Stoops said time wasn’t the issue on final drive against Auburn

During his Monday press conference, Mark Stoops was asked once again about Shannon Dawson’s unpopular play call and Dawson’s postgame comment about having the courage to call a play fans may not agree with.

Stoops said he would’ve called a pass, knowing what he knows now. But time wasn’t the problem:

I think, you know, there was one other call in the game in a similar situation that we didn’t run the ball. I think, like I said after the game, it’s always easy to second guess. People that say, ‘Would you do anything different?’ I mean most people would be lying if it didn’t work, right?
