Without Davisons miracle catch back in the day, we don't win a title. Don't remember anyone complaining about how that ended up. Seriously, football is a game of plays, some big, some not so big. I couldn't care less what made it a close game. Without a phenomenal catch by one of their receivers you could take away one of their scores too. So lets subtract any and all great plays, only count the average run of the mill plays, subtract corresponding scores resulting from those plays, and that's the real score. Um yeah, ok. And not to mention for most of the game our guys played uninspired. Now, there are some who blame that directly on the coaches, but those that do have never coached or know little about it. You can jump up and down, do cartwheels, and yell all you want sometimes and it won't make the players play hard and that is at all levels. We've all seen uninspired effort by teams before and then at some point later they'll play inspired leaving everyone wondering if it's the same team. That is not on the coaches. They are not cheer leaders and anyone thinking differently, as I said has either not coached or not coached long enough, or has not coached a team or program that is trying to get rid of old ways and rise again. Argue all you want, stupid points won't change that fact, but the only ones that will get it are people who do coach or have in those situations. Our guys' effort and attitude is solely on the players. Now, were there bad calls and plays by coaches? Sure, as is true of every game and I'm sure they were frustrated with themselves about them too. And to add one more, if the game was in dry weather and especially on turf, we win. Our speed and ellusiveness at several positions would have changed things.
