Has anyone asked Lincoln about clock management at the end of the game? Let's pretend Baylor scored on their last drive and won the game; think about how much Lincoln would be getting criticized right now. The narrative would change from I am so proud of how much they fought and the adjustments that were made and go back to "I think Lincoln is in over his head."
I was one of the few staying positive throughout most of that game, but I think this is a legitimate question to ask and something that should be addressed. When we were down to 3 minutes, no one was telling Jalen to run the clock and we weren't playing to burn any time. I understand we want to make sure we score, but whether we score, or fail to score, we still want the least amount of time on the clock for Baylor after. Either we win, or Baylor has no time and we go to OT. We hiked the ball 3 times with 10-15+ seconds on the play clock. If you just run the clock down on those plays alone, we could have taken close to a minute off of the clock when Baylor got it back.
