The Crimson pass defense in Saturday's game was porous at best, and Pennington's pinpoint possing devastated the belly of the zone with slant patterns and clothes.

As a result, runways are overcrowded on the ground, air lanes are jammed aloft. Particularly near airports, spacing between aircraft is often so hard to control that near-misses are dangerously familiar...
