Isn't it odd -- and I am as guilty of it as anybody -- that one bad option read on a 2-point conversion, and one last second, spectacular catch by an opponent lost us two games that would have put our record at 7-4 with a cancellation, vs. 5-6? At 7-4 you are competitive, at 5-6 you are not, yet it was two plays that decided such. Sometimes I love sports, sometimes I hate sports.They replayed the interview. Other nuggets include:
-There is constant teaching, both film and on the field.
-Spring is a time where everyone gets to play. It's different in the fall when they break into the regulars and scout team.
-CNW has made good progress installing the defense thus far. Their goal is to create more negative plays
-CPJ is meeting with every player. Has met with about 1/2 of them so far.
-TM is more comfortable with the offense and continues to progress. Still needs to work on presence in the pocket. Expects improvement from year 1 to 2 with the offense.
Buck asked about the impact the TN loss had on the season. CPJ commented that the Miami game was more as a gut wrencher because of how it played out at the end (commented on circus catch made over 2 defenders on the last scoring drive by Miami).

Win those two games and I bet we do t lose to Duke or UVA. The team looked like it was going through the motions going into the Uga game. It’s anaz we played as well as we did vs VT and yet we were still in inch or two away from losing. This team was just as close to 9-2 as it was 4-7. Sports....... It can take years off a die hard fans life.
