And, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Vickers give up a sack just before that field goal attempt that made it much longer than it would have been otherwise?

I got a chance to work with Heck a bit when I was at UVa and mentioned that to him once. He agreed (of course), though he also said that he thought that if they beat Tampa then they would have taken out St. Louis and gone to the dance. Not sure about that one.

Sorry for the digression. That one sticks with me for some reason. Maybe I need to get some counseling or something

I think we would have beaten St. Louis if we hade made that kick. We had already kicked there butts that year during the season and if I remember correctly St .Louis barley beat the Buc's.
That Buc's playoff game still hurt's me when I think about it.
