[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 86161, member: 959"] " Perhaps that’s one reason why, with a 21-17 lead in the fourth quarter, Johnson opted to go for it on fourth-and-two from the Miami 8-yard line. I know, it’s just not in Johnson’s DNA to kick a field goal, even in semi-obvious situations. But the call was a little surprising. “I thought about it for a minute,” he said. “But the way the game was going, I wasn’t comfortable being up seven. And if you don’t make it, it’s (deep in Miami territory). I told the guys, ‘We run this play every day, so let’s run it.” [B]Miami came up with a unique way to defend the triple option: They didn’t cover the pitch. Thomas took the snap, ran right, drew a lone defender and pitched to Deon Hill, who could’ve stopped, sat down, made a sandwich, eaten it and watched a couple of movies and still had time to walk into the end zone around right end. That made it 28-17.[/B] " [url]http://www.myajc.com/news/sports/college-football/techs-season-may-be-turning-into-something-special/nhcHL/?icmp=myajc_internallink_megamenu_link#6170e783.257107.735511[/url] [/QUOTE]
