McNeal

[SMU 86]

Not to take anything away from a positive night for McNeal, but they let himscore on the last 50 yard run. Had he just kneeled down at the 5, we could have taken a knee and run out the clock. By scoring we gave them a chance to tie.

Even if you take away the 50 yard run. McNeal still has over 100 yards. And a lot of those yards he gained with not so great blocking, I am glad to the NCAA allowed him to play, if he not does play we lose the game,

I agree. That is why I said "Not to take anything away from a positive night.." But you have to admit watching a safety and a cornerback diving to tackle him from more than 10 yards away was kind of humorous.

PonyScott beat me to it, but yeah... in the presser McNeal said that winning was more important than getting the TD, but after Sanders stopped him, at the last second Sanders said go ahead and take it... and of course he did.

[that's great raplh]

Illinois did the same thing against Minnesota in the mid-1990s after the Gophers had taken the lead. Illinois coach Lou Tepper admitted it to the media following the U's win. I understand the strategy. It just usually doesn't work.
