[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 979752, member: 1555"] Again, and I realize I'm belaboring a point here, it's shortchanging GT to give equal or greater weight to the coach's poor decision to run the ball, as far as the game's outcome is concerned. To say that the opportunity should never have existed for us is almost like saying egregiously bad decisions and freakish circumstances should never happen in football - yet they do, every season. The media only focused on Mario's bad decision [I]because of GT's actions following it which led to a win for us[/I]. Had we not caused the ensuing fumble and Miami won the game, it would soon have been forgotten. Obviously, Mario's decision was a critical component of the chain of events. And I don't know exactly how much our odds of winning changed from .01% as soon as he made the decision with 44 seconds to go, but I would expect them to have changed only to perhaps 0.1- 0.5% at best. At that point, GT had no time for any other sequence of events to occur and still win the game, yet we (not Miami or their coach) did exactly what had to happen in order to win, including causing the fumble in the first place.
