It works both ways, Tartan.
Sometimes I've been hell bent on playing one team, and changed my mind after reading this forum...to end up with a winner.
Just chalk this one up to horrendous coaching. Their last drive of the game was deplorable. They ran the ball successfully on two plays, but both of them were called back by penalties which left them with 1st and 25. What they should have done on that first down was throw a short 7-12 yard pass and made it second and much more managable. When they ran again on first down and inevitably got stuffed, the game was almost over right there.
And don't even get me started about their defense.
