Re: OMG look what happened thread
Posted it in a couple threads but my second game of the season with Tulsa, in what was supposed to be kind of a guaranteed win situation against UMass, (couldn't bring myself to schedule an FCS team). Figured I would get healthy against them before Conference play in my Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana version of the Big 12.
After handling Western Michigan in Week 1 31-14, thought for sure this would be a cake walk.
Game starts out with us trading TD's and it's 21-21 after the 1st quarter. Fine, the last game was 14-14 after the 1st quarter and things settled down.
Instead the game goes this way all game, kick returns for TD's, Pick 6's, long passes, long runs, just an absolute lack of defense save for turnovers.
Anyway, I score with 2 minutes left to make it 56-56 and I am thinking I am screwed for a bowl game if UMass is this hard. They drive down the field and with 15 seconds, I stop them, but on my 15. They had missed a chip shot earlier, so I was hoping it would be the same. As soon as it gets out from the cut scene, ball is snapped, no time to even ice the kicker. They make it and I am pissed! More about not being able to ice the kicker than them actually making it.
They kick off and I decide to return the kick, I get out to my 45 almost breaking one away. 2 seconds left, I throw up a prayer on a crossing route, my guys jumps up and catches it on the 20 as the DB falls down and he walks into the endzone...Tulsa wins 63-59.
I lost to Oregon State the next game, but have beaten Kansas State and Texas since. Weird, but I love it!!
