yep, my heart definitely stopped...twice.

heart-stoppage #1:
:07 left. pitt had the ball. huskers were up by 1. 2nd down. they were 30-40 yds from their endzone. kicking a field goal with the wind.

the ball was hiked while the place-holder was watching the sideline. it bounced off his head and into the kicker's hands. he threw it downfield with no receiver in sight (it totally should have been an intentional grounding penalty).

i believe my heart started beating then.

heart-stoppage #2:
:01 left. 3rd down.

the place-holder was paying attention this time. for the second time in the game, the blackshirts (husker defense) blocked the field goal.
