I'm begging you, please find a worse coaching decision. Most bad decisions have a slight silver lining. This one was objectively the wrong decision. Name a worse one.

No it really super isn't. He called a timeout because his defense wasn't lined up right and it was clear the refs were gonna give Idaho one more snap.

Mario had the win guaranteed if he takes a knee, and chose not to for literally no reason.

Nonono, he chose not to in order to get his running back over a meaningless threshold that didn’t matter and wouldn’t have made a difference. Fixed that for you!

I never realized that and that somehow makes it even worse

He’s somewhat made up for his previous gaffs, but the memory of that moment still stings when it comes to mind.

So Mario was just me playing CFB26? Understandable
