I just have to say that this game made me fell very sorry for Charger fans. Bob Stoops is the exact opposite of Marty. In fact, I think we just established the new scale for coaching ballsiness:
Balls:
0................................................. ........2......................................... ..................8
|_____________________________|___________________ ___________|
MartyBall......................................... Even...........................................Bob byBall
Even Herm cant match up to Stoops as far as wanting to "play to win the game!"
For those who didnt watch the game, Stoops, with 1:30 left in the fourth, leading by one, on 4th and 1 from his OWN 29 yard-line (a situation where not converting would guarantee that you lose the game) he send the troops out to go for it. Thompson gets the first, but Stoops had called a time out before the snap. So now the Aggies know the play. They crowd the LOS, anticipating the sneak. And Stoops calls it, Thompson executes, and the sooners win the game.
