   Washington players bail out their bonehe

   Kalen DeBoer's decision to pass the ball on third down when a chip shot field   
   goal was going to give Washington a 9 point lead with a little over 2 minutes   
   allowed Texas to keep both their remaining timeouts. That proved to be crucial   
   when Washington recovered the onside kick with 1:15. At that point the game   
   would have and should have been over if Texas only had one timeout. Because   
   they had still had two, Washington couldn't take a knee and run out the clock.   
   The end result was Texas had four cracks at the game winning touchdown   
   from the Washington 12 yard line. Fortunately for DeBoer, his players stepped   
   up and bailed him out. Otherwise he would be getting crushed today and he   
   would deserve it.   
      
   How can coaches who make millions of dollars a year make such boneheaded   
   decisions when the right call is so obvious?
