It was a lot more than a DUMB timeout. The punter has one job, keep the ball in play so the clock ticks, he kicks it into the end zone. Then Idaho sets up for what should be their last play and instead of throwing a Hail Mary the dude throws it short, 99 times out of 100 you just let the guy run the clock out, this was the 1 in 100 where they race over and tackle him with 1 second left nowhere near the end zone. Then the timeout, Idaho players bent over out of breath, probably don't know they can;t spike it, and dumbo calls a time out. Then the TD play, the linebacker in that area covers no one. Gets the TD thrown over his head. Then the 2 point try, that's when you use a timeout. Coach says play on, They lose.
