First, why is Justin running out of bounds after a 35 yard run? Had he stayed in bounds, there is another 20-30 seconds run off the clock after it restarts for the first down.

Second, why do we pass on our last play instead of running whatever RUNNING play we wanted...option, kneel down anything.

I know Rice was in FG position pretty quickly in their last drive, but while I will not put this loss entirely on coaching, I do feel that coaching has not helped us win a game all season.

Please get us a quality coach for next year.

Don't have as much of a problem with him running out of bounds as the fact on our final "drive", we were consistently snapping the ball with 10-13 seconds left on the play clock. This has happened several times this year when we are trying to run out/down the clock. That falls completely on the coaches.

at the beginning of the game, about 15,000. By the fourth quarter, couldn't have been more than 5,000.

It was argued quite some time ago that you can't blame bonehead plays on the coaches, like Henderson running out of bounds to catch a kick off against UTEP, but, I stand firm, a "Heads Up" player is coached. The quarterback needs to be the most cognizent of the clock and before going in on the last drive, Bennett or Rusty needed to say, "let's work the clock". I would think that would have been a theme for oh so many weeks considering we keep losing in the last two minutes...

Was everyone heading over to Moody that early????
