A Near-Run Thing

To quote the Duke of Wellington (who was speaking of Waterloo), last night's Auburn game against the South Carolina Gamecocks was "a near-run thing."

It went down to the last play, when the Gamecocks were denied a fourth-down effort to tie the game from the Auburn six yard line.

This should have been a slaughter. As it was, it was far too close for comfort.
