The last player to score for Schoolya’gain was Colts WR Andre Johnson – earning 2.10 points on 1 catch for 11 yards at the 5:05 mark of the 4th Quarter. This stat, coming in the final minutes, of the final quarter, of the final game of the week, essentially gave Schoolya’gain what she needed to pull off the swap/win. Ironically, on the very next play, Johnson was targeted by Andrew Luck again, but the pass was intercepted by Marcus Gilchrist of the Jets.

Remember that game of inches I spoke of at the beginning of the season? It doesn’t get any closer than this. One less yard on the books for Schoolya’gain, or one more yard for any one of Packer Cave’s staff, and this is not possible. Plus or minus a single yard (0.1 points) from any player on either roster and this doesn’t apply. What if Gilchrist covered an inch tighter on the previous play and intercepted that pass by Luck? That’s this game – a game of inches.
