Both of those exact two things, to the letter, happened in the only other football game of my life, not Greg Cody's life, because his team did it, of my life, where a team walked onto the field and knew, if we win today, we're the greatest team of all time.

who did do a great job at what everyone, myself included, thought the key to the game would be, which is can you slow down Barkley? They didn't slow down Barkley. They shut down Barkley, and it didn't matter.
