Hope only having one time out left doesn’t hurt down the stretch.
Go win us this game Luke

Ok Luke you’re the man here
The supposed strength of our team has the opportunity to march down the field, run the clock out, and score a TD to win it (please do so because our defense can't hold them anymore). Balls in your court offense!

I'll begrudgingly give Minn credit for that one. It was well designed
Plenty of time but with one TO this is it.

When’s the last time we returned a kick for a TD? I know it isn’t Benn in 2007, but … sure feels like it.
Problem is you kinda have to play 4 downs no matter what here…. Wasting those two TOs is just terrible game management.
Glad they at least used it with a positive outcome but still. Absolutely massive drive for Altmyers legacy here.

We might be better here with 1:00 on the clock. Not great when trying to grind out a long drive.
The lack of time outs makes every series a 4 down series….
BLJ needs to call 3rd down plays as such….

So in the pregame I said we'd win 24-23. I'll take 24-22
We need to run out the clock while scoring the winning TD.God I hate how we use our timeouts.
We don't have enough players left to stop them on D
Defense with terrible response after our TD.
That TO might have saved them that 2 point conversation. We didn't have the right personnel out there.
Same crew from the MSU game in 22 so...
Vangelo Bentley circa 2014ish? Might have been a punt.
