Every freaking year the refs allow Texas DBs to grab our WRs all the way down the field and never call it.

Of all the ways this season could come apart, Seth Russell playing worse than Greg Cicero honestly never entered my mind.

I don't think Bonney grabbed him much, just a bad throw by Seth. gotta lead him more on the inside. he was open. the stupid OL downfield penalty was the killer

Bad spot. Didn't get it but wasn't over a yard short.

KB needs to get his head out of his ass. Texas has been torched downfield all year and we're running the same running play over and over.

Even the craptastic announcers can't figure out why we aren't throwing deep.

Finally! They cannot cover KD without holding him, we should be going to him every 2-3 plays.

I'm not sure we could play much worse in any phase of the game so to only be down 2 is a positive I guess.

I say Baylor needs to be +2 in turnovers in 2nd half.
