Can someone explain to me, why, when we had the ball at the end with about 1:41 left, we didn't take the max time between snaps. We left about 15 seconds for each of our snaps. If we did, they wouldn't have had the time to score. Please explain.

It’s not gentlemanly to beat the other team using a “clock”.Can someone explain to me, why, when we had the ball at the end with about 1:41 left, we didn't take the max time between snaps.

Of course, the real question is why did Trace not stay in bounds on 3rd down? Gave MSU more options on the final drive because they had that wildcard final TO left. It was on the other side of the field from where we sit, so perhaps he really thought he could turn the corner to make the 1st down. I don't know.
Since it wasn't off of a timeout, I assume that Rahne made the call.Today's game was on the entire O, coaches included. It was still a poor decision by Trace to end up out of bounds. I had a bad feeling at the start of the second half. MSU came out ready. They were bouncing up and down on the sideline. Penn State looked flat.No, the real question is why didn’t Franklin have the balls to call a pass.
First down = game over = Rose Bowl remix
They didn't take a TO on the 3rd or 4th down. That's about 30 extra seconds we gave them.Seriously?
The game clock wasn’t running (MSU has used timeouts after both 1st and 2nd Downs)
Good grief
My bad on that. But they only took a TO on our 1st and 2nd down. We left about 15 seconds on both our 3rd and 4th downs--that's about 30 seconds we gave them. I think they scored with about 13 seconds left. So maybe I'm not a total idiot.Welcome to football. Can always use new fans. The clock was stopped prior to each of those plays. It made no difference when we snapped it as far as the game clock was concerned under those circumstances. That said, there were examples of what you point out both in the OSU game and earlier in this game. I imagine in those cases coaches would say we snap early if we have a good look and don't want to give the D a chance to adjust. Certainly doesn't look wise though.
He'll never be confused with a Mensa Society member. He was never going to get the 1st down, but allowed himself to run out of bounds, this saving MSU another TO.Of course, the real question is why did Trace not stay in bounds on 3rd down?

Actually, you are a total idiot.My bad on that. But they only took a TO on our 1st and 2nd down. We left about 15 seconds on both our 3rd and 4th downs--that's about 30 seconds we gave them. I think they scored with about 13 seconds left. So maybe I'm not a total idiot.
I'm sorry too. I think everone is just pissed.Sorry. I was wrong on that.
