That was some of the worst click management I've ever seen.

If you want bad click management, we click trained our dog but we did it with diced hot dogs and now we have to keep buying fucking hot dogs to reinforce good behaviors on walks.

Modern media is all about the clicks
September 1st, 2018 at 11:10 PM ^
False.
Wanna see worse click management?
Consider our fellow morons wasting time on this team and this website.
September 1st, 2018 at 11:11 PM ^
click, clock, tick, tock, it was miserable no matter what you call it.
you can't take that much time between plays, the drive before was also a complete lack of urgency. it cost us.

That looked like a JV team trying to run a 2 minute offense. Ridiculous. Whole offensive staff/philosophy needs revamped. Harbaugh stinks in big games.
September 1st, 2018 at 11:14 PM ^
The offense took too long to start clicking.
September 1st, 2018 at 11:19 PM ^
The pre-snap RPO handclapping shit has got to go. The wait between the center and the qb takes about an extra 4-5 seconds we didn’t have.
September 1st, 2018 at 11:22 PM ^
Yep, I got auto corrected. But I don't get paid millions of dollars per year to not fuck that type of stuff up

Undoubtedly yes, you clicked far too early before proofreading your thread. And with this new website preventing you from editing, you showed very poor click management.
Clock management did not lose us that game. We were in Notre Dame territory with 50 seconds left when that fumble occurred. Could it have been a little bit more efficient? Yes, but that was not even close to our biggest concern today.

Username most certainly doesn’t check out.
September 1st, 2018 at 11:33 PM ^
It was bad but we still had plenty of time to score. Time wasn’t the issue, OL was the issue
September 2nd, 2018 at 12:05 AM ^
At the end there, we also had a QB ball security issue. Can’t just have someone poke the ball out of your hand.
September 2nd, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
Actually, if you get the ball down 14 with about 6 minutes left. Drive down, get 7, get a 3 & out, and get the ball back with 1:50 (ish) left, that is pretty good. They had enough time to get down and tie it, just can’t handle a stunt. I think a more seasoned offense may have been able to save a couple seconds per play on the 2nd to last Drive, but all that changes is a fumble with 2 minutes left for ND to run out the clock. With a new QB and our oline, I feel that that drive had the appropriate pace.

It was a little sloppy (not shocking for a season opener with new QBs) but the announcers made too big a deal of it. We lost because of the turnover, not the clock.
September 2nd, 2018 at 12:27 AM ^
Yeah, the announcers were over selling it
September 2nd, 2018 at 2:12 AM ^
Sure, but if things had gone slightly differently the time could have been very important. Michigan was still only at like midfield with 40 seconds left when Shea fumbled. You don't think time would have been an issue if we kept driving? You wouldn't have wanted another minute on there to maybe have the option of running?
September 2nd, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
There were 57 seconds left when that play started and we were at around the 45 of ND. That should be sufficient time. If we'd had an extra minute, then we may have been in 2011 territory where you have to worry about scoring too fast.
September 2nd, 2018 at 12:37 AM ^
Manage the clicks!
September 2nd, 2018 at 10:23 AM ^
someone please explain to me why clock management matters when our head coach (off coor) doesn't have the reasoning to send 2 seasoned backs (Higdon/Evans) to the goal line 4 TIMES when inside the 5 yd line?
September 2nd, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
........and, at least not try a squib kick or short kick or any kind of kick on the last kickoff in an attempt to recover the ball....(new rule sucks)!
