end of half i thought we did a great job forcing FSU to use all their time outs. i assumed we did it so when we kicked off after our FG, they would just take a knee. Thats been re-hashed so lets move to FSU on their last punt reversing roles acting like they are going for it (no chance that they would from mid-field with their D reeling), and we save our TO letting FSU weakly try to draw us off burning 30 in the process. i would have rather saved the time there as i think you can stop clock easier on O under 2 minutes. The sack made it a blessing we had the TO, but i dont think we were planning on that. curious as to what those with better football minds than mine thought? whats the benefit of not stopping clock on punt?

100% correct. Use the time out on defense. After all, we were going to be rushing on offense. And under no circumstances was FSU going to go for it.
