I know there was a thread but last I checked there wasn't a clear answer: The penalty on the kick return that was on sips then "clarified" to be on us (which the drive resulted in a TD)

The first int Reed threw felt like a copy paste of at least two others he threw this season. Watching Film Guy, he went into it, and criticized Klein of putting Reed in high-pressure, "developmental" situations. Was that the case again here? I know everybody is critical of Klein, for good reason. I'm only curious about that particular play.

Why was Howell not able to get home? It felt like against other teams: Auburn and, more recently Mizzou, they/he adjusted his attack (edge - middle) to get penetration. I don't have the awareness to absorb it mid-play.

I guess my questions are trying to get to specifics of what went wrong rather than the blanket El&co. **** the bed.

I'm trying to learn more about ball so I'm taking your question as a response to mine means I asked pretty stupid questions

There are no dumb questions just dumb answers.

Howell was totally neutralized

I remember that and was curious the difference when our o line got the penalty for shoving down a d lineman in a recent game.

He pushed him to the ground and held him there on multiple plays on that video. We were called for holding on some big plays this year for similar actions (ours were less egregious).

(I didn't see your comment. But I agree . . . Obviously)

Nah, I ask all kinds of stupid questions. Have to keep a sense of humor around here.

But seriously, who was he yelling at? A Texas SID intern? Media reps that walked in late? Some event staff putz?

Go look at stewart mandel's X post…he claims he's the last one to come in and get the reaction as place was hard to find and cramped.

You didn't say you wanted to know Sydney Sweeneys phone number. Maybe you are gay?

you really think there was holding on any of those plays? You can fall on a guy after blocking him.

Touching a defender who has fallen on the ground with or without prior contact has been called a hold against us all year.

Still waiting for clarification on that illegal blocking on the kicking team.

Not blaming the refs for the L, but that does need to be clarified.

I don't think so. I remember one call where it appeared our OL (don't remember who) pulled the opposing DL down and then fell on him. You can push a guy down but you can't pull them down.
