So we don't think coaches know the spread. There have been many coaches that for the good old boys who right the checks to the school try to cover. Some great ones like the Bear. I seen Alab under the Bear push that last score in many times with little or no time left. Bobby from good old Fld St he always has done it.
Can remember years ago how Texas when playing other Texas schools would always push one last nail in if they could do it. I remember once good old conservitive Bo from Michigan throwing a pass of all things vs Oh St. Were talking little time on clock up by 8 or 9 spread if I remmeber spred was about 11. Oh St had a little bit of a off year. Anyway Mich scored on that play. should of heard all the chit. It was back in the early 80's.
