[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 747100, member: 2627"] I think as the coach you'd rather make sure your team is in the right mindset and calm so they can score. Under normal circumstances I would actually agree with a significant amount of what you're saying other than your degrading terminology towards our coaches. But there are a bunch of factors I think outweighed the ones you're bringing up which I think are all legitimate: 1) True freshman QB playing only second game against a top 15 team without either of the TEs available with whom he has worked (this was apparently important since we had planned to use the 12 personnel group in some of those situations and having only Ward and Coco available made that very difficult - true frosh and converted walk-on who, BTW, is playing really well) 2) We've struggled so far this year in the red zone and just generally finishing drives 3) UCF Is a special case because 1:14 for them with 1 TO is the same as 1:14 with 3 TOs for other teams. Frankly they don't even need a TO with 1:14 left. I didn't love the spike when it happened and I still didn't love it when we ended up scoring. And had this been a more experienced team led by a more experienced QB I'd have been much more upset about it. But I think in this case we need to focus more on making sure we score when we have those opportunities. I'm not defending the decision as a great decision. I just don't think it's as egregiously bad or nearly as cut and dried as many of you do. [/QUOTE]
