I don't think it's a "freak" play. It's just one you can't blame on the defense. I don't blame the D for the TD after the blocked punt, either. You're asking a helluva lot of a defense to defend a 12 yard field.

Especially when they were outweighed by nearly 50 lbs per man on the line...

Raita being one of them.

This is why I don't really care to hear about their opinion of our newly found success.

Funny you bring up Mikey Raita. He just informed me on the 5:00 news cast, while talking about UA's game against USM, that we didn't even recruit or "snubbed" USM's quarterback Mullins prior to his easily defeating us last Fall. From what I remember we recruited him but he chose USM over our Blazers. There was absolutely no snub. WTH?

I'll listen again at 6:00 to be sure I heard him correctly unless someone corrects him in the mean time.

Mullins committed to us, then changed his mind and committed to Southern Miss the next day.

Hard to commit to someone who's not recruiting you isn't it?

Raita is not familiar with the situation & is making up things.

Obviously Raita isn't keeping up with Southern Miss either.
