Hawaii vs. Nevada 2007 Chalk Talk

Dan Kelly kicked a 45-yard field goal with 11.7 seconds left to keep No. 13 Hawaii undefeated with a 28-26 victory over Nevada. Kelly actually made the field goal twice, but Nevada coach Chris Ault had called a time out just before the first one wobbled over the crossbar. His second one sailed down the middle far above the goal posts to extend the NCAA's longest winning streak to 11. Friday, November 16, 2007.

The coach's job is put his team in a position to win. His decision to run the clock down and "ice" the kicker took the decision out of his team's hands, and left it all up to Dan Kelly. That's chicken**** coaching if you ask me.

Because he's paid [pennies?] to make an ass of himself by being a pretentious expert on national television, that's why. A Real Man of Genius. I will say that he got the grade for Ault correct.

Even Hall of Fame coaches should learn to expect their comeuppance once in a while, if not every now and then.

he got the grade correct... i was watching this game and laughing... because they were letting hawaii decide the fate in the game. I don't understand the reason why he waited so long to call the first time out. That was a huge mistake on the coaches part. F would be my grade also.

[hachibeach151]

I tend to disagree. I saw some users on the Reno Gazette-Journal Forums say that Kaepernick shouldn't take the blame, but that Ault should be the one. They would give him the same grade.

hb151. "And he can't say he didn't see that coming."
