Fair points, Kathy and stupac2.
We can certainly argue about how big a differential constitutes a blowout but I think it was pretty obvious to anyone watching the game yesterday that we weren't going to catch ASU once they were up by 14. Conversely, it didn't feel that way in either of the Oregon games mentioned above well into the second half even though the point differentials were larger at times. Admittedly, this is all based on "feel" and my opinion only. But, to me, a three-score deficit with this offense is every bit a blowout (no, I don't think we could convert two 2-pt conversions).
