With about 5 min left I went out on a limb and predicted we'd come back and win: We Did.
The fat lady stood up opened her mouth in the last 3 minutes and I told her, on this thread, "Sit down and shut up."
Since I made those unusual, but correct assessments, I reserve the right to make another that may be surprising, but I believe is valid.
The defense deserves credit for making TWO KEY STOPS IN CRUNCH TIME!!
1. With 40 seconds left, plenty of time to march down the field and kick a field goal, Ash's defense STOPPED ttu cold;
2. In overtime, after we go up 7, the defense STUFFED ttu 4 straight plays and we walk away victorious.
Lets be honest, how many of you thought that ttu would be stopped cold on both of those possessions. Not many, and who could blame you?
I admit, I was fearful of ttu getting something on the board in one or the other of those possessions. I mean, after the way their offense went through our D like sh-t through a goose for 59 minutes....
With a humble heart, I take my hat off to these defenders, they were a brick wall when they absolutely had to be for 40 seconds and again in OT.
Way to dig deep and hang tough D. We wouldn't have won without you!
