Edwards hand injury for much of the second half of the season wouldn't allow him to take snaps under center.

When short yardage situations arose, W&J brought in back-up to take snap under center.

Bob,
Now that makes some sense and exactly why WJ would put in a backup in for that situation regardless of how it worked out.  Edwards is still an amazing QB that posesses tremdendous skill and can pass all over a defense any time.  Yes he might of had 4 pics but he kept WJ in the game the entire time going toe to toe with BW until the end of the game. 

heres a poll Question:

Does a healthy Edwards guide WJ past BW and intno Greenville for the rematch????

Bob.Gregg

a "healthy" Edwards?

I didn't say he wasn't healthy.  I said he had a hand injury that kept him from going under center.  Period.

2-3 fewer interceptions, 1-2 caught td passes would have moved W&J past BC and into a rematch at Greenville.

Spin it however you want but it was the pressure that Edwards had from the BC blitzes that decided the game. After Edwards threw the first pick in the endzone, due to pressure, he was reeling. In the second half even when he had time he was throwing it early. He said in the H'burg newspaper that the receivers were supposed to run deeper routes on a couple of his interceptions. Fact is, had he had time to see the break he wouldn't have had to throw it early and hope the ball got to the correct team.

The BC folks have written about the two "gift-wrapped" tds the Presidents got off turnovers, but they fail to acknowledge the gifts were returned five-fold!  Not to mention one of those turnovers appears to have been a very catchable TOUCHDOWN pass!.  And there was that other 42-yard on-the-mark td pass drop!

That early TD-pass turned INT was huge.  W&J had shut BC down on the first drive and went right down the field.  Huge swing in the game.  

BC also had a TD pass that wasn't reeled in by Young right before the half.  The Eagles ended that drive with a missed FG.  

I wouldn't say the gifts were returned 5-fold.  BC had 4 turnovers... W&J had 5, but one of those was a chucked pass at the end of the first half, and another was on a 4th down play where the QB was sacked anyway.  And the 'gifts' you speak of... I think they've been called gifts because they put W&J in scoring position without having to move the ball a yard, something that W&J's turnovers didn't do.

In the 2nd half the W&J qb was taking 1 1/2 to 2 full steps back while the shotgun snap was still in the air.  Never seen that before.  He was clearly rattled by BC's pressure.

Spin it....
I wasn't spinning anything, Llama.

The better team won Saturday.

I was saying that the Edwards mid-season hand injury DIDN'T play a part in the outcome.

Trailing by 2, under 3 mins to play near the BC 30.  Forcing that pass was a GIFT.  That put BC immediately into a scoring position, even with it being 84 yards away.

Again, finally, the better team won Saturday.  One of these days, I'll have the stomach, and take the time, to watch the film and see how much better.  I'm not sure I really want to do that though....

Bob,

I'm not going to bother you anymore about it, because I know how tough losing any playoff game is to the true fan.  Last thing: Of the following two plays, I think the 2nd is more of a GIFT turnover.

1) Defensive player making a play for an INT, followed by an 84 yard drive/run for a TD.

2) QB/RB run into each other, resulting in a fumble which the opposition recovers.  It's followed by a 15 yard drive/run for a TD.

Bob.Gregg

No question whatsoever, mizzou_mofia.  Wasn't disputing that at all.

Good luck, BC & Thiel.  Perhaps the Gregg-mobile will pull into Greenville Saturday.

You are right Bob. Spinning it was not the correct term. My apologies. Just referencing why BC was the better team on Saturday. Hopefully this Saturday will be as successful for the Eagles. But I know its going to be a Dog-fight, or should I say Cat-fight on Saturday! ;D

rules are rules

Bingo. This is all in the championships handbook.

Who knows, maybe there's some event going on on campus that day that they thought they couldn't also manage the game.



I'm sure that it has nothing to do with something else going on, on campus.  As a matter of fact I think it has more to do with the desire of winning the second round, and recieve an all expensed paid vacation to Texas or Deleware. True competitors, or "Scrappers" as quoted by BC post patterns don't care were the game is played they just want to, "Get It On".... As I am sure any playoff team wants to do..
