Stanford did not manage the clock well at the end of either half. Both halves they hit a pass for a first down in Oregon territory (about the 35 or 40) with about 35 seconds left. No time outs left in first half, one in second. Costello HAS to spike the ball there. Should be automatic. He didn’t either time. Cost them about 8 seconds. It hurt them in the first half as he ended up getting sacked and out of field-goal range. And it cost them perhaps having the opportunity to take a shot at the end zone in regulation.
I suspect that was discussed when they went over the game film after the game.
