Jesus Seth. He moves WAY before he ever has to. Super clean pocket yo wait or climb up it, instead he bails sideways into a sack.

Baylor isn't going to win this game if Seth is going to keep playing this badly.

Did McShay just grunt about Texas missing a play?


These announcers are not even hiding the fact they're cheering for Charlie and the donghorns

If Zamora's elbow wasn't down on our TD, that knee certainly isn't down.

Lol- this is clearly a fumble. These announcers are jokers.

Need a damn drive. Russell has been awful in this one since the 2nd quarter.
DukeNukem

The fix is in y'all . While an obvious hold these refs tried like hell to take a fumble away from Baylor.

We are playing like absolute ***** The play calling after the first two drives has been horrid, the execution has been worse.

Ain't trying to hate but Seth is trash right now. Complete trash. Horrendous pocket presence, terrible accuracy, bad reads on the veer.

Come on Seth. We need you to be waaayyyy better.

Texas OL is grabbing our guys on every play and we've yet to get a call. I did think Zamora was down and we got that call but if they don't start calling holds it's going to be very difficult for our defense to keep getting stops.

Another 3rd and long

They got away with that fumble.

No such thing as a Texas fumble I guess. Complete unbelievable call. I'm speechless

****ing tackle! Travon forgot to show up today. The rest of the defense apparently did too. We're making a **** Texas team look good.

I think we all knew this team was not a top 10 team. Texas is not that great. Get a TD here and eat some clock and go to half down 2.
