almirUT and I just had an epic game for the ages.
It was a back-and-forth affair. I briefly held a two TD lead, but he tied it up with a little less than 3 minutes remaining in the game after I threw a stupid pick on my side of the field.
I rallied and pounded the ball on the ground until there was about a minute left and I was on his 40. I then took to the air a couple of times, to no avail. On a stroke of madness, on 2nd and long with 30 seconds to go in the game, I ran to the right and managed to wiggle past his defense, taking it all the way in for the go ahead score:

With about 20 seconds or so left, almirUT led a heroic drive down the field. Thankfully for me and tragically for me, a brilliant underneath throw to Stocker came up just short of the goal line, as time expired:

The first TD of the game by me, after amirUT's defense had stiffened up and held me back up to this point.
Final Score: 31-24 IPorange. I advance to the Elite 8. It's getting hard, boys.
Honestly, amirUT could have easily won that game. I had two huge breaks: an interception he should have probably caught, and a catch for me that he probably should have intercepted.
