    Yeah, but it wouldn't prove much, since the likes of Ohio State, Michigan State, Washington and Oklahoma each have been on the wrong side of semifinal massacres as well. ND, too, for that matter.

    I think Washington lost 24-7. It was 17-7 until at least midway through the fourth quarter. The Huskies were in no danger of winning, but it was not a massacre, by any means.

    I know the wind gusts on record are 29 mph for the day, but what would it have taken to do that ? Looks physically impossible.

    That's like a localized hurricane gust. I've seen the wind knock down a lot of footballs, baseballs, golf balls, etc., in my day. But to just stop one in its tracks like that, and from pretty close in as well, where it has plenty of momentum coming off a strong leg (the same kicker hit a 51-yard field goal earlier in the game), you're right. It absolutely defies physics.
    There's a reason this ending is still remembered down here almost 40 years later. You could play a million games, and kick a million field goals, and never see that happen again. I'd love to see a Sports Science breakdown of this where they try to recreate it in a wind tunnel.

    AHAHAHA. Liberty is ranked below JMU, which hasn't played a game. Jerry Falwell is rolling in his grave and Jerry Falwell Jr. is rolling in Becky's gravel pit crying like a bitch.

    I remember Alabama and Utah in the Sugar Bowl. 'Course the Tide was disappointed to be there, and they really weren't into the game.
