I watched the replay last night, then again today. I noticed a couple of things I thought were "interesting":

-I bet if you asked Brock Taylor he would tell you that he thought he made the kick at the end of regulation. Both of his two prior FGs hooked a few feet. The last one stayed dead straight and missed by about 6 inches right. He had to be playing for the draw and it just stayed straight. Maybe more unlucky than anything else for him.

-On the final play of OT, after the Vandy TO, HCCL Lea took both Patterson and Longwell out of the game and replaced them with Nick Rinaldi and a Safety (I think it was Carter who came in). Pretty gutsy move to take 2 of your best defenders off the field for the play and it obviously worked. I also noted that Christian James was in for that final series. He clearly wanted an experienced guy in the interior DL in that situation.

After holding tickets for 30 years and watching on TV for the last 12 not sure I have ever seen a gut it out come back like that! I was there for the first time in 12 years. Did the O or D play perfect? No. They played well enough to win. I don’t do win predictions. They may win 5-7 or finish the year at 1. I just know I saw a well coached team, really great game plans, and players fighting till death.

I might have accidentally worn white pants and a black VU polo (Star V) to church today. Outside before church, I met two couples wearing VT colors, and they had come down for the game. We had a wonderful conversation for about 10 minutes, and they could not have been more gracious. Also, they were effusive in their praise of Pavia.
