Let them score and go for the game winner. Assuming you actually stop the 2 point conversion

Come on D!! Get a stop here when it matters most

Can't do it. Can't ever do it.

Fortunately, there's enough time today for us to have the ball last because that's the only way we're winning today.

Announcer talking about Avery: "Quite possibly the best performance he has had all season"

Thats just what our defense does folks...we make every QB look like the next Heisman.

Plenty of reasons for a mass firing. Send the President back to Stoolwater, even.

I think you have to try to hold them to three. There's plenty of time for a field goal drive if you can force a field goal yourself.

Just enough hope to keep us in our seats. Just enough wins to keep us buying tickets. Baylor has no plan or intent to win. Just a plan to do just enough.

Powledge will get Aranda fired. If he doesn't he will if Powledge isn't fired after this season.

He should have called a TO before the 2 minute. Dave isn't analytically smart as they've tried to sell

Powledge is the DC in name only. This is Aranda's defense ... and it sucks.

I don't get that. Why save them for when you have the ball and actually can stop the clock in a variety of ways. Makes more sense to use them on defense doesn't it?

How does Keaton Thomas lead the Big 12 in tackling when our defense doesn't tackle anyone?

That corner was in man coverage with no help over the top. That's a terrible defensive scheme to run in this game situation. That's on the coach.

Normally 100%. But tough call as they're likely to waste a minute trying and then they score anyway. No good choices with Dave's defense
