The Play 2.0. Just a shorter version of and equally unlikely of a chain of events as The Play, itself.

And, apart from the 4th quarter rally, our offense was especially unspectacular and business-as-usual. In fact, Sirmon's TD was a Hail Mary answered, since, at that point, it was clear our offense was not going to score.

Another fun moment: Loved the image of Ott being forced to serpentine his way out of the loving exuberance of his teammates after his TD.

After 3 quarters of Because Cal, something magical happened.

Sadly, I think quite a few of us think we would not have…
