That's why the field goal was mute. Could've been up by 12

A pick would be nice.

Why Phil? Why? Texas hasn't shown they can drive the ball downfield this entire half, why give them even the chance for a big play?

Oh well

Field goals are deceptive. They lose games
lancebu

We deserve to lose this game, we've missed every opportunity to put it away. Unreal.
riflebear

That's exactly what we should have been doing in the redzone. Or a screen pass to our RB. Gilbert out coaching KB on that drive in a big way. This game should have been over already.

2 trips inside their 10 and 3 points
Now they are going to tie the game
God I hope our O can take it down and score

Kendal hasn't called a good game at all. Russell has bailed him and the team today.

Good job Baylor - out of a timeout.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Gotta play smarter than that.

I'm glad they blew the whistle, looked like he scored after the whistle.

Need a TD now; let's go Bears

I don't think I've seen so many mental mistakes by one team in a single game ever.

Let's drive down their friggn throats and score

Is it legal for TX to try and pull our player back into the end zone by wrapping both hands around him? Haven't seen that before.

Seth is jacked up. Offense needs to stay calm now. I just hope we don't go conservative and run it up the middle 3 plays in the row when they know that's coming.
riflebear

Are we trying to lose this game w/ stupid penalties.
Bruingirl

Jeebus with the substitution infractions! Are we just not thinking?
riflebear

Beautiful throw & catch. Huge. Thank you for not going conservative.

Our cannon > theirs.

The cushion on KD is over 10 yds. Throw it to him.
riflebear

I'd throw a quick pass to Ish w/ a 7yd cushion. He is quick enough to make the defender miss or at least gain 5yds.
Kako

***!

Bounce someone outside please. We're so predictable on long yardage plays up the middle.

Where is the screen pass today? We're making it easy for their defense.

Need a special play here (in a good way)
lancebu

Kendal's stupid play calling is going to cost us this game. Horrible game called by him. How do you not exploit Texas' weak secondary?
riflebear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
IF we don't get this, punt it. Don't even try to go 4th & long.
Kako

35-34 Texas
Stupid play calling
