Hoke could have called a timeout. Depending on who you want to blame more, you can blame coach or QB more. The qb has to know better if the snap can be done in time. A lot of coaches are hesitant to call TO there b/c if you have a good play called and you call TO when the snap could have been done, you do more harm than good.
In that situation though, didn't seem like they cared much if the plays would work as much as they just wanted to run clock, so maybe Hoke should have used a TO there, but Gardner has to share a lot of blame.
