EARTH TO MARIO…. Take a knee

[Fly1]

What is wrong with him

Just take a knee for frick sake

Have you not learned your lesson

 

[TaylorWalls]

So you're not good at math either.

 

[RangerGranger]

It would have allowed another possession tho.

In that case, I think he did the right thing. He controlled the destiny and you have to side with that every time.

They had three knees against one timeout. They could kill 1:20 with knees. The longer plays ate about 15 seconds and guaranteed UNC would have no Hail Mary opportunity.

For some reason 90% of the gameday thread posts ignored this.

 

[bigweez]

Had to run time off the clock. Don't listen to the stupid announcers that couldn't do math either

 

[RomeoJunior]

All is well. Non-story. Talk about the defense if you wanna complain.

announcer was quick to bring up GT

 

[BloodEunsOrangeAndGreen]

Yea UNC running the ball on the ten yard line and having to use their second timeout was awful coaching. If they don’t do that it would have forced miami to have to get a first down to ice the game.

I love that the OP does not understand math.

Incorrectly.

Math is hard

But, you don't have to take the knee immediately. Can burn 5-6 seconds standing and moving around in the backfield before finally taking the knee. Didn't have to run any plays. Just take 3 delayed knees. We started at UNC 40, so we had plenty of room to run a few yards backwards each play.

That was the play that cost them.

What is going on with these threads? We needed to take more time to ensure the clock ran out.

 

[Virginia_Cane]

4 years ago we were too dumb to take a knee, now our QB is milking clock to ice the game on a knee

 

[919cane]

Earth to OP UNC would've got the ball back if he just kneeled

It's no different than announcers bringing up Hail Flutie for years anytime there was an end of half or end of game hail Mary attempt

You're completely WRONG!!! Simple math would tell you we needed to run the ball to take time off the clock to end the game. Mensah did exactly whst was required to take just enough time off of the clock not to run another play on 4th down. You should delete this thread.
