  1. 1. Did you know that Norman's INT return was for naught?

I didn't. I had never seen this happen before and always wanted to, just for the sheer hilarity of it. So I thought I had seen us get the lead right back after losing it moments prior, only to have someone next to me tell me that the play was dead the moment Norman picked it off. I never knew this... especially because you always hear that when TDs are scored with no time on the clock at the end of a close game, by rule the extra point must be attempted. I always thought it was because something like this could happen and give the trailing team a miracle chance to win the game. You learn something new every day, apparently.

I thought for some reason that we would get the 2 points.

Regardless that play pumped us up and but we just couldn't keep the momentum.

I voted "yes" because the game announcers said so immediately when it happened, and then non stopped the entire time Norman was running. Otherwise I didnt. If anything they should award the opposing team 2 pts themselves on a play like that if they dont want to count it as a TD.

For those who didn't know, I hope the barrage of whistles you heard before Norman even made it to the 30 yard line were a good clue the play was dead.

The reason I knew is because about 10 years ago, App State won a game over Furman due this exact scenario. Under a minute left and Furman went for two with a one point lead to ensure that a FG would only tie the game. ASU intercepted the pass and took it 100 yards for two points and the lead (and eventual win).

The nicknamed it miracle on the mountain:

It is a college rule.

I would think all the whistles would have given him a clue.

Hard to understand how you can be a professional, and not know the rules. Although it was fun watching him give it his all. He wasn't going to be denied. Great effort.

Also, someone needed to knock the poo outta Cutler. That idiot was still trying to make a tackle. Freebie hit on a derp of a QB.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
