I often think that game management is somewhat overrated at least in comparison to recruiting, schemes, player development and motivation. My prime example is Nick Saban who is a horrendous game manager but the best coach in CFB. Still watching the Wisconsin-MSU it was amazing to watch Bielema and Dantonio both give the game away. I thought for sure when Bielema ran the ball 3 straight times leaving 2 minutes on the clock against a team that had its way offensively that he gave the game away. You do that if you have LSUs defense not Wisconsins.
Yet he was bailed out by an even more insane decision by Dantonio to go for the punt block.
You basically had one coach who was so conservative he tried to give the ball away. And another who was reckless and gave the game away.
