Good point.  Urban never admitted any mistake on that FG.  It seems so obvious to use a timeout there when it was that chaotic.  I'll still take the good with the bad as I prefer Meyer's way overall, but Tressel probably would've closed that game out.

Minnesota against Michigan in 2015 is the first example I think of. They could've gotten 3 plays off in the time it took them to get their last play off from the 1-yard line with the game on the line.

was thinking of this one.  cost Limegrover his OC position

Timeouts were a much more valuable commodity for those 4-5 years where the clock ran a lot more (forget the exact rules).  Teams were only getting like 7-8 possessions per game (back when Urban was at Florida).

IIRC BB also called a timeout early in the 3rd quarter for the sole purpose of haranguing the line judges on his side of the field, a timeout that would have come in handy on their last possession.

Dana Holgorsen did that one time against Syracuse. Called a TO just for extra time to bitch.

He also burned through all three second half timeouts by the 6:00 mark of the third quarter in the 2013 against Oklahoma. I almost jumped through the TV on that one.
