Talent won out there...offensive facemask was brutal. Tie game, with the ball, 3 timeouts left...and you go backwards half the distance??? Inexcusable mistake....that’s the hallmark of the Wilcox era...too many costly mistakes.

and they just tried to run out the clock until Jimmy Lake tried so hard to preserve time on game clock for us and we decide to execute quick offense and run out of time.
I thought running out the clock was the right move after the facemask penalty. At that point it is unlikely to get the first down, and you don't want to give UW the ball back around midfield with time on the clock.
Yeah, I would have liked to have seen a pass play on first down. Our FG unit isn’t a strength both in terms of our ability to execute a kick and our FG kickers range and accuracy. Therefore we really need to get as short a FG as possible.
Garbers threw an 8 yard pass to Hunter on 1st down - they then wasted nearly 20 seconds on 2nd & 2 from the 28 WITH 3 timeouts left!! And then came the brutal face mask…UNACCEPTABLE.

They weren't hurrying up before the penalty though. It was a run play down the middle that the penalty happened.

Hm... I didn't have a problem with the play calling on that drive.

Garbers needs to call a TO there.
If I remember correctly, wasn't the clock runoff due to the penalty? Idk
No, there was no runoff. There was also no urgency…it’s as if the 2 minute drill was foreign to them.
