I really wish the first question on the Big12 referee application was “do you actually know the rules of the game?” That would be refreshing.

Campbell has raised our expectations to a different level.

All he needed was an average offense and they would have won so many more games. The amount of close loses because of the offense and Purdy's interception on the winning drive was insane.

It is way easier to play offense in the BIG 12 vs defense.

Offense just needs to score 4 touchdowns to go along with a second half defense shutout to win the game. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Raised our expectations to have an offense and STs that are better than his predecessor? I don’t disagree on expectations but I don’t understand your thinking. Campbell has regressed to worse than CPR.

We don't deserve to be in this game in the slightest but that was utter BS that we weren't allowed to sub. Last week against Tech they stood over the ball for a good 5 seconds then let Tech waltz on the field. Just now they didn't even give us a half second. Inconsistent officiating is staple of the Big 12.

Honestly though, it offsets against the bad call to not give them a TD in the first place on review.

Two easy Td's because special teams gave them a short field. This defense has been playing their arses off all year so I wouldn't blame them for just giving up at this point.

I've never been one to be critical of Campbell but hes officially gaslighting this fanbase with his "winning in the margins" scam. I watch alot of other games and I'm hard pressed to find teams this bad at winning in the margins and doing little things to win football games.
