Have to agree totally. Was the most frustrating part of the whole game for me. I can take losing to a team, but to give up at the end of the game like that with that much time left is absurd. Your defense is worn out, why try to extend the game?
What he's talking about is that with about 2 minutes left and our ball on the 20, Les tried to run out the clock, instead of going for the win. We did not attack the Tennessee defense at all in the second half. Somewhere, Jim Mora is sitting in front of a TV set and saying,"man, now that's a conservative offense!"
Miles choose to run out the clock instead of putting it up once or twice. I don't fault him for that. Too many bad things could happen on that side of the field with time on the clock.
We lost this game by not getting the field goal at the end of the half. To many mental mistakes in this game especially that one.
We lost this game because the coaching staff got out-coached... UT made the halftime adjustments, we went into prevent mode..
