When KJ Jefferson’s first-down pass sailed through back of the end zone leaving one second on the clock for a final play, I couldn’t help but think well played, college football scriptwriters, well played indeed.
Had time expired on that play, it would’ve been an exciting way to end a game, but it would’ve had huge TIRED energy and not WIRED energy, which is right in the sweet spot the scriptwriters wanted.
Instead of one play being run in six seconds, they saw the emotional twists of two plays plus a two-point conversion attempt. Why they chose to subject Ole Miss and Arkansas fans to this and not some normally boring Big 10 game I don’t know.
