If you throw on one of those plays 2 of the 3 things that can happen are bad, an incomplete pass to stop the clock or an interception. This is the type of game is one that we need to win to finally reach that 10 win regular season plateau. We played well enough to win, but had mistakes throughout the game the kept us from having a two possession lead in the 4th. We had the breaks turnovers and missed fg by SC, but we weren't able to make the plays needed to win. I'm sick to my stomach, but that is a team loss. Offense could have converted the fumble into points, defense was a second away from making a sack and interception, but weren't able to. We had a lead in an SEC stadium with under a minute, at some point it's on the players to make a play. If we don't get the two big sacks on D in the 4th last week, we are having this convo then as well.
