I am saying 45 games over Kirks 26 years. That failure to be able to drive the ball, eat up the clock, and win the game.

Or do drive the ball and score to again get a lead bigger than 8 pts late in a game.

Man, we have seen this movie clip over and over. Back around the 2007 season I counted these up and it was about 1 to 1.5 games a year which is why I am going with the number 45 over 26 years.

We had two of them this year, ISU and Mizzou. Cant count the UCLA game although the hawks did give up a tied ball game for the losing ucla FG.

I dont think the hawks have overcome late deficits as much as giving up late leads, just my impression

The Hawks are not built to drive the field late in a game to win/tie. It does happen infrequently, but not consistently. No playmakers at receiver, and definitely not at QB.

Does not appear to be a priority to Kirk.
