Not a comment on any of the above posters, but instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd put it here. I know this will not be popular, but I think we intentionally traded points for time off the clock. It's not that we weren't trying to score, but we wanted out scoring to come from long possessions, which keeps their offense off the field. We certainly couldn't win a shootout with them, so we had to take time off the clock and hope to score on long drives, which is tougher. The more plays they get to run against our defense, the tougher it was going to be for us.
These were my thoughts at halftime and, listening to the postgame show, they were the thoughts of Pat Angerer and Marvin McNutt.
It did make me smile that McNutt said that the game winning TD was on a slant. He said something to the effect of "slants are great routes to run when you need a TD late in the game".
