Actually, it's pretty clear Stoops didn't want to hand the ball back and get his thin defense back on the field (rightfully) in :45 by throwing 2-3 incompletions in a quick series. He'd rather control the clock and shorten the game, giving UK a chance in a few of the games where we've been completely outclassed.
But, you seem to grasp the game well.
