[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 130554387, member: 1812660"] How is what he said wrong? I know emotions are high and we've all done unwise things based upon emotions. Being understandable does not negate it being unwise. It all worked out in the end, but what did he stand to gain with the move vs what did he stand to lose? Maybe gain a bit of vain pride in rubbing it in the fans' collective face. UT was averaging around their 30 on WVU kick offs. Move them to almost as far as the 45 and when UT has a kicker with a 55 yard range, that leaves a need to get 20-30 yards for a FG shot. Luckily the QB wasted all of his time scrambling, but UT easily had time for 3 plays. UT was stupid to not just throw a jump ball to one of their 2 receivers that were easily high pointing balls over our DBs twice. With college rule for stopping the time to reset the chains, just hit one and get a chance to spike and then kick. No matter how you slice it, that extra 15 yards greatly improved UT's already slim chances. [/QUOTE]
