Don't get me wrong: Saban is scant with his TO use, but I can't remember a time when he cost Bama in any significant way because of it. He let's his boys play. It's fine by me.
I think our defense could have used a time out when Clemson ran 99 plays.

On their drive that started with 6:33 left in the 4th, Clemson had plays of 9 yards, 5 yards, 17 yards, 26 yards, 15 yards, and finally the 1 yard touchdown run to go up 28-24. We ended the game with 2 time outs left.

I agree that Saban can and should use timeouts more strategically. Give your D a rest on long drives, make the refs review close calls, etc.
