Putting Hasty in for Williams in the red zone is what cost us this game

That and the play calling the last 3 quarters. How can you not take advantage of Ish this game?

There are really only two options:

1.) Seth Russell cannot complete a pass and should not be starting
2.) KB threw that game away on purpose.

Don't see how Baylor wins more than 2 games. Texas defense is ****ing awful, and Baylor found a way to under perform.

It's a fix.

Play calling inside the red zone.
Play calling not throwing downfield when that's Baylor's greatest strength and Texas's greatest weakness. They have 4 losses because their opponents took advantage. We didn't. How can you explain that?

It's a fix.

At the game. Seth didn't look comfortable at any point. Play calling at the end was legit awful.

Playcalling was awful the entire game. Seth bailed us out with his legs, but I have no clue why he seems to have forgotten to throw the deep ball unless he's lost touch due to his surgery last year.

Seth's passes for the most part haven't looked good all year. Is he having lingering effects from the neck injury?

I'm starting to think it has to be related. He was great last year and has really struggled this year.
