Iform Tight – Triple Option reverse; strong side straight to the endzone, that is how 2013 Heisman winner Terrence Graves ended his college career. The Heisman jinx and Namath Bowl curse (2-5 bowl going into the sugar bowl) looked to be in full effect as West Virginia had managed to come back down from 21 points to tie the game at 31. After throwing for over 200 yards in the 1st quarter, Graves had all of sudden thrown three straight picks all of which set up Touchdowns. Momentum was clearly in the Mountaineer’s favor (WVU’s meter was full). Then Graves led the Crimson Tide on one of the greatest drives in Sugar Bowl history
The 4:27 Drive, ended in a Terrence Graves TD, his 5th of the game.
