If you think 2002 and 2014 are comparable, simply look at the data below.
2014's going to match that offense? Miami had Roethlisberger, etc.
If you still think that, wow!

I mis remembered the Purdue game. If we didn't intercept the pass at the end, a field goal would have only tied the game. Of course they still would have time to try to score a touchdown.
