Credit Delaney with another brilliant coaching move in calling timeout between third and fourth down on EWU's last possession. Let's give the Eagles more time to score if they make the first down, which odds are better than 50-50 they will. And even if they don't, what are the odds are 'quick strike' defense will score with less than two minutes left in the half. The staff should have been more than satisfied to go to half with EWU only holding a three point lead. Just stellar coaching.
he actually called timeout between 3rd and 1st down...and it made sense because he planned on getting the ball back with a chance to score...he just screwed the pooch by getting to passive
I may have gotten the downs wrong but my intent was to opine that the odds of our offense scoring with little time left should not have resulted in giving EWU more time with the ball. They may have scored anyway, but, given our performance on offense, I felt we would be lucky going into half with only a three point deficit - and saving EWU time and a timeout was not a smart call.
