With respect, I must strongly disagree with the idea behind the original post, that what constitutes a "big game" and what fails to rise to that level can be determined in retrospect. At the beginning of the season, we were all asked on a separate thread to identify those games on the upcoming calendar that posed the biggest potential threats to an undefeated season. Yes, the games that turned out to be close, like Notre Dame and Texas, drew plenty of responses, but SC was, as expected, right up there. Fans knew it would be a road game in a packed, hostile environment against a traditionally vaunted opponent. So did the coaches and players. That the latter prepared so well in anticipation of what they knew they would face, and that, as a result, they put an old-fashioned beatdown on that opponent, does not, after the fact, diminish the quality of their accomplishment. It was a big game on the calendar, and remains a big game in the rear view mirror. Hats off for a big time victory of a very convincing nature!
