I had the same thought. Just let the clock run down. WTHFurther confirmation. 40 seconds left in the half, run up the gut, waste 15 seconds, throw 12 yards. (Save all 3 timeouts) Are we watching Lovie/Rod reincarnate?

With Ball StateWhere is the physicality, the toughness?
Lovie Smith needs a job.If JW can help steer him toward a good DC...LL would be very promising
And let's be clear, it would be that absolute height of idiocy to let one game (let alone one half) dictate the view of Leipold as a candidate. Overreacting to small sample size is a one-way ticket to failure.Well, Leipold's entire operation is built around staff cohesion and this DC getting shredded by Ball State is absolutely coming, so.....
Now imagine these posts in Year 2 when it's Illinois vs Iowa instead of Buffalo vs Ball State
Leipold stuck with both D3 coordinators after going 2-10 and being the second worst team in FBS. That's how he got here. That isn't viable in the Big Ten, we all know that.
Sure you've thought this through, Josh?
History says our staffs don’t get a whole lot better during the tenure of a head coach. I can’t see LL having the contacts to turn that around.And let's be clear, it would be that absolute height of idiocy to let one game (let alone one half) dictate the view of Leipold as a candidate. Overreacting to small sample size is a one-way ticket to failure.
But the fundamental questions, for me, of this process, are what is the overall plan, and how robust is that plan to inevitable headwinds it's going to face.
And I said pages ago, it is probably not viable to think you're going to import this whole staff and hold them together for four years to build up pedestrian recruits. That's an extremely weak, swiss cheese plan. Reality is going to run that over like a freight train.
Like say, the BB train?....Reality is going to run that over like a freight train.
Absolutely not! That is not the M.O. of this board!Everybody relax lol.
