Our inability to get a FG before half is sticking out as the worst thing about last night. Yeah, we were putrid on offense and defense. It goes without saying that our coaches did a poor job on both sides of the ball, and the players didn't show up.

All that being said, it is inexcusable to not call a timeout before the end of the half. You can't put that on Harris in his first start; that falls squarely on Les. That play will be lost in the shuffle because of all the glaring schematic, player and coaching issues, but it's completely unacceptable. He's been here 10 years and makes 4.3 million, yet he STILL can't manage the clock in situations where the decision that needs to be made is crystal clear

There is no other logical alternative to taking the timeout there, with Harris or anyone else at QB. Best case scenario is you get everyone lined up properly by the time the clock starts and clock it with the time at :08 (everything would have to go incredibly well for this to happen). Then, you should be throwing to the end zone anyway before kicking the FG. The odds of needing that TO are very low taking that course.
