[NU Sports] 'worst losses'

[Michael Vance]

And what hurt the most about it was that either Kevin Bentley or 
Napoleon Harris (I don't remember which) had a clear shot at Brees and 
got tackled from behind.  A properly thrown flag would have given us a 
safety for holding in the end zone; two points plus the ball back in 
good field position.  It really was the play that turned that game around.

We nearly had a safety on first and second downs, and then Breez threw a 99 yard TD pass on third down.  The vast majority of those yards were YACs, as I recall, but either way, it was the nail in the coffin in what looked like the makings of a come-from-behind upset.
