CFP Semi-Final Washington v Texas

I've seen enough of your posts to realize your football knowledge is limited. Allow me to school you and the idiots that agreed with you quickly....

The reason you run the ball instead of taking a knee is because run plays even minimal 2 yard gains eat up 4-6 seconds every play. By taking a knee which takes exactly 1 second you are potentially leaving an additional 12-18 seconds on the clock. I realize you and others have been damaged but making up **** is not the way.
K, bye.

If we are comparing it to Mario you would have had to get the first down THEN keep running the ball

First down ices the game and that’s what he had faith in his guys to do

But it wasn’t pre-iced like it was for Mario

burning more clock by running.. you mean like when they ran it and the rb got hurt and the clock stopped?

i wonder if deboer was planning to go for it had they got to 4th&3 or less (and his RBs leg didn't die). figuring he'd trust his defense not to give up 65 yards in 20 seconds

Only a complete ******* idiot compares that scenario to GT.
 
Sark play calling at the end was strange. The dump off to the back was idiotic and not one throw to their best receiver Xavier Worthy.

Both head coaches had some very head scratching moments.

DeBoer ran the ball way too much in short yardage situations. Turned it over on downs on one of them. Trick plays got Penix out of rhythm when they could’ve stepped on Texas’ throat and ended it. Time management wasn’t great either Throwing it on the last drive before the FG, was a terrible call. Ultimately the bad luck with the injury and clock stoppage put them in that situation.

But when you have a good of an offense as he does, your coaching doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to not be terrible. He just won a semi final game when he gave a C effort. Speaks volumes to what he’s already put together up there. Top 5 coach in the game right now.

Yeah I think this was a good example that if you are constantly pushing the gas, you get away with mistakes more

Our issue since Mario got here is that we have so few chances, that when we **** something up it’s magnified 100x because it usually costs us a game

Other great offenses and coaches do wild **** too but the percentages average out

Smart of UW to develop that QB from their HS recruiting… the only way winning rosters can be built

Probably not the best example to prove the point you’re trying to make. Penix was very much a developmental QB to begin and has a history with DeBoer and Grubb that pre-dates his time at UW. He’s played in this same offense for 4 years.

I could be wrong but isn't the knee done when you can run the clock out? I've NEVER heard of anyone kneeling to run MOST of it out then punt on purpose. That sounds like something Mario would do to show us he learned the kneel.

That would be correct, which is why it’s an asinine comparison to what happened vs. GT. It’s not remotely the same thing. We were in victory formation mode b/c GT had no T.Os & 3 kneels kills the clock b4 4th down. UW wasn’t in victory formation mode b/c there was still too much time on the clock w/ UT having two T.Os. They would’ve got the ball back w/ roughly 30 secs left w/ 1st down stoppage. So of course they were going to run plays to eat up as much time from that 30 secs as possible b/c explosive offenses can score in that time frame in CFB.

You guys are turning this into a GT vs this game thing when i never said the scenarios were the same

The analogy was only presented because kneeling was the safer and right decision in both cases and both coaches didn’t do it, and nearly cost both coaches a loss

I wasn’t saying anything towards you because I haven’t read all the posts my guy

Just commenting about the situation

But no I don’t think UW kneeling would have been the right call

Had DeBoers run the ball on 3rd and 10 before the field goal forcing Texas to use its second time out, he'd have never been in that situation.

That call was far worse than the run where the RB got injured.

I was watching that at home in Austin with my family and we weee baffled with the dump off. Best guess is that Quinn panicked and was trying to avoid a sack. Otherwise horrendous play.
