I was at that game and really don't remember him doing anything.

Throwing deep balls in the 4th quarter in somebody else's stadium up by 40+ points is what I'm having problems with.

I would start to wince if we were AT Oxford, up 45-3, early in the 4th quarter and my QB started throwing passes deeper than 5-7 yards. If you break open an inside run, no you don't coach the kid to fall down. If you throw a little screen or pass in the flat and the defender misses a tackle and you have a backup in trying to prove himself, fine. However, you don't just keep firing (and making the finger pistol gestures and laughing on the sidelines) and just rub somebody's nose in it because they didn't hire you. And if you do, don't expect them to forget.

That's what he did. And I never forget.
