Our stupid poll is winding down. And the second to last game that we most want a "do-over" on is the 1988 Sugar Bowl; it finds itself at the #2 spot on the Top 10 Football Mulligans of the HumpIdiot Era Countdown. We've relived this one before, but let's go to your team of idiots:
AJV, "Oh what could have been."
Poncho, "Where’s my gun?"
Champ, "Where to begin on this one? Let's hope the mulligan would provide the following: someone cancelling the soft Cuse prevent D, Pat Dye growing a pair, and more Keith Jackson broadcasting meaningful Syracuse games. And for the record, Auburn tied Syracuse, not the other way around."
Russianator, "Without question, the 1988 Sugar Bowl needs to be the top do over game in this poll. A Syracuse win would have completed an improbable perfect season and even though the Orange most likely would have been shut out of a national championship (college football - screwing up the post-season since forever) it was ruined by Pat Dye's act of pure cowardice. All I know is Herm Edwards could have never played for Dye at Auburn, because Herm plays to win the game."

How did this not come in number 1?
If Coach McPherson had wanted to win the game he should have gone for it on 4th and inches with 2 minutes left instead of choosing to kick the field goal.
