Should this team milk the clock or not?

Early in the fourth quarter, the Cal offense milked the play clock each possession (using conventional wisdom). Not coincidently, we had several short series and lost offensive momentum.

I feel like we did the same thing last year after taking significant leads. Both Dykes and Goff commented about being one first down away and staying aggressive with a big lead. Taking minutes off the clock seems to be stifling that aggressiveness.

Maybe we should abandon traditional clock management until later in the fourth quarter?
