AFA and SDSU had D like Swiss cheese. UNM's D had been ripping people up all year.
I think you twist your stats and analysis purposefully to further your agenda, but I have respect for your intelligence. Buying into a crazy theory like this lowers your respectability.
Did you buy that crazy theory several of the regulars were floating at the end of 2002 where supposedly everyone on the team knew Schmidt was not the D coordinator except for Schmidt, and defensive players would fake look at Schmidt for the call and then look over his shoulder to Tidwell who was in the background slyly sending in the correct defensive call? That was funny one, too. But I always thought the intelligent portion of the Cougarboard crowd laughed this stuff off.

Did I say I really believed that multiple players tanked the game? No. All I said is that Lance Jr. claimed he didn't play well to thwart Crowton and there were enough other things that happened in that game to wonder if others had done as well.
If BYU had scored 35 points, instead of having numerous drops, sacks and so forth, there wouldn't be any room for suspicion.
