[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 596360, member: 4015"] That is an interesting proposition. It was painful to be sure. The only other ones that come to mind off the top of my head that were bad losses, at least to me were: The game at Grant Field against Virginia Tech when Attachou got called for a silly personal foul on the Hokie quarterback which ended up negating an exciting come back. Maybe the UNC game when Smelter ran a reverse 60 yards or so for a TD with little time left and we managed to let them score again. That "bubble screen" Miami game was pretty bad too. We had two guys on the receiver on a fourth down do or die pass and managed to let the ball hit his helmet and he caught the rebound. I guess I will go with your assessment of the 2013 Mutt loss and the Tennessee game just because we outplayed both of them and managed to give them the game. Some people will bring up the embarrassment of losing to Middle Tennessee State which was pretty bad but they just wanted it more and outplayed us. The Kansas loss is along the same lines. The one constant through all of this was the agonizing thought that at some point in the game most of us knew that defense would collapse perhaps in spectacular fashion and the only way we could win was to get the ball last or just keep it away from them with death marches. The really sad thing about it is that no matter who the defensive coordinator was the defense would fall apart. Three man line it would happen. Four man line it would happen. There was almost never any pressure on an opposing quarterback. I really felt sorry for Rod Sweating, Louis Young, Jemea Thomas, DJ White, Chris Milton, Jamal Golden and several others who were probably criticized but hell, you can't cover them forever. [/QUOTE]
