Message: [QUOTE="FortyFourCT, post: 817980, member: 382"] I think the TO with 3 minutes left was the correct call 100% of the time. Look at it this way, by not calling the TO, Pitt bleeds the entire play clock. If we save the timeout to stop the clock ourselves, how much time are we saving? Not the whole play clock because when on offense we control how quickly we snap the ball. Even with our slow hurry up offense, we still get the snaps off with more than 1 second left, so it is a net savings of time. With 3 minutes in college, you don't need a timout. The clock stops on first downs. The whole playbook was open to us. We just didn't play call or execute properly, but it was the right use of the timeout. [/QUOTE]
