I told my wife Solich blew it when MN was at our 6 yard line by using a time out because we are going to need it. What do you know we return it to the 45 and an extra time out would have definitely changed the play calling if only he had listened. It turned out the time out was wasted with off side and a quick TD anyway. Seriously, The coach should have been thinking we will have .30 seconds if they score and everyone watching knew they would score.
Absolutely. In fact, when Minnesota got inside the 10 and had all its time outs, we needed to use ours to stop the clock when it was RUNNING, not when it was already stopped. We needed as much time as possible for when we got it back and controlled our fate.
Bad clock management today.
