I’m still furious about how that all went down, BUT the fact that the call - being as controversial and as momentous as it was - was reversed, means there’s no asterisk of any kind on this win. No “yeah, but” to it.
Frankly, the only reason this game was close at the end were things WE did to help them: the drops, the picks, the targeting penalties. Above all, the squib kick. Hated that call more; gave me immediate Rose Bowl vibes but with the shoe on the other foot.
I think this team is still learning how to be the best version of themselves, but if we can ever stop losing starters and key players for long stretches due to injury, we can still claim our 3rd natty in four years.
