Not the most technical adept game, but 19-19 makes for an exciting game. ---

Again, bad call. When you’re down by 8, 3 points can be worth the same as zero. If he had an 80% chance to make it, it was the right call. ---

Oregon’s defense on Auburn’s last drive not-withstanding, the value of that 3 points couldn’t be immediately evaluated, it’s worth became clear when Oregon scored their last touchdown. The play in question is 0-2 tonight. ---

He won the game, but he strikes me as overrated. I don’t see anything that really translates to the NFL other than his height. I don’t even think he’s that fast. He’s kind of on the radar for the Vikings draft because we need a QB so badly, but going on tonight, I think I’d pass on Newton.
