He hit him w/ the crown of the helmet - WTH are they watching, he tucked his head and hit him straight on w/ a forearm to the throat. If that wasn't intent I don't know what is.

Baylor Nation takes a collective sigh of relief. Now, we need defense to show up and quit worrying about breaking a nail or messing up their polish.

Finally Seth tucks it. More of that please, it's been there all day.

Why do they keep allowing these TX guys to land on Seth when he slides? It's a bang bang play but if the refs aren't calling it they'll keep doing it and push it until he gets hurt.

Well done Callahan. Miss that and I don't think he has a seat on the bus. Sad we had the penalty and bad play calling when we could have gone up 2 scores.

I called Travon out earlier for missing some tackles early, but that was a big play made by him there! Good lord on the number of replays in this game!
