[QUOTE="OB positive, post: 1957400, member: 749644"] What a great win, but until Paddock came in and and saved the game like a super hero we were headed for another late game collapse and loss. Maybe this is the big reverse of fortune we needed to to get us over the hump in these types of games. For years the basketball program seemed to always have 6 to 10 games that came down to the wire that we normally lost. This even carried into the first couple of seasons with Brad. Then things changed, we started winning the majority of those games and the program took off. Winning those close games made the difference between winning 10 to 16 games a year to winning 20+. If the football program can do the same we could start reasonably getting 8+ wins a season. It's winning those types of games consistently that can determine whether we have a good season or a bad one. [/QUOTE]
