I was sitting in the stands watching that game in horror, along with everyone else. As it came to a close, I was watching the time on the clock, and looking at that bar on the scoreboard indicating we had one timeout remaining. I don't understand why we didn't use it. Wouldn't it have forced them to run just one play of some kind or even kick a FG? The odds of us doing something with just a few seconds left was slim - but wasn't that the case against Northwestern a few years ago, too?
Am I wrong? Did we not have a timeout left, or was I just not considering the clock mechanics properly?
