Looking back, had Chase not come in and rescued the game against Iowa State, we would have missed a bowl and HCGP probably would have been fired. Now, you can say it wasn't luck, because the DID recruit Chase and DID insert him as the back-up. OTOH, some luck was involved it seems to me - HCGP's career could have gone south right there in 2005 with one more loss. Who knows what would have happened in COMO with the new coach.

As an aside, gotta admit, Brad was miserable passing the ball. I was at the KU game that year and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, not even close. He was something like 14-37 and we scored 3. They ignored any pass farther than 10 yards downfield and it worked. I honestly feel like Chase would have won us more games in 2005 than Brad, but that's just speculation.

BTW there was some luck involved in the glorious comeback against South Carolina in the Bowl.
