I just wish the coach wouldn't have gone for 2. What an amazing comeback.

They were down 49-14 in the middle of the 3rd qtr too and down 21 with 3:30 left. Not sure why you go for 2 there but I think if they throw back shoulder instead of a fade they convert.

I'm glad CMU went for two. No chance to not cover either way.

I will keep saying this. QB was a master of moving and buying time all game. Run a regular play and let him do it one more time. Terrible call.

All 100 people in the stadium must have been going nuts.

Being down 35 and making that huge comeback the coach prob thought the team was gassed

Too gassed to run one more 5-step drop? Hardly.

I think it was more of trying to take advantage of a defense that was probably gassed and in shock after a 75 yd hail mary.

That was Stanford/Cal-esque. Unbelievable play.

That's exactly why you go for two. Might as well go all in after having so much go your way.

A backwards lateral that hits the ground is considered a live ball fumble. It's not a pass.
