Say, whore, UniScorn is so much better.
It was Breaston behind Ecker the entire time. He's not too far for a lateral (not like Steve couldn't catch up), and you can clearly see him yelling something.
Three times that year the ball was in Tyler Ecker's hands on the last play of the game: The last completed pass at Wisconsin, ditto OSU when he actually ran back IN BOUNDS, and the Alamo Bowl. Three times he failed.
Think of it this way, though. If Ecker pitches to Breaston, we finish 8-4. If we finish 8-4, we don't hire Ron English, and certainly don't roll into Columbus 11-0 the next year. I credit Ecker for showing us that the emperor has no clothes and leading us headfirst -- slowly and incorrectly, but headfirst -- into the glory that was the first 11/13ths of the 2006 season.
Yeah, I only had the YouTube clip to go by so it was hard to make out who was behind him and how far he was at the time. Obviously, regardless of where he was, he should have chucked it somewhere.
