Eberflus said the plan was to snap the ball at 18 seconds. When it isn't snapped at 12 seconds, you call timeout. You go to plan B, which could either be a quick hitter to the sideline or a shot to the endzone. If both fail, you have a second chance for either a long field goal or another shot to the end zone. There is no way a coach should just stand and watch his team run out the clock.
