Saturday saw a couple of close calls, but none closer than in the Texas-Nebraska game. With a little more than a minute and a half left to play, and the Longhorns on the short end of a 20-19 score, Nebraska tossed a short pass that looked to have earned the Cornhuskers a first down. But the ball popped loose on the tackle and was recovered by Texas. The offense took over and drove from near mid-field to about the 5 yard line and kicked the game-winning field goal with 27 seconds left. Notre Dame scored on their final possession after UCLA, which had kept the Irish offense in check all day, failed to convert a critical third down and punted to Notre Dame. Brady Quinn hooked up with Jeff Samardzija who zigged and zagged down the sideline for a 45-yard TD with less than 30 seconds remaining. The Irish pulled off the 20-17 win in the most dramatic finale of the season. The Cal Bears had to go into overtime to beat Washington State, 31-24, and extend their winning streak to 7 games after losing their opener in Tennessee. Cal currently is atop the PAC-10 standings at 5-0, with a 1/2 game lead on Southern Cal. Every team usually has close calls in the course of a season. That's what makes championship-caliber teams special. They find ways to win when all seems lost. That kind of stick-with-it attitude was never more apparent than on this weekend just past.
