Our team defense improved the second Bonner hit the floor. Correlation doesn't equal causation, but he's by far our hardest-working defensive guard.

The promising thing on the defensive side is that we're not allowing Allen to bully us inside the way he did in Austin.

Very odd. Rarely ever called in the college game any more.

That was a really tough pass by Flag. You have to know your teammates.

I will go to my grave wishing Flo had stronger hands.

Flo doesn't have a tight end role in his future.

Thamba and bridges bringing effort.

Horns last scored at the 9:21 mark.

The rest of the team.. watch Bridges and Bonner. Sliding feet, using body to move the offensive guy, and solid contests. Good use of hands as well.

Now if Bonner could hit a 3 and didn't bog down that last possession we could manage. Your time to make something happen today.

LOL at the people who thought Ferrell would be overrun with Horns fans.
Quinton

If Bonner is in, we need to play him strictly as a very small version of a 3&D guy. Float on the perimeter and be ready to knock down a shot. We can't have these last few possessions. If the lane is completely clear take it but no mistakes.

His defense always been good. His offense. Not so much

We already have 11 TOs, but we're tied. That's pretty amazing.

My wife said it was probably the woman ref because gals are more by the book. Again, my wife said that, so gals on this site don't need to flame me.

I like were showing a little edge and chippiness.

I wish Bonner could score just a little. He's a difference-maker on defense. He's just so limited on the other end.
