Last night so miss is an 8-9 point fav. leading by 7 first and 10 on the net 20. they kneel down for 4 plays to run out clock. apparently did not care about alumni gambling. contrast that to the toledo/az game last week. over is 50.5 to 51.5 depending when you got involved. az scows with .03 left to make score 37-13 they go for 2 and make it. why 2 to practice for next yr plea. one would assume most alums would bet over. over the years lots of coaches are concerned about the spread if its close. about 8-10 yrs ago ohio state playing the sisters of the poor. spread is 35 with 2 minutes to go o.st is winning 35-0 first down on the opposing 15 yard line they kick a field goal for practice right; unreal anyhow thought i would share. i had the under in the az game and net last night so it washed out but still. best for the bowl series to all heart 222

Some coaches will try to cover the number and some won't - you have to know who they are. Pete Carroll was good at it. Years ago Terry Donahue [UCLA] had the QB take a knee on the 1/2 yard line at the end of the game and lost the cover [I think the number was 8 or 9 and they won by 3]

Umm the coach is up only 1 score and can kneel down and win the game? There isn't any coach in the country that wouldn't have done that.
