OK, I went back to the game tape and here is what I came up with statistically:

• 68 total defensive plays (that I found)
• 60 defensive plays featured 4-man rush (or more)
• 8 defensive plays featured a 3-man rush
• 2 of the 3-man rushes occurred during the game-winning drive (out of 6 total plays)
• The game winning touchdown was during a 3-man rush

So, Bud was a little off on his estimate of running a 3-man rush 12 times, but, I have to admit I was a little surprised that there were only two 3-man rushes on the final drive. Bud balanced his 3-man rushes to four per half.

There’s no shame in admitting you are wrong – though I believe there is a bit of humiliation that goes with it – but no shame! That being said, after further review, the call on the field has been reversed. Bud was not running a prevent defense … buuuuut it sure seemed like it!
