This way one can study the pass routes and coverages. It shows much more than just the interior play more common in TV broadcast. It wasn't just a missed field goal. The Ponies came back from a 14 point deficit starting the fourth qurter. It was the bggest comeback in the 4th quarter against a Woody Hayes OSU team at home.
That was the worse field we played on in my career at SMU. Big crown with worn out astroturf and zero padding on top of asphalt. During the Friday walk through, I lefted a seam on the closed end of the horseshoe at the 35 yard line and the carpet come up form sideline to sideline. As rich as that school was it went turbo cheap on its field. Rice had a better field.
Ponyte I'm curious about what your impressions were of Mike Ford? From a spectator's perspective he seemed to have a good arm and could take a hit. I sometimes worried because friends told me that they sometimes saw him carousing the nights before home games. Was that possible? I always liked him and recently saw a news bit about him living somewhere not far from Dallas.
