I think the bottom line is this -- Michigan State has the best defensive of any team we played this season, and no one else comes close. During the timeout before the final fourth down play, I wondered aloud about the quick pitch out play we've seen a few times before in those situations, usually to Wilkerson. We even had the right formation for it, so after the fact I thought it would've been a good call. But when I watched the recording and looked at the play several times, I'm not as sure anymore. Sure, the linebackers were completely selling out on the dive, but the corners on both sides were protecting the edge. I don't know if Gaffney could've gotten outside or not.
