Worst Coaching Mistakes in College Football

He's waiting for it to get down and then they're going to try for the field goal attempt here, so..

What did he do? He just took a knee! He took a knee and the clock is rolling

He completely brain farted on that one. The clock is at zero and La Crosse is going to escape Platteville with a 24-23 victory

Colin Schutz. You should not be handing this football off. I don't know what Miami is doing

That's it. Here's Chaney. Just straight ahead. Tackled and the ball popped out

He's got to read the clock. I mean, read the card. And Georgia Tech has it with 26 seconds left

Free to the field for King. Up in the pocket. Going to loop it down the field

And it is caught. And that's Rutherford. Here's King from the pocket

Flush to his right with six. Five. Going to loop it downfield

And ball is caught. Touchdown, Georgia Tech. With one second to go in the ballgame, Christian Leary

Here's Van looking. Flips it to the middle of the field. This is Restrepo

He'll dance. The clock has expired. And Xavier Restrepo's got to look for help

Now he's going to throw it back across the field. And here is Colby Young coming to the near side

Now Young going to give it back to Van . He's going to sling it back to Restrepo

Miami trying to string this play out. Schoolyard style. Now to Young, middle of the field

Kobe Young looking for some help. He's going to throw it back, and this is Jacoby George

Now he'll dance with it. George trying to make a move with it

Ball got knocked loose, and the game is over. The playground style at the end did not help Miami

Pizza party for a victory. Uh-oh, here comes a fake. T's still in front of him throwing it

Pulls it down. He's not going to get near the marker. Malik Simmons stopped him

You wonder what the punter was thinking. Second and 11 from the 13-yard line

Under 10 seconds to go. Ewers back in the end zone. Incomplete

Trying to get it to Mitchell. They move the tight end Sanders

Close to the line at the right end. He's had a huge night. He's a big target in the end zone

Ewers in trouble. And just did get it off. Mish Powell came on a blitz

The clock is at all zeros. Is that the last play? The players don't think so

Neither team has come out onto the field. Mish Powell came on a blitz and forced the throw

Please put one second on the game. Oh, my goodness. We're barring a penalty

This is it. Texas trailing all night long one last chance to advance to the national championship game

viewers loves it up and it is incomplete intended for Mitchell Elijah Jackson had the coverage Washington hangs on and wins the All Sugar Bowl in the college football playoff semifinal

...of Jake Camarda. And it's a fake! Justin Fields! Oh my gosh! It was fourth and 11

Alabama is going to take over at the 48-yard line. First ever back-to-back 10-win seasons

For Ruffin McNeil and this senior class and this football team, a tremendous showing here tonight

I mean, defensively, offensively turning it around. Justin Quintus has done a heck of a job

See if they'll have to snap it on fourth down. We'll take a pretty long play to do it

and they'll try to get that with Carden running around, trying to buy time

will of course stay in bounds. And the clock will continue to wind

And there's going to be about 15 seconds left. The difference between the play clock and the game clock

And fourth down's coming. And 16 seconds will remain

The fourth and 19, the yardage is negligible. East Carolina, you scramble around as long as you can

throw the ball up in the air as high as you can into the end zone and try and take as much time off the clock

And out of the back of the end zone, too. Carden, you're trying to get to him. Shane better be careful, make sure he doesn't bubble the ball

Now see, you've lost 10 yards, only 65 yards to the end zone. Justin Holman can reach that

I mean, I'm telling you. You've got to get outside, you're keeping the pocket. Holman firing to the outside, trying to get Reese

He caught it, got out of bounds. It's five seconds to go, and now you've got a legitimate shot at the end zone

And that's perfect. That's exactly what you want. Take that little route because it's a defense

You want to make sure you stay deep and don't give up home run. And you got out of bounds

With no timeouts in your pocket. Now defensive ends, like you just talked about

They've got to rush up the field. You can't let them scramble on outside the pocket. So they're pressing the receivers up here

Holman has time to unload it. He fires it high. He fires it deep

Perriman's out there. And he caught it for the touchdown. He caught it for the touchdown

UCF wins it. Rashad Perriman, 51 yards

Wow. And it's money. We're down to 30 seconds by the time the Gophers take this snap

Leiter, pump fakes, wants it all, goes to the corner, got it

After review, the receiver caught the pass, but was down short of the goal line

It will be Minnesota's ball, first and goal, at the one-half yard line

16 15 now they shift Leiter going to go into the gun with 10 9 8 got a hustle

Leidner rolls to throw, he's in trouble. Lobs it incomplete and there's only two seconds left in the game

Boy, I don't know if Leidner knew that they were winding the clock

Leidner under center. Full house behind him. He'll try to do it himself

Did he get there? No signal, no touchdown. Michigan has won it

Clemson, everybody at the line of scrimmage, and they're going to throw instead. And they get it to Cadran Boom

Ball back even if they do that. You've got two shots at a first down, and Mettenberger wants to throw again on the run too high

Well, in that one, I think you've got to run it. If you're going to throw it on first. You may have outsmarted yourself

Yeah, I think you've got Landry wide open on the last one

And he wants to throw again. Has it batted down? Holy cow, Malachi Goodman, who has three and a half sacks in a brilliant game

gets a block. And as it turns out, Clemson does not have to use a single timeout net possession

as LSU threw it three times in a row. And Zorro for the win

Got it! Hoyer completes it for the first down

Going to reliable Blair White for a huge game. Here comes the blitz

It's picked up. Pass complete. Short of the first down to B.J. Cunningham

Alan Lankford made the stop. They've got to run the May Day field goal out here

All right, so fourth and six for the win. Brett Swenson from 44 yards out

And Wisconsin stops the clock. Wisconsin. Well, I don't know. Why would they do that

I don't know. I'm saying. unless you didn't have your field goal block team out there the way you wanted it

They were running around, but they had time to get lined up. You know, it's not an icing situation

I think you'd rather have them try to make a May Day field goal where they're racing against the clock

than go ahead and call a timeout and think you're icing them. I think that's a bad decision by Coach Vilema

And with the wind at his back, Swenson splits the uprights. Michigan State leads for the first time today

Smith going to hand to Rouse. He didn't get in. Second effort

They got to do something. 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6

BC got to get up on the line They can spike it They can spike it Time is out They going to have to run the play Smith got it snapped Can spike it Ball game over Wake wins

The ball was on the ground when the clock expired. Therefore, the game is..

Second down goal from the two-yard line. 32 ticks left. He's going to tuck and run

Jefferson finds his seam. No! Inside the two. Inside the two. LSU's got to hurry this thing up

No timeout. and now you don't have your throwing quarterback on the field

They got two plays. Jefferson. There's a mix-up. It is running down

You got to spike it. You got to do something. Spike it

You got to spike it to get one more play. Down to four. Down to three

Oh! Jefferson wasn't ready for it. Ball game. It is over. It is over at Baton Rouge

I'm the workhorse. Put it on my shoulders and run like that is going to give him even more of the workload

Oh, an onside kick. Northwestern is on it. It's usually how that works is if you get the look, you're going to dial it up

If not, then you go ahead and kick it away. A tremendous awareness

And when you're doing that to a running back, I don't know if I love that call

It was a total domination from start to finish. Miami had only six first downs in that game

They are going to go to a little trickery of their own. Shipley handed it off

Now the ball comes out. And the ball is recovered by South Carolina

Mafa took the handoff. And then it came flying out of his hands

and the Gamecocks have it. It's Trayvon Kenyon. That are ticking off and not calling a timeout

Diego Guadal, look at this. They're going to run a different play. Bradley, the holder, is going to take the snap

And he's tackled behind the line. It's Tanner McGee. I like this

Don't go away from it if you're Jeff Levy. And they don't. Gray's going to pop pass it, and it's intercepted

Barron's got it. They tried to change it up. Aaron Gray took a step to the line, went with the pop pass

and Jaday Barron picks it off. Would not anticipate a fake punt on fourth and 19

but I would be wrong, and there is some room. Dyson punted it late, but from well across the line of scrimmage

If you're confused watching, so are we. That's definitely a legal kicking

It looks like he almost could have picked it up. He had a chance. He had a chance

Legal kick. Kicking teams. Five-yard penalty from the previous spot. First down, Central Florida
