USF-Tulsa Haiku

Sometimes, you need an entire anthology to describe a game.

Absurdly slow start
Tulsa led for the whole game
Despite that, we won

Looking unprepared
Not a sign of good coaches
Despite that, we won

Sterlin Gilbert makes
Very offensive play calls
Despite that, we won

Fell behind early
Couldn’t move the ball at all
Despite that, we won

The end of the half
Looked like Skip was calling plays
Despite that, we won

Relying too much
On Cronk to get loose for six
Despite that, we won

Second half defense
couldn’t stop lowly Tulsa
Despite that, we won

Trailed by 14
With 12:51 to play
Despite that, we won

Missed a PAT
At the worst possible time
Despite that, we won

Needed two points. Burned
A timeout. Barnett was sacked.
Despite that, we won

A Tulsa first down
Would have ended the ballgame
Despite that, we won

Called for holding twice
On the game’s deciding drive
Despite that, we won

Needed a clutch kick
from the backup placekicker
Despite that, we won

We won we won we
shouldn’t have won but despite
that we won we won
