Atrocious Clock Management…Again!

Rewatched the end of H1 drive.

I know where I made my mistake counting TOs. The TO MSU took at 19 seconds I mistook as an NU TO.

Third and 1 … 19 seconds
Genatone gets a carry to get 1st down … clock stops at 15 seconds to move the chains.
Clock restarts with everyone set … Colandrea doesn’t snap the ball until 10 second mark.
Genatone scores with 2 seconds left. If he’s defended closer I’m convinced time runs out on a tackle in bounds.

I don’t want to reignite the debate but that is my take-away from rewatching the end of H1.
I don't think you are necessarily wrong, I kept yelling at the TV for him to fall down so we could get the TO and FG attempt. At some point I felt pretty comfortable he was going to get in. WE can if and buts all night long, he got in and we should be happy, but I would agree we don't want to cut it this close on a regular basis. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of urgency in the last bit which also concerned me but hopefully they will learn from this.

I will say there seemed a lack of urgency, for sure. If MSU hadnt called the T O, we probably would have run out of time, if Genatone doesnt score. With one unused timeout.
 
If NU manages to win this weekend, it will be the first time since 2010 that they have started the season 5-0.

2016. Elite Coach Mike Riley took the Huskers to a 7-0 start and was ranked as high as 7th. So, ten years

I thought we had one play then the TO and field goal had msu not used their time out.

MSU called T O. Then we ran for 1st down. Then the td pass. I contend, all things being equal, with no MSU T O, the clock runs out before Genotone scores. Unless we use our T O after the run for 1st down....

You could just admit you don't know what would have happened. Of course, you should also recognize that IF he were defended closer and tackled in bounds the play would have been over well before 2 seconds showed on the clock. Then MR calls timeout and there is plenty of time for a FG....or another play for a TD.
 
I’m glad they got the touchdown, but agree it was poor clock management. You have to leave time for a field goal at minimum. It all worked out though. Rhule has never been great at clock management.
That was a problem when he was with the Panthers, too. I feel like younger coaches do a better job of clock management because they grew up playing Madden and NCAA competitively. McVay, LaFleur, Brady, and Sirianni are the best in the NFL at clock management and all 46 or younger. You play 2.000 competitive games of Madden and you get pretty good at it. Then you watch coaches like Angry Reid botch it over and over. I don’t even want to know how many time Mahomes has saved him.

Agree with your take. It ended up fine, but that was not ideal. Things like that will lose you a game against a better opponent. Hope they get it buttoned up.

Yes Fitz was so annoyed by our click mismanagement that he called the TO to end his own frustration.

I agree the last 50 seconds could have gone better, but what do you think Rhule should have done differently?
