Can he not throw it more than 50 yards? That was just strange

He's never been known for his arm strength. I thought they might bring in GMac to heave it.

Sooooo many what ifs in that game. If Mike gets his head turned around faster on the 4th down play and blocks the trailing safety, Star Thomas would have had a TD. That was just a brilliant play call.

It amazes me the folks that categorically dismiss the concept of any moral victories that feel comfortable sharing or backslapping moral defeats!

I think he can throw it far enough but just didn’t step into right

If I remember correctly he was flushed out of the pocket by a 4 man rush. It was actually thrown from around the Vols 40 or so I believe.

Exactly, Mike Matthews should have bought a ticket for that play, go block someone!

He was also throwing into the wind. The entire 4th quarter I was worried we would be put into a FG situation again at the end of the game. Glad it didn’t come to that.

We were sitting near the other end of the stadium on the home side by the flagpole and the wind was whipping. I think that’s why State decided to play the OT on the other end right in front of our band.
