[QUOTE="Techster, post: 49905, member: 360"] The thing is, luck/fortune plays a role in a lot of team's seasons. Auburn last year...in back to back weeks no less, was the beneficiary of huge plays falling their way. If you look at all the teams that played for the national championship, you can probably point to a few instances during their season that could have swung either way. I think the 2009 example of Josh Nesbitt versus Wake was more us having better athletes and just execution. There wasn't a point all throughout the 2009 season if it was 3rd/4th and short that Josh wouldn't have converted...or that was our belief (and CPJ's given how often he went for it). That's why Josh gets the reputation for being "clutch" with our fanbase. Nesbitt on the midline keeper was pretty automatic for us. I think the 2008 FSU game at BDS where luck really helped GT. Cooper Taylor sticking his hat in there and the ball popping into the endzone where a group of Jackets happened to be. Same for he 2008 UGA game when UGA fumbled on the kickoff and the ball just happened to fall into Marcus Wright's hands while he was on the ground. Every coach will tell you that during the course of a season, there are a few plays that have to go your way to have a really special season. Sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don't.
