Apples and oranges. USC is doing something almost unheard of in college football today. Colorado and Washington are poor examples.
I heard the story and was thinking that it all sounds real close to the truth. It also hurt when I heard it and I am sure we will hear it again.
1. No. They ended up with less points than we did. 2. No. It worked. We won. 3. He probably didn't think there was enough time to line up and spike. I don't know. I am not Les Miles. Ask him, not me. 4. Insane? Doubtful. I frankly don't remember the situation. Again, Ask Les, not me. Why don't you go out there and coach a team. It's apparently real easy to do.
Either way, it's hard to spike the ball or kick a field goal when the referees do not place the ball before the clock expires.
Will you agree that the defense in last years UGA game was suspect? What about Auburn pounding us 34-17 in 2000, what about the loss to Alabama-Birmingham in 2000, what about the 41-9 pasting UF put on us in 2000, what about in 2001 when UF pounded us 44-15, or when we let Ole Miss comeback and beat us, or in 2002 (year after SEC title) when VT smacked us 26-8, or maybe the Auburn game in that same year (31-7 sound familar), or what about losing to Bama in that same year 31-0. Would you agree that all of those were examples of terrible defense and/or terrible offense? Do you agree that not having someone deep in the backfield for what is an obvious hail mary play against Iowa is not a "bad decision"? I quit, this is too easy.
