't take chances
When your offense is an inept as our is in the first half, you don't take a chance

Butch has done the correct thing to the end the half each time (and maybe set Bama up to relax next week as Dobbs throws deep when they are walking off the field)

 

[teeball]

Really? Maybe we should punt on 1st down for fear of turning the ball over ... geesh !!!

 

[JuicyBrucey]

We're lucky A&M didn't put their offense out there when Butch called the time out.
