Been working on a project with a group from AU so up and had the replay on. Every close game seems to have a few plays that make the difference and this one had more than its share.
Mo was part of three plays. The ref play that could have been a much longer gain. The pass that Eric sailed that would have been a TD and of course the fumble.
Erics fumble that was ruled down
The botched snap and missed NC field goal.
The booming Hof punt cover by Shy
The shanked NC punt
The dropped wild cat pass
Shy sniffing out the option pass
SU having too many second team special players on the NC punt return
If any one of these plays has a different result there is a good chance the outcome is different.
Personally i think the difference in the game came down to the NC coaching staffs horrible play calling after Tommy threw the interception. If they had simply run the ball 3 times they most likely kick a game winning FG.
One other point. I think that we are going to see both Eric and Tommy going forward because it will put a huge amount of pressure on opposing Ds. Dino has a tough call on naming a starter but based on Eric not being 100%. Press conf quote" the medical staff has cleared him to play" if you are not injured you dont need to be cleared. I would start Tommy.
Great game. Cant wait to knock the Irish out of the playoffs!
Go Cuse!
