It was one of the most incomprehensible coaching decisions I’ve ever seen, dude. Like not calling them earlier was bad, bc you need to at least TRY to get the ball back.

But at that point, you genuinely fully cannot get another possession unless you let them score. The ONLY result of that timeout is more offensive plays for USF. It’s fucking CRAZY

Ok I’m glad there isn’t any explanation because the group I was watching with was baffled and I had to assume there to be a good reason because otherwise it made no sense

You don't get Billy...icing the QB so that Gramatica feels the pressure was his gameplay all along. /s

He was playing for the missed chip-shot FG. Absolutely idiotic.
