Time management has been a recurring problem

Throughout Brian Kelly’s time as head coach.

Last night, after FSU closed to 38-25, ND took over on its own 25 yard line with 5:56 left in the game. An offside penalty on the Seminoles set us up 1st and 5 from the 30. There was 5:26 left at this point. A one yard gain by Kyren Williams left ND 2nd and 4. 25 seconds elapsed. On 2nd and 4, Coan threw incomplete to Mayer. 5 seconds elapsed on that play, setting up 3rd and 4. Coan was sacked for a 7 yard loss. We punted the ball back to FSU who took over on their own 29 with 4:16 left. They had all three of their time outs. ND burned 1:21 off the clock on the three and out. Coan didn’t even let the play clock run down to single digits.

It happens again and again with Kelly. I just don’t understand how that can still be a problem 12 years in.
