  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.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
