its one thing to say its luck to win a close game at the end.. its another to lead most if the game and have the better of play for long stretches and still have it be a close game at the end and win/lose.

The ending of Purdue was close and could have gone either way.. But we also had a 10pt lead with 8 min to go

We had a 10+ pt lead in the 2nd half of the first 7 games.  Not alot of those type leads get blown in reality so going 6-1 is not really luck its pretty normal.

maybe I should go look thru my database and see how many times we had 10+ leads after the half and lost the game..  There have been some for sure.

I mean look at Clemson that hadnt lost a game leading at the half in almost 70 games at home until the SC game.

bad game by definition what is it?

If you have the ball within a single score late you have a game you can win.  Im not talking bad in the stats because you have to relate that to what the other team is doing as well. when the stats are 400-200 and you are in it thats a fluke.  We tend to lose those more often that win them.
