The defense knew that runs were coming every time and struggled mightily to stop them.

It was a terrible, ugly game, and one that I hope pollsters didn't watch.

We still won.

Good teams still win even when they play crappy and overcome their mistakes.

I thought Crowton was an average head coach, people here thought he was worse than Gomer Pyle heading up NASA research. It wasn't that I thought he was the best coach, it's just that the difference in severity of our opinions seemed to give you the impression that I did.

BYU is too tough of a place to coach if you're only average. However, how many superior head coaches are out there that will fit at BYU? Divine intervention, I tells ya.

It's all perspective. Many of us thought we were simply saying Crowton, despite having some extenuating circumstances, was underachieving and that you were the one saying he was a great coach who should receive NO blame for the losses due to the circumstances. But it's all good now. BYU's winning. Crowton's a national champ. I'll stop having the nightmares soon.
