Great win this weekend. Great effort and a lot of heart shown.
But, once again we get the ball back with 2:38 seconds left in the half and no freakin timeouts left.
We have a first and goal at the 7 after a nice play and either can't get the personnel in the game or a play called. Why are we not prepared for a first a goal?
The next time out we punt the ball and have PSU backed up and have to burn a timeout before they run a play? Is someone not paying attention?
I am glad we won but this really frustrates me. It is going to bite us in the A$$ before the season is over. Can someone explain what is going on?
Timeouts Again!!!!!

Re: Timeouts Again!!!!!
To be fair I am pretty sure we ended the game with all three timeouts, so they didn't have any of those problems in the second half.CPACAT wrote:Great win this weekend. Great effort and a lot of heart shown.

Yeah. Use your timeouts in the first half if you have any doubts. Especially in a defensive battle, when one big play could turn the outcome. I don't really like it either, but I would rather they get it right.
Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

I have an issue with our TO usage: we basically just tried to get out of the first half by not using TO's and just basically escaping unhurt. OK, I can kind of see that. AT THE END OF THE THIRD QUARTER, WHY WAS THERE SUCH A RUCH TO GET A PLAY OFF. THERE WAS NO PLAY CLOCK AND THEREFORE NO NEED TO RUSH A PLAY. Which I might add, is the play that Carpenter hurt his ankle on because it was a busted play and he improvised. There was no need to try and do anything at all right then and there. Why the sense of urgency with 15 seconds left in a quarter and no hurry with 2:30 left in the half?????
