Later in the drive, we were scrambling around, and everyone is going to post about that sequence. But earlier in the drive killed us. Here we go...

(2:56) 1-10 LSU25: Dropped pass
(2:50) 2-10 LSU25: 12 yard scramble, not OOB [clock stopped at 2:42 to move chains]
(2:25 -17secs later-) 1-10 LSU37: incomplete
(2:18) 2-10 LSU37: complete to Dural, turns inside instead of OOB [clock stopped at 2:11 to move chains]
(1:56 -15secs later-) 1-10 AU47: 2 yard completion to LF7 [tackled at 1:49]

TIMEOUT at 1:43 -6secs later-

(1:43) 2-8 AU45: Incomplete to LF7, he's injured
(1:38) 3-8 AU45: Etling scrambles for 1st down, gets OOB
(1:30) 1-10 AU27: Complete to Dural, sketchy whether he should've gotten OOB call [play ends at 1:23, ref runs in at 1:20 winding arm, 1:13 showing LF7 WALKING onto the field]
(1:03 -20secs later-) 2-1 AU18: incomplete, no interference ruled uncatchable (disagree)

So, BEFORE the final minute of the game we burned 58 seconds between plays with the clock running. You don't expect them to snap the ball the instant the clock starts after a first down, but jeez. we should have easily had :40 more in game clock to work with, even without changing timeout usage or anything else.
