I mentioned in “Monday Thoughts” that Branden Ore’s game-winning
touchdown was a fascinating play, and after spending time breaking it down and

in the last ten years.

Here’s a diagram of the play, which shows the ten players involved in the
play for VT and the ten players involved for Miami. The eleventh players for
each team consisted of a receiver and defender split wide, and neither one had
an impact in the play.
