Coaches always say they remember the losses more than the wins. So we decided to ask coaches about the worst losses of their careers. (Sorry, guys.) Not surprisingly, most instantly had one that stood out and they could recall with precise detail what went wrong. Some were years ago at lower-level schools, while in the case of Clemsons Dabo Swinney, it was the most recent game he played.Heres a sampling of the worst losses from Power 5 coaches careers:Gus Malzahn, Auburn:?Two HS state championships + Florida State 34, Auburn 31, 2014 The worst coaching loss of my career, theres a couple that stand out -- two when I was in high school. Our two state championship games we lost, one was in double overtime. The other one was at the very end, and then probably the Florida State game from 2013. Those three really stick with me. I think about those once a week. One, 1994, that was the first place I coached, and we lost 17-13 at the very end. The other one, when Rhett Lashlee was my quarterback and we lost in double overtime to a team that we probably shouldve beat. And of course the Florida State (national championship) game when they threw a touchdown toward the very end. Those were the three. It motivates you. The only time I think about the championship (we won) is when somebody brings it up, but once a week I think about [those losses] and it just motivates you as a coach.David Cutcliffe, Duke: Miami 30, Duke 27, 2015 Miami, 2015. Our team did an incredible job of getting a win and then Ive never experienced anything like that. Hopefully never will again. Thats without a doubt, no hesitation. Theres not a close second.Bobby Petrino, Louisville:?Rutgers 28, Louisville 25, 2006 Rutgers, 2006. We win that game, we have an opportunity to probably play for the national championship. We were in control of the game and they came back in the second half. They kicked a last-second field goal, which he missed. We jumped offsides. They got to kick it again. It was one of those things that was devastating to our team at the time, but very proud about how we came back and didnt lose another game that year.Dave Clawson, Wake Forest: Youngstown State 37, Villanova 34, 1997 1997, Villanova. We were 12-0 and the No. 1 team in the country and we played Youngstown State that year in the second round of the playoffs. We had a punt blocked. We got sacked and they picked it up and returned it for a touchdown and we lost a heartbreaking game to Youngstown, who went on to win a national championship. Even 20 years later, that one still stings. That was probably a team that was good enough to win a national championship and we beat ourselves against a very well-coached team.Dabo Swinney, Clemson: Alabama 45, Clemson 40, 2016 January 11. That one is still with me.Mark Richt, Miami: Oklahoma 13, Florida State 2, 2001 The last game I coached at Florida State as the offensive coordinator playing in the national championship game against Oklahoma. We scored a whopping zero points. Our defense scored two. I didnt coach well. We didnt play well. It was a chance to be right there to win a third national championship for Coach Bowden. In the last game there it would have been a nice way to finish.Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech:?Southern Miss 49, Houston 28, 2011 I was at the University of Houston in 2011, we were 12-0, we were going to go to the Sugar Bowl and we lost in the Conference USA championship game at home to Southern Miss. We were really good. We shouldve went undefeated and we kinda choked. That one still haunts me, yeah.Bill Snyder, Kansas State: Texas A&M 36, Kansas State 33, 1998 You have enough losses that all of them are painful. My guesstimate right now without thinking about it is probably the conference championship game in the 98 season ... where we were the No. 1 team in the nation and played in the conference championship game, had a 16-point lead or something like that going into the fourth quarter and lost the ballgame. That was pretty disappointing.Kirby Smart, Georgia: Auburn 10, LSU 9, 2004 Its hard because you remember the losses so vividly. I guess from being at Alabama for nine years, you certainly remember a lot of the losses, but I guess that being my first year as a full-time SEC coach (at LSU). So I go from being a GA to being a -- because they had just won the national title, so my expectation was were going to win another one at LSU. We had a lot of the players back, and this first really, really big game, in Jordan-Hare, and we had the game won. Everything had to happen exactly right for [Auburn] to win and there was like four or five plays in a row that were really crazy freaky plays. If that game comes back up on ESPN Classic, Ill see it, and Im like, That is amazing that those four things happened for the outcome to be what it did. They went on to an undefeated season. I guess if they had lost four or five games it wouldnt have been as big of a loss, but its a fact that they went on to win them all. Ill be honest with you, when I say it haunts me, its one of the ones that sticks out the most, because I thought we couldve won it.?As told to Heather Dinich and Jared Shanker Cheap Air Max 90 Free Shipping .

EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Columbus Blue Jackets started slowly. The way they finished was all that mattered, though.Sam Gagner had a goal and an assist, and the streaking Blue Jackets won their seventh straight game by beating the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 on Tuesday night.I thought the team took a little while to get going. But once we started playing, I thought we had a good second half of the game, Gagner said. I think were on a good run here and we want to keep pushing forward.Cam Atkinson and Matt Calvert also scored to help the Blue Jackets (18-5-4) improve to 8-0-1 in their last nine games.Tyler Pitlick had the goal for the Oilers (15-12-5), who have lost five of six.The Oilers got a 4-minute power play to start the second period on a mistaken call after Edmonton forward Milan Lucic accidentally caught teammate Connor McDavid in the face with his stick.Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 33 saves, squashed Edmontons opportunity to take a two-goal lead, and Columbus went on to score three consecutive goals.You do get some momentum from killing it, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. I dont think we panicked. I didnt think we competed that hard in the first period, but then we found ourselves.It was Edmontons 32nd game of the season compared to 27 for Columbus, but Lucic said fatigue wasnt a valid excuse.We had more than enough rest over the last two days to be ready for this one, he said. We had the energy we wanted in the first period, but we just couldnt sustain it. We just didnt keep it going for 60 minutes and thats a big reason we lost.Edmonton got on the scoreboard first, just past the midpoint of the opening period as a hard-charging Pitlick got to a rebound in the blue paint and chipped it over Bobrovsky..dddddddddddd.The Oilers appeared to add another with 4 minutes left in the first, but officials determined forward Zack Kassian interfered with the goalie on the play.Columbus tied the game on a power play 8 minutes into the second period when Gagner came back to hurt his old team. The puck went off the toe of his skate and past Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot for Gagners fourth goal in the last four games and 12th of the season.The Blue Jackets made it 2-1 at 7:10 of the third as a pass deflected to Atkinson and he hammered his 11th of the season past Talbot.Columbus added to its lead 1:36 later when Calvert took advantage of a sloppy Oilers line change and rifled a shot off Talbots arm and into the net.The Blue Jackets completely took over in the third and were outshooting Edmonton 12-0 midway through the period.Coming from behind on a team like that, a lot of teams in the league havent been able to do that. And you can put us on the list as well, Oilers coach Todd McLellan said.Game notes It was the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The other one is Jan. 3 in Columbus. ...
