Tell me about it! Its total horseshit. However, while I feel its total horseshit, I totally understand why these coaches are doing it especially this year........There's about 5-6 teams that could sneak into the National Championship Game and all you hear about is margin of victory & points. Sad but true. With only 2-3 games left, these teams need to keep winning and keep winning big.
Do u guys realize Stanford was gonna kick FG with 3 seconds left and Carrol called a Time out for some unkown reason and Harbough decided to go for the TD after the stupid Time out.
If carrol doesnt call timeout even with the fg its a 25 point USC win
If carrol doesnt call timeout even with the fg its a 25 point USC win
Here's a copy of my most recent post:
Just got back from the Stanford / USC game and as you probably know I missed the USC cover by 1/2 a point. It was a bizare ending to say the least. I thought the cover was in hand until the last drive. With 3 seconds left Stanford was going for a field goal which wouldn't have hurt the USC backers. Then Carrol calls a time out which I thought was odd. Stanford goes for a final TD shot and makes it. I was on the other endzone and it looked like it could have been incomplete which I thought was the case when the TD got waved off. All the USC backers cheered, and the points were taken off back to 17. The game was over and with no extra point kicked, I was confident that was a close cover for me. As we were leaving the stadium I heard the final score again and Stanford has 23...Not sure what happened, but when I saw Harbough's reaction on replay he sure looked like he had a sense of relief when it was all over.
I will say, Stanford played a pretty good game up until late in the 3rd & 4th quarter. I was suprised to see the success they had on the ground with the "hurt running back playing".. Guess I got my moneys worth..LOL
