3rd and 5 with 1:02 to go. Texas had no timeouts left. Ball on the Texas 39.
Kneel and you kill 40 seconds, then punt on 4th and kill another 5. In all likelihood, Texas gets the ball at their own 20 with 17 seconds left.
Instead, they run the ball. A guy gets hurt and the clock stops. They rough the returner, and nearly complete the most remarkable choke of all time.
I am completely in favor of running a real play while the opponent still has timeouts, but Texas didn’t.
I was beside myself watching them almost throw it away.
