Time outs at the end of the game

It was the most despicable moment that he has had at Nebraska.  That was ridiculous, uncalled for.  If you seriously think that helped Patrick, you are an uninformed football fan.  It was gross, I would fire him for that alone.  I am more embarrassed as a Husker fan for the timeouts, then score of the game.  It showed Mike just doesn't get it, the idiot couldn't call a timeout in the right place in 20 years of coaching.  It was a shocking display of ineptitude by a man who is clearly outmatched game after game in the coaching ranks.  I have no sympathy left for anyone who would disgrace the program like those 3 timeouts did.

I thought he did it to let POB try to score since we were right down there and that was POB's first major game action.  I didn't think anything of it at the time.  Surprised some people are trying to make a big deal out of it, I mean: who cares?

As he should of when POb was doing the same thing against OSU when MR dilly dallied getting in the plays.

Looked and played as completely classless.  Imagine what we would think of an opponent who was getting obliterated and then had the bad taste to call all their timeouts in the last 45 seconds for no purpose other than to delay the game...  looked really, really bad.

 
Those timeouts proved that Mike Riley is not a nice man. A nice guy would not have let that dumpster fire of a game burn any longer than it needed to. Riley needs to be fired immediately. He should have been fired after the Northern Illinois game along with his boss.

Just a guess but because Mike is so horrible at clock management is so bad I am thinking he was practicing for his next job...

That's what I was going to say. He was practicing his clock management. I don't know why. The next two games will be over before the first quarter ends, and I cannot MR ever coaching again at any level above junior high.

I don’t disagree but, selfishly, I was hoping they’d call the time out to try and get POB a touchdown. He played pretty damn well and deserved at least an opportunity to finish off the drive.

Well, maybe that was ostensibly the reason, but I think it would have been better to just let the game go.  POB will have more chances.  No point in getting him injured.
