You know our head coach is from Bama. Very tough loss we choked away. Would have liked to see us play Tide ball in OT rather than throwing, but team is much improved from last year. Fumbles kill.
I watched the game. Oregon lost the game due to a mental mistake. At the end of regulation they had a first down with about 1 minute 40 seconds on the clock. Stanford had no timeouts. They could have taken a knee and practically run out the clock. No need to run the ball. I blame the coach.
Something similar happened at the end of Old Dominion-Virginia Tech game. ODU could have taken a knee and run out the game. Instead, they chose to run it and got a two touchdown lead. However, it gave Vtech a slim chance to tie the game. Still ODU won in a major upset.
I have been watching football for a long, long time and played in high school. I have noticed that at both the college and professional levels more mental errors by the players and coaches than ever before. The Oregon debacle was just another example.
Meanwhile my gators are looking pretty good.....
