Very odd NC didn't use time outs when ND was inside the ten.
It was wonderful to see, ND took their hearts.

I was shocked !
Some of the most stupid coaching I have ever seen ! But, we dominated on defense and I guess they threw in the towel !
Nothing they could have done
We were up two scores one way or the other, and there simply wasn't enough time to make it happen.
If he were going to call the timeout, it should have been on the drive when we were just one score up.
He knew that his defense was absolutely gassed, and our offense was really picking up a lot of steam. That last drive gave me a taste of the 1992 team, when we would simply blast giant holes in opposing defensive front sevens, and Jerome Bettis would have a field day grabbing 7-8 yards at a time at the end.
Maybe not, but you still call the TOs and try
You call the time outs and try to keep ND to a FG if you can. Give yourself time to try for a quick TD and then and onsides kick. Then a FG to tie or a TD to win.
Sure, it's a long shot, especially as well as ND's defense was playing. But, you don't throw in the towel while there is still a bit of a chance.
Mack knew it was over. Duck move to call timeouts

Down 14 with under a minute.
It was over.
They were down 7 when they should have been calling them.
They needed a stop, but regardless, they needed as much time as possible to mount any miracle finish
