Mario's Use of Time Outs - USF

Advertisement
I liked that timeout, also don’t mind in the future if we do something like that with more time on the clock late 1H with the purpose of scheming up something to get off the field.

We have an offense that can push the ball down field in chunks and in a hurry, plus the 2 min warning now gives you another chance to stop the clock and regroup. Even 30 seconds left in a half is enough for Cam to make two passes for Borregales to get into FG range.
 
One aspect of the game that I thought mattered were the TO's late in the first half as our D was gassed. It seemed to help give us a second wind and keep USF out of the end zone.
The final timeout of the first half was to stop the bleeding. Next play? They ran an option for a 2 yard loss and they had to kick a FG

Taylor also yelled at Motem Sr during the timeout. We can’t tell whether Moten took it well.

yeah he was getting after Moten about something, Bain afterward was talking to him too explaining something. Seems like he missed an assignment or got out of his gap.

I also saw it was Marley Cook who got the illegal substitution penalty in the first half. He legit got within 5 yards of the sideline and just started a nonchalant jog and let off the gas right next to the ref. Didnt make it off, got the penalty. Mario was going ape**** on the sideline and while I did not see him approach Cook I have to assume that is what it was. That is something that would absolutely **** Mario off.

They shouldn't have tried to substitute there when USF was using tempo, was not substituting and the ball was way on the other hash.

I agree but who knows why they did, maybe they thought USF did, regardless if he hustled he would have made it. No reason to not unless he was hurt and in that case fall over.

Nothing will help rehabilitate his game management image better than winning by 40+ points consistently. You could say he needs to prove it in close games, but there will always be stuff to nit pick.
