You just cost yourself either 40 seconds or an ASU timeout by inexplicably snapping that before the 2 minute timeout for a grand total of 3 yards.

Fixed->missed typo?

I saw that as a game fixing level bad call. Impossible to accidentally be that bad. Intentional mistake.

Snapped the ball 1 second before the 2 minutes warning and basically gave ASU more time if we have to punt. Should have let it go to the 2 minute warning and run our 2nd down after to keep the clock moving don't think we are going to go 90 yards in 2 minutes. If we punt they are going to have great field position.

 

[CYISFLY]

That was a sucky set of downs

 

[Walden4Prez]

Pathetic

 

[madguy30]

Seems like when Mouser has a week to script that first drive, it is near perfection. When he has to think in the fly he ***** the bed.

I don't know what the yard difference is or anything but he seems to get better in the 2nd half.

Inside the 5 is where it gets weird.

I would have taken it to the two minute warning there. The last thing we want to do is punt to them with time and two time outs. Now you have to make it on this third down

My only guess is we were trying to catch them slacking off expecting us not to snap it. Still a bad decision imo.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Pretty terrible offensive series at a crucial time.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Played out exactly how we all thought. ASU now with 2 minutes to go up 14.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Here comes an Arizona State score before the half

 

[xboxfever]

Horrible coaching.

 

[alarson]

cool cool. defense finally steps up and offense ***** the bed

 

[Rabbuk]

nice of us to let them score again before half.

 

[Die4Cy]

84% chance of that happening.

Ackshully 100%

 

[simply1]

Well ****

 

[Freebird]

firable series there. Inexcusable.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Giving them the ball back at midfield with nearly 2 minutes left. what the hell were they thinking?

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Absolutely abysmal playcalling

 

[DSMCy]

How can no one get open on those scrambles

 

[HoustonClone]

It was pass interference... but our defense has been more runny than my bowels after a bottle of jack and a night out at Taco Bell and white castle.

We've looked slow and soft defensively for 30 minutes. That's not on refs.

Sure, our D has been playing bad, but if you're not seeing the refs playing a role in this, you're not watching the same game I am.
