If this team can get its act together and have the D and O play 60 minutes of their highest end football, and the ST can become Division II worthy, we could very conceivably win 3-4 more games.
Some big ifs, but they are possible.

I'm too lazy to find the clip, but Dylan Raiola's sleight of hand in the handoff to Bonner for the TD was a thing of beauty.
Maybe it's an under-appreciated skill, but Dylan is already a pro at the play-action fake.

I'm not complaining, but what part of him is clearly down here? I don't think his right hip or thigh has touched yet in this frame, although it's very plausible that his right calf is. I don't believe the towel counts. It was a touch call, his lower body hit as his upper body was twisting forward. I think it was the right call based on his lower body landing first, but I also think it was closer than this screenshot makes it appear. I'm still not sure he's down here:
This is the first frame (using not incredibly high quality footage) where it looks like his leg compresses against the turf, and it's real close:
Again the right calf is possibly down earlier, and I think the process the line judge used is what you have to do. But we'd be pretty pissed off and pulling out screenshots like this one if it was our RB.

Are we making complaints for Rutgers? WHAT????
We have been screwed enough the football gods owe us a few!!
I am still ticked about the 1982 Penn State game! I thought about it the other day when I saw Todd Blackledge!

No, just pointing out that I don't think any screenshots prove he was short. I'll take it all day, it was a reasonable call and definitely not overturnable in a review. The holding call giving them first and goal from that spot was BS anyway, the receiver initiated contact and fell down and they called it because Buford happened to grab him as he fell.

Thanks for clarifying.
Also, why can I remember stuff from like the 1977 Alabama game and not why I walked in a room 5 minutes ago??

Maybe I'm a little thick, but what is post-game win expectancy?
When the game is over, doesn't that end all speculation?
Based on the stats of the game, how likely was it that you would have won with those stats.
Obviously there is randomness to football (or any sport for that matter). Like Rhule said today, you probably shouldn't win a game getting two punts blocked. If a team starts a drive at first and goal at the two, they should be expected to score.
But things happen that are unexpected. So it's rolling all that together to how likely each win was.
