Sawvel - biggest loser

Sawful, translation from his presser. This thing could have got away from us, we could have lost by 25 or more so we really believe we won the game because we only lost by 10 and that’s why we managed the clock so well in the last 10
Minutes. We did a great job of clock management, I pretty much ran it out.

I watched every miserable minute of that game. There is no doubt in my mind that he regarded the game as OOC exhibition. He gave up on those kids and the fans. Calling his first t/o with 2:11 on the clock? No onside kick. No hurry-up offense. Didn't they even assess a delay of game penalty with like 7 minutes left?

He needs to apologize to every defensive player. He needs to apologize to the kids that could have transferred but didn't. He needs to apologize to the entire Pokes fanbase. I am a lot more embarrassed of the coaches than the kids.

Let's see how long it takes Wisconsin to make a change.

I was honestly surprised to see he was asked about it in the post-game press conference.

He basically started rambling about being in rhythm and not wanting to give up the rhythm even though the game situation clearly dictated that he do exactly that. His plan seemed to be:

1. Take however long is necessary to stay in rhythm and score a touchdown.
2. Get a 3 and out.
3. Score another touchdown quickly
4. Recover an onside kick.
5. Kick a FG to tie the game.

Sounds like a plan with a high chance of success coach!
 
Ok I get why you kickoff down 10 with 4 minutes left and 3 timeouts in your pocket. What I do not get not being more willing toc all some timeouts once Colorado had the ball. Those timeout are better to use before the 2 minutes marks as you can stop the clock in college with first downs , out of bounds or incompletions once you which the 2 minute mark.
Sawvel and the coaching staff do not seem to be very organized. Several times I noticed Wyoming players asking for the signal for the next play only to rushed at the line because the play callers were so slow in getting the play in.
