I watched it also. Saw the same opening drive 3-4 times before they got the game moving on.

K McCants from uat was an animal - he had one of the best first 3 qtrs that I've seen.

Did anyone else notice that on AU's first TD, that we had 12 men on the field. If you count, we had 5 men in the backfield plus 7 on the line. No call. Can you imagine if that happened in this age and how many times it would have been replayed on sportscenter and all the radio and tv talkingheads screaming about how we got by with one and how it affected the outcome of the game and cost uat ANOTHER natshunul champyunsheep? PF would have had a field day !!!

GREAT GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember some comments but not like how the media would have run with it today.

There was a late INT that AU got that was a complete farce. The LB (can't remember his name) jumped up and upon hitting the ground the ball popped out, but he was fumbling it on the way down and never caught it. Led to an AU FG. That would have been easily overturned today.

I watched the second half (that's when I found it on) and I too remember thinking that Keith McCants was a beast. He was everywhere, he finished with 20+ tackles and an INT. Alexander Wright was the AU player of the game and he made some big catches.
