Every coach has their own philosophy and habits. It's clear after watching Dino for seven seasons that if he has a lead and the other team is driving deep in our territory with under two minutes remaining, he doesn't like using his timeouts to preserve one last offensive drive in case the other team scores. Against Clemson in 2018, that strategy killed us. Against Purdue, it worked out. I think not using timeouts there will hurt you more often than it will help you.

We were the beneficiary of some significant luck. Those two meathead unsportsmanlike conduct penalties by Purdue allowed us to get about 35-40 yards of free field position. If that doesn't happen, our chances of winning that game are much lower. Even the announcers were suggesting that we should use timeouts when there was about 1:30 left and the clock was running.

Obviously, we won the game and all is well. But going forward this season, I really hope Dino will consider expanding our margin of error by using timeouts more strategically.
