Well, I was in the SECCG, and took a 21-0 lead over USC (Yes, USC was there as a 1-loss team). They were pretty good, but my QB was amazingly accurate (11 completions in a row, then 12-13 with his first TD). Even had a blocked FG.
Then, things went sour. USC managed a couple of TDs, and my offense coudln't get things going. Eventually, I see myself looking at a 27-21 defecit. On the return, I manage only the 14 yard line.
First play, I get sacked. Calling time out, I have 7 seconds left on the clock on my own 7 yard line.
I have two impact WRs. My right side WR (lesser used) is blinking... but hadn't gotten open almost all day, save for 1 TD catch earlier. Still, I hope...
The ball snaps and my QB drifts back. From the shadow of my own goal post, suddenly there's hope.
My WR is in Man-to-Man coverage...
My WR gets a step on the DB...
My QB throws to the WR... even in this, I don't expect much. Surely, the DB will catch up and tackle him, as he's still shadowing him close.
Then, the DB screws up. Instead of the tackle, he swipes at the ball, and misses...
93 yards later, the WR scampers into the end zone and ties the game 27-27. I honestly cannot believe it.
A good XP attempt later, and the game ends.
Alabama 28
USC 27
SEC Title in the bag, and an invite to the BCS Title Game.
Even the OT victory over Tennessee wasn't as thrilling.
Man, I love this series.
