Total mismanagement: Play Clock=Game Clock

[scottybob]

Amazing. CBJ was bashed for trying to milk the clock last year. This year he is not doing it enough. Not sure what to make of this.

That is the problem. He went ultra conservative trying to eke out the win but DIDN'T milk the play clock.
(Fl and OU last year)

It does not matter what CBJ does. If he runs the clock down, then he is too conservative. If they go quick, then he is too aggressive. He can't please VolNation.

Exactly! It is easy to pick things apart after the game is over and the outcome is known.

Now that I am thinking about it, it was the same thing at Bristol. We had a lead, and I think with about 8 minutes left, we were snapping the ball with 15 seconds left consistently. At that point we were up 17 points, and the game wasn't out of reach (see Ole Miss vs Alabama). Do that 3 times, and that's 45 seconds you "lost". 45 seconds = about 10% of the remaining clock at that point, which is a big percentage of time you could have wasted.

Obviously it actually was out of reach. That 17 point lead that made some nervous became a 21 point victory, with a temporary 28 point lead thrown in for good measure. So why some were getting nervous about the coaches blowing the lead, the coaches were busy doing the right thing to make the difference even more comfortable.

He got away with it against the first 3. Have to be smart against the better teams. We'll see

You obviously don't know who I am. lol......

I don't know who you are. That came across like you consider yourself to be someone of importance. So who are you?
