Upon reflection, I'd like to say one team thought they knew who they were, while the other still seeking their identity. Oh yeah, and Pugh was out for 4 games.
All I'm saying is the only advantage they had was at athletic prowess. They didn't have a better QB and we weren't outcoached. They were simply bigger, faster, stronger across the board.
That...and they had WAAAY hotter cheerleaders. (sorry SU ladies)
