We ran that same HB draw with Ford soooo many times.We won the game, but we werent that impressive, but I guess there are two ways we can look at it: either we were lucky Auburn sucked so we could squeak it out, or Auburn was lucky they kept it close because we sucked so bad.Either way it was a win, and it looks goos for us. Unfortunately, we left a lot of "we won, BUT" opinions. GO BULLS, and now time to focus on what really matters: winning the Big East and heading to the BCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the rest of the game that playbook was thrown out the window and Smith did the play calling from the Internet or something. I was pulling my hair out because we got SOOOOO conservative after building a lead in the first quarter. We are lucky to have pulled out the win with that play calling.

The actual TD call was nice, but I HATED the calling of the drive previosu to that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad all their fans want to do is blame their kids instead of giving credit to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or their play book could fit on the back of a manila envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
