In thinking back on the game, there were two plays in the fourth that really could have changed the outcome (or at least changed ND’s path to victory) had they gone differently. The third down with 7 min left when A&M’s Moss looked like he could have pretty easily stuck the ball out to get the first down when he ran out of bounds short of the marker. Then, a couple of minutes later when Collins made the great catch on the sideline. First, I’m still not sure he ever had possession with a foot down inbounds and second, shoving the defender in the back after the play was over easily could have been a costly 15. I know we could play this game with all sorts of plays (including the first down that should have been) but ND was fortunate on those two plays late.
