I’d honestly rather go 3 and out running the ball and forcing them to use all of their timeouts here than any kind of passes that fall incomplete and give them a break.

I guess we'll see. It's gut-check time.

MdConald is sacked on 1st down for a loss of 5. All things considered, I'll take another 40 seconds off the clock.

Why doesn’t our coach call a timeout to give them more time to consider a review?

Minnesota takes their first timeout with 2:46 left in the 4th quarter. BG will have a 3rd and 14 after the commercial break.

This is either going to end in spectacular fashion or heartbreak.

Because you want to have those timeouts at the end of the game for this exact situation, when it's close.

If anything, throw a challenge flag there.

Patterson runs for 8 on 3rd down.

4th and 6 from about the 30 yard line, 2:41 left. I assume we'll punt it away and pray.

I honestly think this is what I would've done there. If it's an incomplete pass, it gifts Minnesota a timeout.

On 3rd and 14, you probably aren't getting it. Especially considering our ability to throw it downfield all day.

Force Minnesota down to 1 timeout and rely on your defense... I think I can live with that.

Just praying we can be disciplined and not give them anything easy here.

Illegal formation on the punt. Gah.

Original punt went out at about the 27.

After the rekick, Minnesota will start at the 34.

Muffed punt and we had about 3 chances to fall on it. Man.
