Last offensive drive

[msstate7]

1st and goal and we end up passing 3 times. We scored, but we were gashing them running. Why not keep running, make them use TOs or not leave any time left? Mullen just panicked again... just like the 2nd OT vs byu. I know we scored, but you have to play the scoreboard and the clock there

[bluelightstar]

Because he's lost it.

[ShotgunDawg]

Because he's lost it.

This.

He's lost it. Logic no not apply anymore

That is mullen ball. It's been the same since he's been here. Look at our 2nd overtime drive last week. He can't help it.

I've always thought he was a horrible clock manager. He runs when he should pass and pass when he should run (an oversimplification but somewhat true). He doesn't keep track of his timeouts. He always passes to the middle of the field (and often short of the chains) when needing to stop the clock and the players never get out of bounds when they need to. If we need to hurry, he slows down. If we need to slow down, he plays up tempo.

Yes, after 1st down alil over a min left, inside the 10, I was telling my wife, if UK is smart here, they'll call a TO, then I saw us get ready to snap, I said if we're smart here, we run the clock down. Snapped with about 15 secs left on play clock. Just pure stupidity imo at this level.

This showed up in his very first season. Remember the LSU game? He got cute and it cost us the game. If we had ran Dixon 4 times in a row we win. He can't help himself.

Absolutely, 100% correct. That's about the easiest way to put it. I have said since the day he started that what we are watching isn't football. It's all completely backwards.

Yep, he completely lost me that game, regardless of everything else.

In all honesty he'd have a really exceptional record and would've won some bigger games if he could just manage the clock.

You are correct, he simply can't get out of his own way.

That and coach up a good FG kicker. Our FG kicking always sucks.

lol. You can't be real.

[msstate7]

lol. You can't be real.

That was when timberbeast started calling for Mullen's head. Yeah, it's taken a while, but who's laughing now?**

[TimberBeast]

lol. You can't be real.

Been saying it ever since then. When he had success I said I couldn't explain it but I'll take the wins and the records, but it's coming back on us now. A couple of those years were fun but always hard to watch every single game. I've said on here before that I hate for my kids to watch us play because it's retarded football. Since day one.

Even with the bad play calling there, they still only had a 1:09 on the clock left. And it's not like Stoops looked like the second coming of Bill Walsh on their final drive either. But the problem was we went full on prevent and allowed them to get in field goal range. We out dumbed them.

Ha! Seems like a lot of coaches are the 2nd coming of Bill Walsh and QBs are the second coming of Joe Cool against us. Auburn 2013.

Exactly and tonight if by slim chance they do stop us running the ball all we had to do was call a TO since we had THREE at our disposal to draw something up. Dan also lost the LSU game last year by not calling a TO and costing us a delay of game penalty which put us just out of Bell's range. 1A/1B ad nauseum cost us Alabama and Ole Miss in 2014. I could go on.

Dan owes Dak millions.

Dan owes Dak millions.

Ridiculous... dak could barely complete passes when he got here. Dan deserves a ripping, but not over dak. Dak would tell you you're wrong on this
