Stop snapping the ball with 4 seconds on the game clock in the 3rd quarter

[Firemans4Horn 17834]

2 fucking weeks in a row we snap the ball instead of taking the play into the 4th quarter. Idiotic.

I agree. Hi. 

[taybo20 2815]

Yeah…not good

[Chooky 13302]

It's beyond dumb.

[Kel Varnsen 8430]

With a QB that just came back in after being injured... FUCK SARK. I"M DONE.

[GreenspointTexas 9567]

Yup

[BigOrange1 6422]

so fucking stupid.

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

Perhaps y’all misunderstood what all Gas no brakes means

[naija 2854]

things like this are what I mean about the OC and HC thing not working well for him....

[Jakel 3]

Sark forgot to mention.. no steering either. 

[immamac 42519]

Did you watch the play? It was a TD pass that the wide fucking open receiver who got hit in the hands dropped. Shut the fuck up. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

having 1 extra play is horrible, absolutely criminal, unforgivable, and inexcusable!

Yep just rewatched it again 5 times. Hits josh Moore in the hands after he had beat his man with NO ONE in front of him. It was a perfect playcall. A near perfect throw and just a fucking drop from a wide receiver who will never do anything after college.

Maybe it should've worked but that doesn't make it the correct decision for the situation.  Especially when you just did it the week before with the same result.

it was the perfect decision, the receiver was open and dropped the fucking ball. What changes waiting till the fourth quarter? Is Moore going to be more open? No. Will it be a better pass? No. Oh yeah, what changes is they get a couple minutes to prepare.

 

What a stupid fucking thread, I apologize for bumping this piece of shit.

Again you are focusing on the outcome of the play which in my mind doesn't matter when strategically with the lead you should burn the clock and go to the 4th.

if the fucking play went for a touchdown like it should have would this thread exist or would everyone be focusing on the outcome of the play?

And there is no reason it couldn’t have been the first play of 4th qtr

I mean... there's probably some merit to the idea that the break allows the defense to get set up.

And if we run the same play with the same outcome on the other side of the quarter, we're talking about a :07 or so difference in clock run off? I guess that is worth starting a thread over

And our offense has no time to make sure the play goes well? Are you suggesting that we had the defense on its heels at that point

Four seconds beats the living shit out of 10 or 15, which was de rigeur in the Herman era.

[Surly Bevo 24696]

Offensive coaches want to run as many plays as possible.  That's the deal and has been for a while now.  TOP isn't the leading metric any longer, it's run a shitload more plays than the other team did.  It's why the game is played the way it is now, except for maybe the academies.  The only reason you wouldn't do it is if there was some sizable negative in the kicking game (ie wind) that you could either take advantage of or get out of being at the disadvantage.  Our newfangled stadium almost negates the wind at this point (yesterday a prime example where there was a solid north wind outside the stadium and not much of a breeze at all down on the field)

The play call was perfect...it was a TD if he just catches the ball. 

This thread is stupid.  

[hookem48 4631]

Okie state wasn't expecting Casey to come back in and throw that pass after knocking him out, it was a great call and worked to perfection, except for the dropping the ball part and causing this fucking abortion of a thread part.

[Sawbonz 27436]

Other than that Mrs Lincoln how did you like the play?

[hookem48 4631]

I take it all back, this is an awesome thread and we should have waited till the 4th quarter when the offense was really rolling.

Clock management is way, way down the list of things this staff hasn’t done very well.  Like number 60.  Overall it’s been pretty good.  Focusing on this one detail of a coaching aspect that has been not terrible seems…lame.

Unless Ok St lined up in a different coverage that would’ve limited that particular play call. Sark may have liked what he saw on their defense and tried to take advantage of it.

[hookem48 4631]

of course lost in all of this is the fact that we should have had a 15 yard roughing the passer call, something we so desperately needed

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I'm having to yell this out loud.

Its the 2nd week in a row they've made the same mistake.  And both times critical plays and they rushed in and failed to execute.

It could really bite us late in the game if you can't even get it at the end of the 3rd quarter.  Just flat out stupid.  Too often over the past 6-7 years we rush into a play in a critical situation and fail to execute.

And if we have the clock running, it eats up 45 seconds.

[bullet 1596]

Sark was talking about execution and the coaching staff can't even get basic execution right.

Sounds like me if you change 'college' to 'pee wee'.

[HtownHorn 14488]

I was yelling the same thing, but the much more egregious coaching came in the 4th quarter. On 1st down, Bijan gains 8 yards. Unfortunately, Majors comes up limping off the field. Two things are known at this point in the game. The defense is not stopping OSU, you need a FG to win the game and 4 minutes to get into that position.

Instead of taking a TO to calm things down and get the offense on the same page and figure what you want to do with the OL, you instead run 3 shitty plays in less that 20 seconds all getting stoned. 2 of which were completely blown up due to Kerstetter playing C.

Fuck, Karic wasn't even paying attention, and had to be yelled at by the rest of the team to get his fucking helmet and run into the game.

[hookem48 4631]

so what did you fuckers see in the 4th quarter that was worth waiting for?

+1 yard

[JBJ 3649]

I didn't hate this.   It's not like we were hurrying up to get a play off.  They did a sideline check, Sark liked the Moore matchup. And it was there, but the throw was a little spicy and Moore couldn't pull it in.
