Agreed that it was a critical moment, but it was not a play we made; it was a play our opponent missed. I was trying to keep it positive, and I chose an assortment of plays from critically important ones (the interceptions by Meeks) to the amazing ones (Love on the bubble screen) that were less important.
Note, for us getting to the Rose Bowl, an equally important play was WSU's interception of Jeff Lockie in the second overtime, which ended the game and gave Oregon a second Pac-12 loss. Without it, Oregon and Stanford end up tied atop the P12N and Oregon goes on to play USC.
