***? That is absolute BS. Everyone in the stadium knew it was BS.

Did OTL take over the replay booth? First Seth, now this? Impossible. Run the punt back.

They won't call holding on the Texas OL, they have a blatant targeting that they rescues to call and now that?! Suspicious.

Reid needs to quit trying to get a penalty, and fight off the block and help tackle.

Can't give up the big play right now.

There is zero reason Hasty should be in there coming off a timeout unless TWill is hurt. Stupid decision that cost us points.

Went back and slow-mo the fumble there and Travon almost had it. His knee just hit before the ball came out.

We've got to go down and put 6 on the board. Defense has picked up this half and offense just can't get out of their own way today.

Defense coming up huge since the first few minutes of this game. Offense needs to put this away and get us up 2 scores. Buechelle won't lead them back
riflebear

Where is ISH? I can't believe he hasn't seen the ball in what seems like an entire half. We should find ways to get him the ball against this defense.
