[QUOTE="GPD, post: 337911, member: 1554"] I don't know "why" they were gassed brother... but based on what I saw, by the middle of the 3rd qtr, they certainly were. If you asked me to speculate, I would say that it was a combination of playing with great intensity against very talented athletes, playing at full game speed in the first game, and a lack of depth available that the coaches believed were ready to be put in the rotation. One thing I know for sure.... Our defense got gassed a heck of a lot later in the contest than did UT's.... UT likely has more (not necessarily better) players available to put in the defensive rotation, and they didn't last past 3 possessions.... We played UT to a draw.... then we got beat on the last play, just like we did to FSU a few years ago....just like Clemson did to Alabama last year. High level athletics involve the opportunity for thrilling, emotional victories, and the opportunity for heart wrenching defeat... our athletes have the talent, commitment, and blessing of being in the arena, putting it all on the line for themselves, their families, each other, and even for US... I'm proud that we have dedicated athletes representing us that strut out on the field and have a reasonable chance to beat ANYBODY we play. [/QUOTE]
