re: Why is a 41-38 regarded as the best game ever played?

Both teams amassed 550 plus yards and a game that both defenses showed up for the first quarter then shite the bed. Why are offensive shoot outs so exciting for people? It would seem you'd want a game where offense defense and special teams all have a decent game sorta like a 28-24 game or a 34-28 game (no shots fired, it really was a good game) shite, the 21-17 Alabama game or the LSU-Clemson game were exciting despite not being high scoring. I just don't get it at all. This Big-12/PAC-12 offensive mentality kills me.

Pretty much because it was a great football game that saw the unbeatable USC juggernaut fall in the last second in a game that went back and forth all day long.

It may not have been definitely the best game ever played, but for the average viewer, it was some real good entertainment.

You can respect a good defensive slugfest, but at the end of the day your run of the mill fan is going to prefer some offense to running up the middle three times and punting.
