I am so glad that I watched most of that game! My daughter called to tell me about the 3rd string QB having to take over in this game since both the 1st and 2nd strings were hurt. She said she had been pulling for TN, but after watching this young guy, she started pulling for him since he was the underdog. After all,Tennessee was thought to be the ones to beat in this game.
Well, things didn't go just as they planned. The first half wasn't as good for Craft and the UCLA team. He threw interceptions and the last move of the half was terrible. He threw because he was told to, and it cost them. I would have just let them run and ran out the clock! But, when he came back in the 2nd half, he was a different guy. I sat here, thinking at the last few minutes he had the game won! But, there were enough seconds left to get TN back in the running and even again. What excitement that game produced! I know those UCLA and TN fans were going wild. The over time was exciting! UCLA made their 3 points, but when it came crucial for TN to make their 3 points, their kicker could not kick a short goal, giving UCLA the win! I think that young QB deserved the win, although, I too, would have usually been pulling for Tennessee.

Yeah I watched it! I'm a west coast guy on the east coast and wanted to see one of the Pac-10 teams play! They looked horrible to begin with and were lucky to be in it in the fourth, but dang! They sure played when it counted! A very fun game to watch!

My daughter called and said she felt sorry for the young man. And, I certainly thought that perhaps he wasn't going to be able to pull them out after TN made that touchdown right at halftime. But, he showed how good he really was when it really counted! I almost jumped out of my seat when he threw that pass over the guy's arms in the end zone,though. But they finally made contact. But the thrilling part was the ending!! I know the VOLS coach was very upset. But, these UCLA players just had what it took to win!
