Les called a timeout while we were lined up in punt formation with 13:50 left in the game, facing a 4th and 10 at midfield. Why in the hell is he taking a timeout here? Give up the damn 5 yards.

That would have left us with 2 timeouts, which would have assured at least 45 seconds on the clock, assuming Les would not have used both to ice the kicker.

Word was they were going to fake the punt there, but had the wrong formation called....had to burn a timeout because of that

Can't disagree with that at all. Zero reason to call a TO there unless they had a fake on and wanted to not do it

But that would have been a bad decision as well

" Basically what happened, and it was obvious in the stadium, is that Miles brought in different personnel on 4th down to fake a punt.

The Ole' Miss defenders started jumping up and down pointing at number 43, who was brought in to run the snap, signaling for the fake.

Once Miles realized he had been had and Ole' Miss was onto the fake, he had to call a timeout and bring out the actual punting team."

They were definitely going to fake IMO, but OM had a safe coverage call, so they called a timeout to get out of it.
