hahaha, as the Kansas coach made the speech and I was with some friends he said you know what this is all about don't you? I said BCS and then he said BCS. too funny. not sure if its true but my lord, that was horrific. no way that call is ever made against a better team than Kansas. props to him for stepping up. Nick woulda bowed down I guarantee it. love that fat man.
If the Kansas coach is saying that the call was all about the BCS what is the non call with Corey Webster all about. Or the PF we had against AU for the extra point. Who is to say Kansas would have won anyway it was for a first down not a touchdown.
But it was first down with under 3 minutes to go and 20 yards further down the field. They could have run the clock down pretty damn far. And whose to say they don't get one more first down after that and end the game. It's just a damn shame. Plain and simple.
It WAS a bad call - BUT... If Kansas doesn't inexplicably let Young run for a first down on FOURTH AND EIGHTEEN, it's a moot point.
As good a game as the middle linebacker had (#7) for Kansas, he missed 3 tackles late in the game that really cost his team. Dude can't make an open field tackle to save his life.
I didn't see the play in question, but I did see how his team absolutely, totally, without a doubt choked down the stretch in this game. I don't care how bad that other call was, you give up a fourth and FREAKING 18 and lose as a result, you get what you deserve.
