re: Comparing Rice vs Arkansas

The game for BOTH teams is a study of how to handle adversity be it self inflicted or otherwise.

Sumlin has a teachable moment in the first 3 quarters on how a team can completely bone itself and still keep attacking for a win.

Bert has a teachable moment on how proper execution by doing nothing more than your job (i.e. no dumbass penalties) will produce excellent results.

You hear the Patriots' coach always haranguing his players to "Do your job!". It's simple in theory but harder in application. If you "Do your job!" you likely will win.

It was the most entertaining game that I've watched this year, specifically because of the stark contrasts of styles.
