This is probably near the end of the long list of problems from today, but I can't for the life of me understand what Narduzzi is doing with his timeouts.
He had three timeouts down 7. BC gets the ball. BC gets a first down, and he calls the timeout on that down.
That's the wrong move. By the time the chains are set the ball is set, the play clock is down to 30-32 seconds before the game clock starts. Narduzzi has three timeouts to use when BC will have four chances to run clock (since this is right after the play that gained the first down). You don't call a timeout there because it saves you 8-10 seconds in the long run.
Again, it's a very small thing, but I don't get why coaches always get this wrong.
