I think you're name is getting more appropriate for your graying hair.
If you were calling the plays against Tek, then you were just playing it
safe to run as much clock as possible. Maybe Pfil Hasbennett's defense
might get out of there with an under 50 score by Tek. IF Pfil was calling
the plays, then maybe Hasbennet is really his name. If not then U R
getting OLD, and RUSTY, Rusty.
If a YOUNG head coach named Hayden Fry hadn't taken the time to look
at a track star named John Roderick who hadn't played much football,
and played him for the first time against the #2 ranked NAVY
Midshipmen, then a very valuble moment, and WIN in Mustang football
history would've been lost. With a lot of crazy end arounds, and other
antics by Roderick, the probably 28 point underdog SMU beat #2
NAVY 32 - 28. Hayden Fry wasn't scared of LOSING HIS JOB, didn't
play it SAFE, and tried everything he could think of to beat his
opponent.
When Pfil said during the week before the game that he was going to
look at both QBs, it sounded like an NFL coach before a pre-season
game. Doesn't count, we're just playin this one for practice. With Willis
9 - 16 with no interceptions, and leading rusher to boot, SOMEBODY was
just playin it SAFE! Chuck Hixson started his first game as a sophomore
in his first college game as a heavy underdog against Auburn, and went
crazy for passing completions, and yardage to win 38 -27.
9 of 16 completions for 68 yards by your starting QB in a spread
offense IS NOT TRYING TO WIN!!!!
Lotsa Luck, (We're gonna need it)
