Looking at this season, we lose the following games if we didn’t get the lucky break:
GT (4Q fumble)
Illinois (late TD was almost dropped)
Tulsa (gw FG)
I’ll give us the ECU win since it would have still been tied without the Cronk win.
Our real record should be 4-8 after the season. Holtz finished his second year 5-7. Holtz had a few last second losses that year that didnt break his way, in which Strong had some last second wins break his way. They are two peas in a pod as far as coaching goes, and unless the staff is shaken up, we are in for a Holtz-like 3 win season next year under Strong.
