Message: [QUOTE="Gus Mahler, post: 2969794, member: 6072"] I'm with you. Herm Edwards: "You play to win the game." John Wooden: "Once the game began, I wanted to win as much as anybody." Steve Spurrier (paraphrasing): If the idea isn't to win the game, what's the point of keeping score? Nebraska vs. Miami, 1984 Orange Bowl. Nebraska comes from behind and scores a late touchdown. A successful PAT would tie the game at 31. Armchair pundits pointed out after the fact that since Nebraska was undefeated and ranked Number 1, and since Miami had one loss, going for the tie would have resulted in Nebraska being deemed the national championship (no overtime in those days). Instead, he went for two, the try failed, Nebraska lost the game, and Miami was hailed as the national champion. [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZqYVdcXx8']The play[/URL] [/QUOTE]
