Like clock management? Boy you never even played football beyond junior high. The coaches called a play that Clemson wasn't expecting and had a wide open wr. You're probably one of the dumb counts that called out Miles for just running the ball against Bama. This time he calls a perfect play to move the chains and our qb fails to execute.

Haha, yea, Les Miles is definitely a pro at clock management, and we totally haven't lost games due to incredibly stupid end of game shenanigans.

He called a stupid play in the situation and it bit him in the arse. You act like this is a fringe position but it's mentioned in just about every article about the game and the announcers were completely flummoxed. You give just about any decent coach in the country that situation and they call two run plays.

What none of them would do is force his incredibly immobile quarterback to throw a pass on the run. What has Mettenberger EVER done to indicate that he makes that throw every time? Because I've seen him miss that throw a bunch. If you call a play that your players can't execute when it is absolutely imperative that they execute it properly then that is a stupid fricking decision.
