[QUOTE="WWWWRocU, post: 1815301, member: 748580"] Because I was out of town, I recorded the game and finally watched it when I got back and after reading plenty of these posts. I agree with others that the players did not play up to the level of that 6 game win streak. Non-execution. To wit: 1. Reiman did not catch that perfectly thrown touchdown pass on the razzle dazzle play. 2. DB freshman #14 Scott not realizing the end zone side line was his friend and not giving puke TE Durham a nudge to go out of bounds to negate that TD catch. 3. TDV sneaking for the first down and I'm seeing our Heisman candidate just standing there enjoying the scenery instead of helping to push TDV further to the goal line. I was yelling at the TV on this one! Just three examples. Otherwise: 1. We did get jobbed on Spoon's wonderful interception. Finally saw the replay from a different angle and they were just going at it mano-y-mano to position themselves to catch the ball. 2. They kept picking on the freshman #14 Scott. You can see that Scott will be good as he matures, but today a freshman ripe for the slaughter. 3. Puke Durham proved to be too tall and strong for our DBs. Pretty comical to watch Spoon trying to stop him from getting a first down there towards the end. Kept waiting for the help to show up for what seemed like hours. There are other examples, but this is enough for now. [/QUOTE]
