We've had some incredible football games today! Texas A&M played Florida tight, and with 3:40 to go in a tied 38 all game, Gators fumbled, Aggies recovered and ran plays til 1rst and Goal with seconds to go, and kicked a FG to win, 41-38 (Over-rated!! clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!).
Then, LSU had it first and goal with less than a minute to go in the game, down 45-41, but Missouri decided to put up a goal-line stand, and their D shut down LSU and pulled out the win.
Next, Texas (playing at home) had first and goal with just seconds remaining in the game, down 31-24, scored and chose to go for 1 (playbook recommends this when playing at home), tying the game at 31 all end of regulation. 4 OTs (and 2 totally gassed Ds later), OK won the marathon 53-45.
Finally, down 28-27 with 28 seconds to go in game, Auburn QB fumbles the snap, recovers it then spikes it, while Arkansas D tries to recover spiked ball as a fumble, leading to a called intentional grounding penalty (and not a backward pass fumble) by Auburn, for a loss of down and 10 seconds taken off the clock. With 0:12 on the clock, after shanking a possible game-winner 2 minutes earlier, Auburn kicker makes the 39 yd FG for the win, 30-28. Expect to hear a lot about this controversial no-fumble call (Melsby was down!!).
Here's hoping the late afternoon games are at least half as entertaining!
Also really feels like the SEC head office was calling that officiating crew to try and save Auburn from the upset home loss. Conference would have looked rather bad if Auburn lost there.

Total Blood Week so far.
