Yeah youre right Matt did, and it was absolutely THE game changer. Picks made a couple game changers this year.

I thought he broke it on that 40 yard completion in the third quarter. Crumedy I think hit him as he threw. The drive we blocked the field goal.Quote:

Crumedy broke his ankle in the third on a third down play where they threw it 45 yards down the field and missed the upcoming field goal.Quote:
