Hart ready when needed

Phil B looks at the #3 RB

Yet there he was, on the field in the second quarter of Super Bowl XLIV, getting two carries in the final minute of a key sequence. On first-and-10 from the 1, Hart bulled his way for 4 yards. On third-and-1 from the 10, he was stuffed for no gain. New Orleans called a timeout and got the ball back with enough time to kick a field goal and close a halftime deficit to 10-6.Many wonder if the Saints would have tried a daring onside kick to open the second half without that field goal. What if Hart had gained that 1 yard for a first down and the Colts had run out the clock?
