Purdy out of bounds play

[coyoteclone]

That play cost us a shot at winning in OT.....Tech had no time outs left before that play. He stays inbounds, we run another 30 seconds or so off the clock before we kick the fg that tied the game. There would have been about 30 seconds on the clock when Tech ran their first play.
Not saying we would have won in OT, but at least we would have had a shot at winning the game in OT.

Yeah the awareness in a few situations was...well, normal.

Punching it into the endzone nullifies any precariousness.

 

[FeedBreece]

I don’t disagree. Was bad clock management all around. Defense should’ve made a stop though. Which I guess they kinda did? Didn’t anticipate Tech making the greatest college kick of all time though.

 

[Goothrey]

Also missed an open Rus in the endzone the play before.

But it’s a tough call on running the clock down there. We had no guarantee we’d make the field goal. With a minute left and two TOs, we still had time to get the ball back if the kick was missed or blocked.

yes, the smart play here would have been to not rely on one of the most consistent kickers we've ever had, and instead a defense (who got torched all game) to make a big stop so we have a slight chance at getting it back and retrying that exact same field goal once we miss the initial one.......

Sadly, this is true.
The FG before half time was a killer too. Horrible, horrible defense on that drive.

I agree that Purdy staying in would've been the smart play, but he was trying to get the first down first and foremost, and as a result got pushed out of bounds. He didn't go out on purpose. If Purdy went down in bounds on purpose, and we lose in OT, there'd be posts ******** that Purdy should've tried to get the first down instead of going down

I can all but gurantee Tech would have not needed to punt in their last possession.

Truth. We lost by 3 points. You can pick over a dozen plays where better individual execution would have flipped that score. It's always the last "But what if!" play that gets attention.

The only thing we can't blame is the penalty reviews. They didn't **** those up at all which was pretty amazing. Given the usual WTF rulings on reviews we might have lost by two scores.

Just jumped on for the first time and the first things I see is “manning is a liability” and “purify should had stayed in bounds”.

This is the second consecutive road game where the defense was horrendous. They nearly gave up 500 yards to WV and they allowed 529 to Tech. You’re not going to win games within a defense like that.

The biggest question about this team is why the defense is struggling on the road?

The smart play would’ve been for our play calling to be focused on getting the TD to begin with. We seemed content to settle for a field goal.

Running the clock down when we had to still score to get the tie? We did that against Baylor and I hated it then. Of course that two pt conversion was lower % chance then the field goal, but I’ve been a Cyclone fan too long to consider any field goal automatic. I Can’t really blame Brock in this situation.

The defense is certainly starting to see the injuries pile up...you had several, including McDonald, Vance, Uwazurike, etc. spend at least part of the first half off the field. Given that Rose is playing hurt, you have nearly half the defense not playing at 100%. Yeah, I know, folks need to step in, but it showed with the lack of pressure on a freshman QB and failure to stop the run. Put two TD's up on Tech and that QB starts to press and make mistakes.

But we already know the answer to that question. Our corners aren’t very good. That’s why we’re discussing other things.

The 'depth' angle strikes out again.

The dropoff is significant.

Candidly we should have ran the ball on 2nd down. The incomplete pass on 2nd was just as big as 3rd down running out of bounds.

2nd and 8 at the TT16 yard line with 1:18 to go. If you call a run and don’t get it you can bleed it down to inside :45 seconds. They still had two timeouts so that at least 3-4 plays from inside the 10 to score a TD.
