They can't see targeting but they can sure find those holding calls

They probably didn't call the target as they owed one to SMU for that ref tripping the QB...stuff like that happens and, lets be honest, that cost them points on their drive bc we all know Baylor wasn't going to stop them.

You have to be around the football to force a turnover.

Jennings is explosive, but he's really erratic.

He giveth and taketh away.

He's been pretty damn bad this second half so far.

3 defenders hit Cameron before the ball. Not all of them were blocked into him.

Great defense there. Good coverage, and when Jennings broke the pocket, the QB spy flew in and made the sack.

Score a TD now, Bears!

How was that not interference no matter the fair catch, if he was hit without giving him room to catch it?

We are so fortunate to not have a coach who loses his lid over this rather stays in more important, calm, rational thinking
