On the last drive delay of game, I can't blame Nunes. These players have been playing the game for a while, so they a clock running in their heads. It's highly possible that Nunes never even looked at the play clock, because his head told him he had roughly ten or fifteen seconds. No need to look at the clock.

I don't worry too much about the fourth down defense. It's not really fair to say they "let" the Justin Blackmon run a slant. He was a freak of nature who could do just about whatever he wanted on the field. Against USC? I think they had it played right, Woods just made a great play. I detailed Thursday night's fourth down failure on another thread, but mainly I think that came down to poor tackling by the safeties. I think the defense was ready, they just didn't execute.
