Maybe I enjoy torturing myself by looking at the past and saying "what if?" I came across this box score today, which is a testament to one of the lowest IQs in NCAA coaching history.
As we can clearly deduce, Simms' last pass went to a CU safety for a defensive score. On the next offensive play, Applewhite's first pass was a 79-yard strike to BJ Johnson. Watching the game from Bloomington, Indiana, a young Dragon said "When I grow up, I wanna throw deep like Major Applewhite!"
Final tally:
Chris Simms 9-17-3-130, 0 touchdowns, 1 fumble lost. Of course when I say "zero touchdowns," I'm obviously not counting the one Moorer ran back.
Major Applewhite 15-25-0-240, 2 touchdowns, 27 CU Buffs cheerleaders' panties wet
+130 yardage differential. 42% completions allowed. Five fewer penalties.
THANK YOU CHRIS SIMMS FOR PERSONALLY ACCOUNTING FOR ALL OF THE FOUR TURNOVERS THAT COST THE HORNS THEIR CHANCE TO GET THEIR SHIT ROCKED BY 2001 MIAMI.
Facking cawk.
