Even running "hurry up" no huddle it takes 15-20 seconds to run a play, unpile the tacklers, let the officials spot the ball, and have the offense set long enough to snap the ball again. With 1:20 and 2 timeouts that means we could have ran 4 to 6 plays, but we would have to be in full "hurry up" mode which limits our ability to call plays or adjust personnel. If we had started "burning clock" then we would have only had time for 3 to 5 plays. With 2nd and 3 from the 4 it could have taken us up to 7 plays to score.
