Minnesota clock management

[RU206]

At the end of the game was terrible. Gave the game to Michigan.

Wow...just stupid had the game won and let the clock run down to :02 with a timeout left.

That was borderline criminal.

Interm HC seemed to be in a bit over his head and didnt truly understand the situation.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

sad.
plenty of time to take at least 2 shots and still kick field goal.

Everything said so far is absolutely true, but also, instead of kicking a tying field goal, you run a QB sneak?!?!

I swear I thought I saw Flood down there coaching the Gophers. What boneheadedness by the interim coach. What a fool. He hand a win right to Michigan.

I've seen the replay now and that was bad. 19 secs down there and time to get ready with the play being reviewed. It's almost like a timeout but it wasn't. You still have to be ready after the review is done. Spike the ball and then you have 3 downs or don't call a play with all the shifting, no time for it.

I would have kicked the FG especially at home and the way the were fighting but I'm not going to argue the aggressiveness of going for the win. The time management and was bad though. You probably had time for 2 shots and a FG try with a couple secs left.

That may have been the worst I have ever seen. Classic example of where the blame is 100% on the coaches.
