[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 967657, member: 274"] I've been thinking about this all week and can't decide. 26 seconds to go. Which pass by Haynes King was most impressive? Poll included. [B]1) Teardrop to Rutherford[/B] - I have no idea how Haynes squeezed this in to our smallest receiver. Rutherford was more or less bracketed. Under pressure standing on the right hash, King dropped an absolute dime in to Rutherford (who made an equally impressive catch). [B]2) King and Leary say "night night" Miami - [/B]No surprise this play gets most of the attention. Flushed out of the pocket, on the run, King drops the pass right in Leary's bucket in stride for the game winner. The gumption and confidence it takes to convert this pass is impressive, particularly because there's a chance that play either a) exhausts the clock due to the heave, or b) keeps us entirely out of FG range with a couple ticks left. The safer play may have been to get 10 yards for a first down out of bounds, but King chose to be a King. [B]3) Incompletion on 1st down[/B] - This is the dark horse. We had a crossing route of sorts with a player wide open on first down. Under pressure, King threw the ball at the player's feet. On the surface, this is an innocuous failed play. If we converted the pass, which was open, our WR was likely getting tackled inbounds. With no timeouts, the game would have been over or max 1 more play from our end of the field. As a couple others have wondered, was the incompletion intentional? How hard is it for a college QB to know/remember that converting that pass is a bad decision? More often than not, those passes are completed and teams are left dealing with the consequences. No doubt, every single throw and outcome on that last drive was critical to getting the W. [/QUOTE]
