He discusses the "two plays away from undefeated talk" and how it could easily have been "two plays from 8-4" and goes back to other seasons, from Faust's first year to the NC year in 1988, to show how it is always like that.

I feel obliged to add that I do not post this to be negative or attack Kelly; I just think it is interesting how thin the line between success and failure can be.

oh i agree. look at ohio st in 2002. they could have easily lost 3 or 4 games that year. very, very rarely do you see a team come out and dominate wire to wire. that's a good thing. i've never seen a championship team that didn't benefit from some good fortune along the way.
