I dunno, Texas seemed stout on both lines and that new freshman QB looked great. I could see them making some noise in the Big 12.
But yes, that was a quite enjoyable game, and now 3 of the top 10 teams have lost, with another needing OT to put away a G5 team. I wonder when we last saw carnage like this...
The Cal transfer out to be able to come back by our game since he seemed like he just got his bell rung, and oddly college has fewer rules about that than the NFL. But still, I'd hope our OL is better than Texas's and they were opening enormous holes.
Also, on the chop block, the replay made it look like he tried to go low but didn't actually make contact, though I guess the back judge would have a hard time seeing that. Dumb, dumb penalty at about the worst possible time, though it ended up working out fine.
