EARTH TO MARIO…. Take a knee

What? We were winning already. Didn't need to kick a FG whatsoever in that situation. Just needed to burn 1:20. Running the ball 3 times would have accomplished that and taking 3 delayed knees would also accomplish that. Most teams take 3 delayed knees. Works every time.

Do you understand we were up by 3? If they had to kick a field goal they go up by six and at worse UNC has one play from the 25 yard line to score a TD. And no taking a knee would not have run out the clock. Go back and watch again.

Taking 3 DELAYED knees would have run out the clock. Have you noticed I've been putting the word "delayed" before the word kneeling or knees? I know we could not just take 3 immediate knees and run out the clock. I'm well aware we had to burn a few more seconds off the clock in the given situation and time remaining and taking 3 delayed knees would have accomplished that. I'm not saying running Mallory was wrong, but it just wasn't necessary.

Beg to differ. Go watch it again.

When the full replay comes out, I will go back and watch the final 1:20. I agree with you that running Mallory probably burned 6 seconds every run. I'm also saying having Mensah take delayed kneel downs could also burn 6 seconds off the clock.
