Damn Wazzou

Never seen that before. Wazzu should have just taken a knee every play. Sad day for the Leach fanatics.
Am I doing this math right?
Second and 10 with 2:00 left and running with a 25 second play clock after the review
Snap it with 1:35 left, kneel it, and it is spotted with 1:30 left, 40 second play clock
Third and 10, snap it with 50 seconds left, kneel it, it is spotted with 45 seconds left, 40 second play clock
Fourth and ten, let it run all the way down to five seconds, and call timeout
At this point you can either punt it or snap it and run backwards to run the clock out.
Zero excuse to lose that game.

Was shocked when I saw that. I'd been watching the game but quit with about 4 minutes left and WSU up 15. Couldn't believe they lost. But that's why Mike Leach will never win championships. It's one thing to be able to run on draw plays, but to win big, you've got to be able to run when people know you need to run the ball.
All due respect, how many times did Dykes get em close to 10 wins and a conference championship?
And what do you think Leach was? Consistently pretty good teams, but never a real threat to win a conference title. Never played in the Big 12 title game (only tied for 1st in his division once and got his *** kicked by an SEC team in the bowl game that year). Only finished ranked in the top 15 once and only in the top 25 5 times in 10 seasons.

His record speaks for itself. He's an oustanding coach.
