btw: I watched the end of the Bruins-A&M game. The TD pass that pulled UCLA to within one TD was a panicked, back-foot lame duck that should've been intercepted. But as they say, Hear about the Aggie who wanted to kiss his girlfriend in a naughty place? Drove her to Waco. Sumlin's team took early advantage of a porous UCLA run defense, then flat ran out of gas and composure.

Whether Rosen is the next Sanchez or Luck will be determined. But clearly, personality-wise, he's the next Jared Kushner.[/size][/font]

You beat me to it. A lot has been made of the ball that went through the A&M players hands for a UCLA TD, but there was also the one you mention. I'd prefer  "Shavitagren" warts and all, to the luck that was needed for this comeback to be helped to reality. That play is 20 seconds from where this youtube link picks up:

There are two ways to look at that throw... the one you mention (that it was a back foot lame duck shoulda been intercepted throw), but also, lesser QB's would have taken the sack and never gotten the throw off.  Yes, he threw into triple coverage and it took a nice effort by his WR to make the touchdown, but again, a lesser player doesn't even give his receiver a chance.
