Why isn't Kelly getting more criticism for end of game clock management?

Seems like the story of the game, more so than the defense. We had three timeouts and Arkansas had zero when Diggs was tackled on the 7 with 2:24 on the clock. We should have been kicking with time expiring and Arkansas should have never gotten the ball back. The situation was totally and entirely within our control.

Because we won the game and after kicking the field goal, Arkansas did not have a realistic chance at victory.

the fact that there was still time left on the clock at all after the field goal is pretty embarrassing for a D1 coach

Les Miles has lost control over the clock operator

We had multiple drunkards saying he played it perfectly on the score board last night.

I don't know why he felt the need to burn all the timeouts.

Should've run a running play or at least kneeled it to burn clock and then called a timeout with 3 seconds left.

Oh, it's also because people here are the only ones who like to be miserable. So misery seekers on the rant want to make it an issue but normal people can realize we won and it worked, and 999 times out of 1000 it would work out the same as it just did.

Not a REALISTIC chance. How often to 60+ yard hail marys work?

Perfect would’ve been to run the ball again on third down and then use the timeout if you don’t score. OR run the FG unit out there on third down, kick the FG and if you bobble the snap, you still had 1 timeout and another down to re-try. BK did it very poorly in my opinion.

Because we have stupid fans that can’t realize how much of a les miles move he pulled last night.

That’s usually what happened for Coach Miles too, yet people on this forum tore his head off for it.

Not good enough. Les Miles won clown games (e.g., 2010 Tenn) and was rightly criticized for it

And people are bitching about other aspects of the game, like the defense's inability to get off the field

They had a chance that was more than zero, which is absurd given the circumstance we were in after Diggs picked up our last first down

Because football IQ on this board has the attention span of a gerbil and unable to put things into the bigger picture.

For some bizarre reason BK is thought of as some amazing X and Os guru on here when his coaching is clearly showing the opposite dating back into last season. It will only be time before this board realize he's actually a Les Miles shadow without the charisma.

They work more often than if we had kick a fg with 0 seconds left.

We can be happy we won but still admit it was misplayed. We gave Arkansas a shot at a kick return and a hail mary against our defense that had been struggling. It was in our complete control to not allow them to have those chances but I guess we did let them have it for the fun of it?

Because there were several ways to handle that situation. Probably should have ran once more and then called the TO. Or could’ve kicked on 3rd in case of bad snap. Or could have tried to kneel and center the kick. Etc.
And I think BK was thinking arky might let us score to get the ball back so was calling TOs to get everyone on the same page.


It was kinda sloppy but not Les miles level clock mismanagement

didn’t they convert a third and long for about a 60 yd. td? and had another one called back?
