I love College Football...... And the HOOS!

10 years ago, UVA's Anthony Poindexter stopped Warrick Dunn on the one foot line to hand Florida State it's first ever ACC defeat. The play is still disputed to this day as to whether or not Dunn broke the plane of the end zone. It was also heralded as UVA's greatest victory in the ACC.

Until Saturday night.

What makes this victory so great for Hoos everywhere? The fact that this team was struggling - struggling to win against lesser teams, struggling with controversy, struggling to define themselves. Faith in the coaching staff was waning, even amongst the Wahoo faithful. Unlike the 1995 team, no one - including even the most die hard Hoo fan - was giving us more than an ice cube's chance in hell.

It took a feisty young quarterback, considered by many to be too short to be taking snaps, to completely decimate very good defense with pure heart and athleticism. It was sight to behold.

Even the much aligned and porous defense stepped up and held off an aerial onslaught by applying just enough pressure and playing opportunistic in the backfield.

And the coaching staff seemed to quickly determine that the wideouts were the chink in the Seminole armor, and methodically exploited this weakness by completely abandoning the running game.

So have the Hoos redefined their season? The AP seems to think so - they voted them back into the top 25. Will they use this game as a rallying point for a respectable season or was this just a magical night where everything came together?

Only time will tell - but god I love college football.... and the HOOS!
