    Clock management in College Football is terrible.

    These teams also don't have a clue when to take a timeout either. 2 and 4 for ND and Boston College takes a time out on defense. Why would they do that??? I don't care where ND is on the field with a minute left.

    And Boston College didn't throw just now to get a closer shot at a fg. They just ran the clock out.

    College and NFL are both horrible managing the clock, when to go for 2, etc. I don't understand why teams don't hire guys from the engineering school that can run simulations and give them game in advice. Saban seems to be the only guy in CFB that hires a shit load of people just to do analytics.

    It was never that bad and it shouldn't be. You have a head coach and an assistant in the booth and one should know what to do.

    Don't forget when you're at a game there's a lot of distractions and it's called black out

    Someone should make the decisions from home because anywhere at the stadium just distractions and they lose your train of thought a lot

    Actually I think most head coaches can manage the clock fairly well.
    It's when the player has $$$ out there the clock becomes an inigma

    Most coaches are jocks, not statisticians and game theory experts

    Amazing how hard it is to recruit a good kicker. How can it be this difficult?

    Memphis went for a fake FG with 2 minutes and change left in the game. They were up 3, should have kicked the FG, then bury UCLA with the kickoff. They lose the points and the ball, with only a FG needed to tie them. Luckily the Bruins chocked but it was obviously the wrong decision.

    Get used to it fellas. These guys are doing a job, get paid at their position more than most of you get paid at yours, and because you don't understand the job at hand, you will always be confused and assume the coach is just terrible.

    Let it go or don't be so naive.

    The best advice I can give is to handicap all games so you can follow the money, maybe you'll gain some understanding.

    BC hasn't had a head coach with half a brain since O'Brien.
    Addazio has meatloaf for brains.
    BC is just a terrible program.

    coaches are explayers with a ton of concussions - so have impaired judgement - and low budgets don't allow for a time management person on a team.

    Anybody catch the last minute of the Chargers/Dolphins game? What a bunch of idiots on both sides. Chargers totally confused with about 10 seconds to go in the game. River's was going to spike the ball but the kicking team came out on the field with no timeouts left. Stupid Miami calls a timeout for them to let them have a chance to kick the FG. WTF? Then their dumb ass kicker misses the kick anyway. That was unreal. How does that happen in a professional game???

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Chargers just keep finding new ways to break their fans’ hearts.
    Los Angeles fell to 0-2 after missing a potential game-winning field goal for a second straight week. Younghoe Koo pushed his kick wide right, giving the Dolphins a 19-17 win. Last week, his game-winning attempt was blocked in Denver.

    The Chargers were lucky to even get the attempt off. If it wasn’t for Adam Gase’s odd timeout to bail out Los Angeles, the time may have ran out as the kicking unit ran onto the field while Philip Rivers was getting the team lined up to spike the ball. Los Angeles had no timeouts and a 10-second run-off would have ended the game had the refs flagged it for too many men on the field.

    Fukkers can't even get the cannons right...

    Chargers’ cannons inexplicably go off after they lose at home on a game-ending missed field goal

    Even the crowd was cheering like dumb asses. Haha

    Florida just let 35 seconds come off the clock with 1:20 left and Vandy kicking a FG. They have 3 time outs.
