Exactly. One of my friends asked me tonight if we were that good or if Rice was that bad. Rice had us in third and long several times during that game. We converted most of those. Rice was executing and doing things to stop us on first and second down, but almost every critical third down, we made the play. A lot of that is Dak, a lot of that is the line blocking, and a lot of that is the receivers catching the ball. By doing that over and over, we eventually broke their will.

And then the Egg Bowl- we had 4th and 1 or maybe even a little bit longer than one, and it was pretty much a no brainer what we were going to do, and I had all the confidence that it was going to happen. And the guy that Dak ran over to get that TD was Tony Conner- who I have seen make numerous plays over and over in high school and college. He's the guy that Ole Miss wants one on one in that situation if they need a play made. And Dak not only got the first down, he got the touchdown.
