You can say that about any game played at any time in history. Against Notre Dame, did Notre Dame "give it to them" when they allowed a 4th and 17 conversion at the end of the game by allowing the reciever behind the coverage or did USC "do what it took to win"?
If a team drives the ball at will and then repeatedly turns it over in the red zone then maybe you would have a case for "giving it to them". That is not the case here.
"If a team drives the ball at will and then repeatedly turns it over in the red zone then maybe you would have a case for "giving it to them". That is not the case here." Sure it was. That happened several times in this game. And, yes, I think SC got really lucky in the ND game. It could have just as easily been ND's win.
