WINNER! Lynch had just had a terrible game, by his standards. His best play had been a sideline catch. the Pats had stuffed him all day, and there was no reason to think their goal-line defense wouldn't do it again. However, as pass plays go, the one Carroll chose was far too risky.
In this years Oklahoma vs Oklahoma St game, toward the end of the game with OU ahead, they punted the ball out of bounds on the OSU 15 with less than a minute to play. OSU ran into the kicker. Even though the penalty didn't result in a first down Stoops took the penalty and kicked again. The OSU kid ran it back for a touchdown and they won the game. This Seattle call ranks right up there with the Stoops play call.
