Calling last timeout with 0:17 left in the game…

Yeah, that was bizarre

Not bizarre OP nailed it

What's with the going or 2 down 15?

Good 1st season.

He won't last in The Red Stick.

Going for two where he did equally bizarre.

Big time! The guy has no class, he fits in perfectly with corn dog

I agree with his decision to go for 2…

Down 21… Go 8+8, then you only have a 5 point game…

Miss it, you still can go 8+7 and get OT…

The game wasn't over. Would have been the most miraculous comeback ever. But it was still theoretically possible.

Kelly is a dumb @$$.

5 or 6 pt game doesn't benefit you versus 7.

He was trying to figure out a way to send Daniels out there one more time to get hurt before the SEC title game.

Getting an unsportsmanlike against the Aggies for not controlling the crowd with the possibility of a forfeit was worth the timeout.

Gotta figure if you're BK: you're in the SECCG regardless. If you lose in regulation, you're done, but you can win against Georgia and still make the Sugar Bowl as champs. If you win in overtime, you're going to be exhausted and probably will have zero chance of beating Georgia, and you're out of the Sugar Bowl with three losses. If you win in regulation, you have a puncher's chance of beating Georgia and making the playoffs. The worst-case scenario is that you lose in OT and are exhausted by the experience --and we all do recall LSU's record in OT games played in College Station.

So max upside: go for two early, you can still tie if you miss the first one, and if you get it, you can win outright in regulation and probably destroy Jimbo. It was a gamble, but with a huge payoff.

But the last time-out was just pointless. We have seen games with premature field storming (tceh/tu with Harrell, anyone?) and no one has ever even heard the refs threatening to call a forfeit --that'd be on the loudspeakers within seconds. So don't think that was the point.

Yeah it was, over that is.

what a crappy way to play the game.

not saying you're wrong, it's just - as op points out - a dou**y way to play it.

Wrong. He went for 2 to make it a 13 point game, so then he would kick an onside kick…thus could easily give up a FG to us on a short field and it still be a 2-possession game. So because the 2-pt conversion failed, Lsu kicked it deep instead. That's my theory anyway. I guess the other theory would be LSU wanted to gamble on winning by 1-pt if they could score 2 more touchdowns.

Yea that was the more strange call IMO

Could have also been he was wanting to tell his players what to do after the game and make sure they don't interact with any of the fans

This is well known and not the least bit surprising that it would be on full display the very first time we played lsu with him as the HC.

After what happened at Michigan, this could be true.

I wonder if he called for time out with a southern accent?

No it's not. The SEC Conference Office has already transmitted the charging the field rules will change after this season. Just because you don't like it and other fans despise the targeting rules doesn't mean the SEC is wrong to address both fiercely. And therefore an opposing coach is free to run with taking a stand against it. I'm guessing your comments on LSU fans in BR doing exactly the same behavior would be blistering of course…prove me wrong.

Sure, it's a crappy way to play the game, but we live in a "winning is winning" popular culture... even if it's by any means necessary. I think a few of the Enron indictments went against Aggies. But there were also many Aggies who lost their retirement savings from it.

With the whole rushing the field thing, no major incidents have happened yet... but A&M successfully pulled off bonfire for many decades... until they didn't. Bonfire, like rushing the field was all about fun and school spirit building.

Unfortunately, we live in a litigious and risk averse country. It is what it is.

He is indeed a D -bag, and one with a faulty backflow preventer as well.

Responsible for the death of a student at ND because of his jackassery. Tacky human being overall.

The incident at Michigan was between players, not fans. Mouthy trashy Michigan players started it, specifically, and this has been an ongoing issue with the single tunnel and trashy Michigan players starting crap.

Which is why it's possible he called that timeout to tell his players about not interacting with fans that are about to surround you. No need in having charges brought against you after losing a game.

Possible, yes of course.

Probably not. Kelly is a D- bag and was trolling. It's his M.O. (see fake southern accent here). He's an ass.

He is a piece of corn dog faaaaaammmmmiiiily *****

Yeah? No. Rewatch that part of the game again. Kelly is clearly pissed at Ags and stands there staring at our students.

I'd be pissed too if fans were running through my bench with the game on the line.

I knew he'd take the last timeout. Any coach should. Game isn't over.

Do SEC rules state that the home team may be forced to forfeit a game if the students rush the field before the end of regulation?
Specifically...if the police or security personnel cannot get them cleared off the field?
What a way for the students to cost the team a hard fought victory.
Maybe the SEC needs to pass a rule saying any field storming will result in automatic forfeiture.
Maybe that would put a stop to it.

I have no faith the students would even be aware of that rule, and they'd probably do it anyway. I wouldn't be opposed for charging anyone they can identify with trespass and a ton of fines to help pay the fine A&M will now owe to the SEC.
