[QUOTE="BalloonsTheElephant, post: 1661150, member: 748317"] Yes we went to a bowl game, but only because two teams literally handed us wins thanks to an interception late on a play that never should have been a pass and also a 4th and very long throw to Bhebe. Wisconsin thought so little of us, they threw on third and five instead of just running which at worst would be a punt and force us to go 50ish yards for a fg with 2:30, on the clock. We beat MSU starting down 21 in the fourth quarter and was saved by an 83yd touchdown, a pick six, a 4th and 17 luck bomb to Bhebe, a PI on 4th and goal, and giving a pick in the red zone. This is not something that is sustainable. You kick away from Hester if you are the Cardinals. You run the ball if you are up 25 late in the super bowl against Tom Brady. We look decent against Maryland, but we have zero physical attributes that cause a mismatch for us on offense. We are smaller, slower, and we have zero room for error. [/QUOTE]
