Man… what a freaking throw & catch!
One of the funniest games I have ever seen in person. Absolutely amazing seeing Case and Edwards do their thing. Listening to the post game driving home, man were Tech fans mad! They started it by taunts of “over rated”.
We should have lost that game, the fumble by Louisiana Tech at the end was horrible. Not to take away from Case though but that was a gift.

Stephon Johnson’s 27-yard TD grab in last year’s win over Oregon State!
Postma was a great backup qb. You knew when he came in the game he knew what he was doing. Going to the Peach Bowl with my son (who was at U of H at the time) was one of the best experiences ever. My wife had to work that weekend, she told me to get the credit card out and go. I have a great wife! Lot of great memories as I look at this countdown to kickoff.
