No offense but that is just crap. We weren’t 5 plays from 11-1. That is fan speak to make you feel better about the season. Those plays while important don’t guarantee the outcome of those games.
Nothing offends me. No need to preface opinion with apology.
Those five plays were directly responsible for 35 points. Four direct play touchdowns for the opposition and one direct touchdown taken away by the opposition. That is a 35 point swing in a series of games (SC, Clempson and the lucky sperm club) that was decided by 20 points in total.
The offense generally scored enough to win, except at ND where State was not going to win BECAUSE their offense was running the State defense over, in every game. Four of those plays were single stand alone plays, game changers.
And finally, defense wins championships.
