Texas head coach Mack Brown is quoted in a recent ESPN.com article stating that he hates the new college football rules regarding the clock.
Brown said Monday during the weekly Big 12 teleconference that the new rules, which were designed to limit the time of games, hurt the No. 8 Longhorns in Saturday’s loss to No. 1 Ohio State.
“They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything,” Brown said. “I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over.”
So, you’re telling me that you waited until six minutes were left in the game to do anything on offense? It’s not like you didn’t have time to prepare for the new rules – your Long Horns seemed to have no problem putting up 56 points on North Texas two weeks ago under the same game clock.
Plus, your team took advantage of a technicality in a rule with that helmet-to-helmet hit on Colt McCoy to lead to your only points.
Sorry Mack, the game was over when you didn’t have a solid plan in place to limit Troy Smith throwing the ball all over your depleted secondary.
