UT/Florida

College football has been nutty this year with overtime games and missed extra points. Tennessee and Florida, that was a really good game last night.

Cause and effect: Should James Wilhoit have made the game-tying PAT, would the Vols have won that game? Florida would have certainly tried to get in position for a field goal instead of playing for first downs and clock killing, which failed and set up the 50-yarder that won the game.

This kind of play has me puzzled in recent years. Conservative, hoping not to give up the big play. The prevent defense is such a setup. Let's not give up the big play, but let's give up the equivalent of a big play using more time off the clock. The St. Louis Rams easily win the game against the Carolina Panthers by driving for a touchdown in last year's playoffs. But no, conservative, leaving the game to chance in overtime, which is downright stupid. Why can't anyone trust their players to make the right decision?

Oh yeah, annoying moments: mostly UT quarterbacks, but also Florida quarterbacks, getting the play from the sideline while on the line of scrimmage, ready to hike the ball.
