Can those who understand targeting more than me explain how that wasn't leading with the helmet on the Utah hit, or is that not in the definition any longer?


This.

He wasn't defenseless..just like our guy who knocked out their punt returner...both had become runners.

Our defensive line is night and day from last week. What the hell happened?

He made a football move after the catch, therefore no longer "defenseless" and we didn't hit using the crown of the helmet
WE ARE GOING TO WIN

If he had become a runner it would have been a fumble, no?
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

I mean, it was a helmet-to-helmet hit, but ok

That's a very good question..not sure if the definition of runner means you have control of ball vs if you're juggling it

That was one hell of a defensive half. The offense played well, too. Just need to do a better job of finishing drives.

Can't believe we're going into halftime with the lead. I also can't believe we could easily be up 20-3.
historian

He wasn't bobbling the ball. I think the ruling was based upon him not having the ball long enough to establish. But I'm just guessing.

More importantly, we go to halftime with 1 10-3 lead!!

SIC 'EM BEARS!!

Beautiful play call by Grimes there. Great execution by the O line and Robertson!
Grimes has called an excellent game today. He's basically built an entirely new offense for Robertson.

Contrary to popular opinion here, he's a really good OC.


His results would say otherwise. But yes was a good half for him hugely benefitted by an interception putting us in the RZ

It's hot. FYI.

Also this is why you don't turn the offense over to Blake Shapin. This kid is taking care of it on a big stage. Keep it up.

Last week was a swift gut check of the highest order. Every player after that performance has to question/evaluate their own effort/want to/heart/desire. It appears that to a man the response has been all we would hope for. Maybe it happening so early actually jump starts these guys playing together as a team.
WE ARE GOING TO WIN

Yes, since it was ruled incomplete, that means he was not a runner. Thus, the helmet hit warrants penalty.

We gave up 28 points to Texas State in the 1st half last week.

I don't know where Utah is located but foshooooo the big 12 don't run through there. Wow they talked so much and rolled out that trash. Hilarious

Stands are emptying at halftime as if they had suspended the game for lightning.

Probably going to the concourse for heat relief.

Is the sparse crowd on the west side due at least in part to people watching from the concourse because of the heat?

This makes everyone feel better but it still pisses me off because we had no business playing so bad against Texas State. It also shows utah is terrible at offense

Yep. I'm in 108 and count 30 people still in their seats in the entire section.

Let's see if we continue to improve or watch yet another team adjust while we do not.
