The rule is there to prevent teams from gaming the system. The opposing team gets to decide whether to accept the runoff for the lost helmet. When under a minute left, the clock starts on the snap when the runoff is declined.
There is indeed a way. It appears the defense can decline the runoff and the clock would start on the snap. Assuming that's the case the TO was fine and the ref/announcers made it confusing.
Great game for the LOS guys. Dallas is the real deal. My hot takeaway is we're probably better off letting DJ get fully healthy. He's looking more comfortable, but that right foot is a liability for the O as his accuracy and mobility are affected. DJ is not a threat of qb run/scrambles until that foot heals.
Because Texas had no timeouts. Since his helmet came off he had to leave the field unless they can call a timeout, and since they didn’t have a timeout, he had to leave the field and the ten second run off.
LOL...So you are telling me Napier is just as good as SOS... you my friend are smokig the sweet stinky
Exactly. I cannot recall ever having ambivalent feelings about winning. This team has OUTSTANDING talent and could be a joy to watch.
You can keep saying #9, but anyone who watched the game knows that is not a top 25 team, let alone top 10. So, just enjoy the win and stop getting in your feelings about others opinions.
Since the UF player’s helmet came off, then Texas decides whether to accept the runoff. Thinking about it now, the clock should have started on the ready to play since it wasn’t under a minute yet. Billy could have ran another 24 seconds off the clock, called the TO, and got Barber back in for the 3rd down play.
And? He’s going to coach all THAT talent to a losing record too. AND those guys will transfer out anyway as we continue to lose.Based on your logic, he should be given a lifetime contract. This could go on forever. Gotta rip off the band aid.
Maybe just the $20 million, It's possible a new coach wins over the recruiting class AND the current squad and we become a better team. You never know, but you can't just assume the worst.
Who cares...Billy is an AWFUL football coach...this program will not get turned around until he is relieved of his duties...plain and simple...
