There were so many things wrong in Mississippi State’s 40-38 loss to Kentucky that picking out just the timeouts seems pretty silly. But I really don’t feel like digging into it right now.
Not the horrible run defense, the dreadful passing offense or anything else. I’ll just gripe about Coach Mullen not ‘freezing the kicker’ for now.
How do you not do this?
Up one, with two timeouts in his pocket and Kentucky’s field goal kicker set to attempt a 51 yarder, Mullen elected not to have the kicker think about it. Surely enough, he drills it through the uprights as time expires to win the game.
