Two facts that help to explain the end of Tech's come-from-ahead loss against powerful NC State and Don Vito Amato:
1. Why was the last time out used? My source says that Chan called it to remind Reggie about the number of downs so there would be no more time management snafus.
2. The UnCatch - What happened here was that during the timeout, while Chan was reviewing the number of downs one more time, Calvin Johnson was asking how many yards he had so far. "I'm the best receiver in America, you know," he said to P. J. Daniels. When he was told he had just over 100, he said, "I need me a The Catch. I GOT to get me a The Catch. I'm the best receiver in America, you know." So when Reggie came back to the huddle, Calvin told him to throw the ball high and outside. "I'll flip all around in the air and make me a The Catch," said Calvin. "I'm the . . ."
"We know," chan-ted the rest of the offense.
"We can make it even better," said an N. C. State linebacker who had wandered into the huddle. "When you're just about to haul in your The Catch, bounce it to me. I'll bounce it back. It'll be all over ESPN Sportscenter."
"Awesome," grinned Calvin, a construction management major.
The rest is history.
