LEON URIS' FAVORITE TEAM!

Have you seen the final play from the Division III Trinity-Millsaps game yet? Unreal. It was one of those keep lateraling on the final play deals, a la Cal-Stanford. Except that it worked. Trinity lateraled, I believe, a dozen times. It was less an effort to score than a glorified game of keepaway, a battle of attrition. Millsaps, eventually, just was too exhausted to keep chasing. There were MIllsaps players walking during the play, half because they thought the game must be over and partly because they were just tongue-draggin' beat. Watch the play (and you'll surely see it a million times) and look for the Millsaps player near the very end of the play who gets blocked and by the way he falls, you think he's paralyzed. It's scary at first, but then you realize he fell that way because he was just that tired.

Is it the most amazing game-winning play ever? Not sure about that. But I'd like someone to investigate whether, in terms of seconds, it's the longest play in college history. I'd venture that it is.


ASU is up 31-20 and has the ball with less than six minutes remaining. Looks as if we're going to have a showdown game in Eugene next Saturday. ASU won this evening because 1) they have a terrific defense and 2) they can run the ball, at least against Cal.

Should be awesome in Autzen next week.

Goodnight, everybody.
