East-West Shrine Game

[CrabMan]

even better, he is wearing his BCS sticker.

Even better yet, he didn't tarnish his helmet with decals from other schools.

East up 31-21 thanks to a drive saving run by Gradkowski on 3rd and 15 - then a TD (Howard)

 

[jwinslow]

McNeal strikes back with two fly routes with horrible coverage on the final one. 2 min to go, West up 35-31.

If NFL GMs are worried about whether VY will be healthy, there is no chance they take a flyer on the bean pole that is mcneal (ignoring his passing problems).

How quickly things can turn. McNeal and Hass just boosted their profile on a TD pass play that gave the lead back to the West squad. 31-35 with under 2:00 to play
(Though I agree with you jwins - his past passing was not as pretty).

Gradkowski again makes something out of nothing with his legs.

big 15 yard pass on 4th and 10 by basanez... williams almost bobbled an easy catch to lose the game

 

[sandgk]

Hail mary to the 1, 8 seconds left

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Oh what a horrible final call.

 

[osustamm]

did they call a timeout at the end? sure didn't spend much time setting up the play...

 

[jwinslow]

anyone missing this just missed a classic...

basanez threw a bomb that was caught on the half yard line... timeout with 1 second left.

on the ensuing play, the RB was stuffed. west wins 35-31.

 

[osustamm]

Good thing we get to listen to mark may now... idiot

 

[jwinslow]

anyone know why the east coach did not call a TO with 09 seconds left? They could have easily thrown a fade route in that much time.

 

[DallasBuckeye]

what a stupid play call on the 1 yard line. I don't care what people say: Houston Nutt is an idiot. that play had no chance and cost them a win. oh well...

 

[sandgk]

Hula Bowl now up.

McNutt.

Need one say any more?
