College Football Special

On Monday night, I watched the UCLA vs. Tenn. game on ESPN. The first half of the game was completely dominated by the Vols (Tenn. to all non sports people). Note, the first and second string quarterbacks for the Bruins (UCLA) are both injured, so they are down to their third string quarterback Kevin Craft. In the first half of the game alone, he threw FOUR interceptions. Not to mention all of his bad pass decisions and the fact that almost all of his passes were underthrown. Starting in the second half, Mr. Craft was the complete opposite. You would have to have watched the whole game to understand this, but I will try my best. He would throw 25 passes total and complete 18, one of which was a touchdown pass. The scoring drive would be 6 for 6 completed throws with the touchdown. Now, UCLA would score a touchdown with 44 seconds on the clock in the fourth quarter. Score is Tenn. 21 UCLA 24. Can the Vols tie the game with a field goal? After all, their kicker has a range of up to 48 yards and in this game has missed 3 field goal attempts (all were over 50 yard attempts though). AND HE MAKES THE FIELD GOAL FROM 47 YARDS, WE ARE GOING INTO OVERTIME. Coin toss, Vols win and decide to defend first. First two pass attempts by Craft fail, along with a two yard running play. Field goal attempt, AND ITS GOOD. Now, on the Vols first drive they get the first down a bit too easily in my opinion. Second 1st down drive and they can only get 7 yards in three plays, so its time for a field goal from 38 yards to send this game to a 2nd overtime. From 38 yards out, the Vols miss the attempt AND THE UCLA BRUINS HAVE BEATEN TENN. IN OVERTIME!!!!!!!! Tune in later on this week for more College Football Specials and maybe some NFL reports (if I can remember lol).

You seem to be quite comfortable with words, maybe you should be a sports commentator!
