Just rewatched the game, then the FOURTH quarter AGAIN (that last as much or more for pleasure--and amazement!--than anything).
Among many details, the Cocks crowd mocking us with the "Chomp" something I missed at the time...The bad snap on the extra point came directly after: Don't mess with OUR mojo!
From that point on, an uphill slog somehow slowly gained traction: We really DID seem to come together, FEED off each other...Desperation seemed to turn to unstoppable determination at some point.
When Boardingham stuck a big paw in the air and came down with the high hard one at the goal line to cut the Gamecocks' lead to 3, you could feel it: Our game from that point ON.
They kept stopping us on 3rd down--and WE kept MAKING it on 4th!
Then "The CAROM". Then they rough Mertz again--but he throws the winning TD ANYWAY!
I cannot remember a final few minutes like that one.
