The thread that will never be: THE DRIVE

[SoonerBeAHawk]

One of the most improbable, incredible and exciting drives ever .... all for naught.

I'm sorry, I just felt the need to torture myself and y'all just a little bit more. OTOH, maybe this will be cathartic? Guess I'll hit the post button and find out ...

I was thinking this very thing earlier tonight. A legendary drive turned afterthought.

Felt like this was the 69th time we've seen this story unfold. I don't belive in the "don't score too quickly" stuff but damn.

This is why I was lost on the jump pass. That should have been grounding. I really didn't have a problem with the rest of Lester's calls.

That could have been a program changing drive.

If the jump pass was just a running play that was stopped on 3rd and goal Iowa wins the game.

I don't know about that. Oregon still had all three timeouts they would have used one there, so not much time would have came off the clock.

Iowa had 3 drives that were 10 plays or longer that last 6 minutes or longer. 2 resulted in a TD, one a fumble at the Oregon 14.

100% agreed. To pour salt on the wound, Oregon marched down the field pretty methodically with the time they did have…even throwing in a couple running plays (at least one for sure).

Yeah WTH was that? Not a single receiver acted like that was a pass play
