Ticked off: Brown faults clock rule in loss to OSU
By Joe Schad
ESPN.com
Add Texas coach Mack Brown to the list of critics of the NCAA's new football clock rules.
Brown said Monday during the weekly Big 12 teleconference that the new rules, which were designed to limit the time of games, hurt the No. 8 Longhorns in Saturday's loss to No. 1 Ohio State.
"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown said. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."
Under the rule changes, the clock starts on a kickoff when the ball is kicked, not when the receiving team touches it; and on a first down, when the ball is marked ready for play, not when it is snapped.
Brown said while games are being shortened, the fans are being shortchanged.
"One of the great things about college football is a team's ability to come back," Brown said. "Now that's limited. Our game was 22 minutes shorter. That's a little under 10 percent of our game. That's not fair to our fans. We worry about them sitting there?"
Brown said, at worst, the old rules should be in place for the last two or five minutes of each game. Of the new rules, Brown said: "I hate it." |
I agree, it seems taken out of context. Just in case it wasn't, however, the new clock rules had to be played by both teams and it didn't hurt us at the end of the first half when Teddy Ginn punked the best cover corner (Ross) they had.

I've always respected Mack and thought he was one of the classier coaches in all of football, but this is a little ridiculous. Mack knows he had 60 minutes to score more than 7 points, right?

it doesn't seem real how far tOSU's football program has come in four years. i despised Cooper. i doubt we would even have a football program if he stayed a few more years.

I almost forgot...major props to the chaps girls  They were down in front of us and were quite the distraction in between plays, during time outs, during tv breaks, between quarters, on changes of posession, and basically anytime I felt anything wasnt quite right with the world. I think we should get them at some Buckeye games...to the victor go the spoils. |

Mac Brown is retarded. everyone who watched the game knows that if the new rules were in place, Ohio State would still have won the game. in fact, the game might have been even more lopsided. He said that Texas comes from behind to win games...lets get one thing straight, Texas does not come from behind to win games, vince young comes from behind to win games. |

Brown didn't say Texas comes from behind to win games, he only said that comebacks are one of the great things about college football. "One of the great things about college football is a team's ability to come back." |

Good 'Ol Mack
Having tried to sift through the last 25 pages or so of the "I told ya so" from the Buckeye supporters (only saw one Texican - EH say congrats), I will add mine, as the thread seems to have taken a turn my way.......
Game Day coaching - please someone tell me why Texas went away from the run when they were gashing our D on the option? Did we adapt so well, or did they change direction of their attack? Bad decision.......
Going one-on-one with Gonzo didn't work, so let's double team him and then go one-on-one with with the Buckeye Superstar, and maybe they won't notice.......Bad decision.......
My 'I told ya so" - along with the predicition that it would be decided along the lines, was that Tress was a better game day coach than Mack.........well folks, we've just seen proof positive of that. We adapted and when Texas tried, they got scorched.......Our chessmaster is at least two moves ahead of the competition.........
