What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYahoo Sports says San Diego State beat Fresno State twenty-six to twenty-three and kept the Old Oil Can, with freshman Stone Saunders back from a broken collarbone.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, Nina, give me one hot take each.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe winning drive was ten plays, forty yards, three minutes thirty-eight seconds. That's a video that says it's two minutes and runs eleven.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody finishes it, everyone comments.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNOT. Kenji, that is an observation about the internet, not about football. Cold take.

  6. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentForty yards is four first downs of ten.

  7. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAt three thirty-eight, that's about one yard every five seconds, which is a brisk walk for a man with a rebuilt collarbone. It's a stroll with a helmet.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHOT. The math is clean and the contempt is exact.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIs it, though?

  10. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI keep a list, Kenji. Don't make me add this.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy final take. Forty yards in three thirty-eight is the greatest drive in college football history, and I once waited longer than that for a smoothie.
