I kind of question the play-calling on the final drive, a question mark on what otherwise was a flawlessly coached game by Shaw.  Frankly, I'm not sure we would have been able to stop a touchdown I y'all had played that way. But Shaw played for some pretty good averages, it just didn't work out in this particular instance.  Just like in poker, sometimes you make the right play on the wrong hand.

NYC Poke - I like your quote about poker.  That feels about right to me.  Shaw had a really strong full house going to the river card.  Then by some miracle the opponent got the only card that would get them a win.  No shame in going "all-in" on a 35 yd FG to win a bowl game.  I know I was mentally there ready to document the glory or "collect the chips".  I even have shots of the ball on the field ready for play with the scoreboard in the background.  I was ready to contrast those jpgs with jpgs of the score I thought was almost certain to appear a minute or two later.  Oh well.
