First Dobbs was under center.  2nd, we emptied the backfield.  3rd, if we had a receiver on the right side he went cross field to the left as we really had no out in front blockers it seemed (the OL was sealing off the pursuit).

When I recognized the backwards pass I immediately looked down field, no joy.  Then I looked on the near side and saw Dobbs.  When Jennings threw it I was just praying it got to Dobbs (seemed to take forever to get there).  Then it was just Dobbs making a play.  Nice design and execution. 

The only play I would rank above it was the jump pass on 4th down.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Both excellent plays that put us in a position to win....I just wish we could have held on.
