.... said that Penn didn't have any timeouts left.

So Priore had a choice of kicking the FG on third down, or doing a QB sneak (or a kneel-down) and rushing the FG unit onto the field with 25 seconds left.

He opted to kick on third down.

Obviously, it backfired. But there was at least some logic behind the decision.

It looks like Harvard had a timeout in hand. So even if Penn had run a play to center the ball for a FG, Harvard may have called timeout to preserve time on the clock for their turn with the ball.

I'll walk back much of my criticism from yesterday of Priore's clock management. Mea culpa!
