I watched the game this morning. The announcers thought Huff should have gone down after getting the first down instead of scoring. Their thinking was that we could have run out the clock. With the time left on the clock, I find that thinking crazy. Where do they get these announcers?
I don’t know, it does seem to make mathematical sense. By scoring the touchdown, we were up only by 12 points with 54 seconds on the clock. We all saw at the South Carolina game how they put two scores on the board within 49 seconds. It’s unlikely, yes, but western still had the opportunity to win the game at that point. Maybe they run the kickoff back, kick an onside kick, maybe toss a hail Mary to the end zone and we get pass interference, etc., a couple scenarios could’ve happened that might’ve sent us home with a loss.
Alternatively, if Huff had gone down at the 1 yard line, we would’ve just had to take two knees and the game is over.
