Message: [QUOTE="Full_Rebar, post: 1535850, member: 3530"] There was no need to rush. There was close to a minute left and we don't go up-tempo on offense, so you can take time in the huddle, run the play and then call the time out if you don't get in. It's possible to manage the clock in a way that the 4th down play becomes the final play of the half. In the UVA game, there was no reason not to call a time-out after they failed on 3rd down and were going to kick to tie. We gave up the opportunity for a kick return, and allowing the offense a chance to win the game before OT. The issue in all this is that everyone agrees our offense is far ahead of our defense this year, yet Shafer and the staff are making calls which indicate the opposite. You can complain about the defense giving up drives, but when our staff is passing up opportunities to help them out, that is open for criticism. We all praised the aggressiveness against LSU, but where has that been since that time? [/QUOTE]
