I wish we would have went deep.
How can some of you be so fvcking blind and use such selective memory? Yes, NIU started using their timeouts with two minutes on the clock. Why? Because on 1st down with 2:30 left, Marshall came out throwing it instead of just running out the clock. So, NIU doesn't use a timeout after the first time Marshall did it. Then, again on first down with 2:01 to go, Marshall came out throwing again. Only after doing it a second time in a row, both on first downs, did NIU start using timeouts.
You our wished Marshall had taken a shot deep? They did! Even the announcer commentated he didn't know why Marshall was doing that.
I understand the bias, but come on. At least be a little honest with yourself.
