[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 747030, member: 2299"] We spiked the ball at 1:36. Based on what we were doing most of the game after getting a 1st, if we didn't spike it we'd have run another 20 seconds ish off the block after. So if we snapped it at about 1:15 we'd likely get under a minute before we snapped it on second down. Regardless of how the math works out, under a minute, down by 21, with a tr freshman, time is a factor in that situation. It's not about the math, it's about how the player reacts to that. And considering Sims had 0 experience at this level in that situation, it's a risk that there was no need to take. That is even more true considering we were without our power running RB and without two TEs so there isn't an obvious go to play. Except you don't understand that game management isn't just about being able to subtract 40 from 96 and isn't as simple as you think it is. You don't treat that situation the same with a true freshman qb as you do with a 3 year starter. When you're down your goal line RB you don't treat it the same. When your Qb has had TO issues in the redzone you don't treat it the same. Sorry, but ignoring anything except 5th grade math doesn't mean you know the game concepts better than the coach. That is especially true since you seem to care more about the time than the loss of down. When you're down by 21 in the first half you don't worry about whether an extra 20 seconds is going to give them too much time to score. If that's an issue then you've already lost. You worry about getting the 7, because you have to get that to give yourself a chance, and if that means that keeping time on the board makes the qb/team calmer and more likely to score you do that and not worry about that extra 20 seconds.
