S. Carolina 21 - 11 Alabama (14:49 left in 3d Quarter)

Steve Garcia, the South Carolina quarterback, has been tremendous. He is 9/9 for 94 yards and three touchdowns. But he just made one of the dumbest plays I have ever seen. On first down, Garcia is in the shotgun and gets a bad snap. He picks up the ball on the three-yard line and throws it out the back of the end zone for a safety. He could have fallen on the ball. He could have thrown an incomplete pass. He could have committed intentional grounding. Nothing would have been such a disaster. Alabama gets two points and the ball.
