What was Tampa supposed to do on that play exactly?

What is up with everyone bagging on Rocco? He threw one bad pass, and the INT was bad but definitely Noel’s fault.
Honestly as poorly as he’s played I see very little comment on him at all.

The end to that half gave me strong 2006 Iowa game vibes. Knew exactly what was going to happen when McCarney threw away the last drive of the first half. Not good.

It reminds me of plenty of times we've given up a drive to end the half and gone on to win!

Iowa State up 17-6 at half and get the ball to start the second half. I’d take that every time for a big 12 road game
99.9% of the time I would agree.

This is a case though where they were DEAD. And we , at least momentarily, gave them life. That's a dangerous thing to do in sports.

Will it cost us? I don't know. But its dangerous to let someone who you've been dominating up off the ground and give them a sliver of hope, which is what they have now. If we go 3 and out turn it over quick, that hope grows.

We need a great first 5 minutes

For sure! Btu it isn't a tragedy. If we lose, it won't be because of the end of the half. It'll be because Baylor plays much better than we do in the 2nd half.
