not in love with 3 straight incomplete passes there.
but got some points. touchdown would have probably sealed it.

now, lets at least make Baylor work for points. as in if they are going to score, make them use 5+ mins. they only have 1 TO left

I love Rocco as a leader and as a person and as a steady presence. He is clearly better for the team than Dekkers ever could be.

Not his best game accuracy wise but at least we can see the team improve rather than quit on the team.

The coaching staff crapped their pants under pressure. They must not have confidence in the team to execute at the goal line.

3 passes there? WTF? A field goal makes it a two TD game. 3 runs and bleed that clock. Really doesn't matter if you get in the end zone there or not.
Well… a touchdown puts you up 16, possibly 17. So it does matter. But 12 is better than 9.

Game is definitely way closer than it should be, but if you would have told me we would be in this position before the game started I would be ecstatic. We are still kicking their butts for the most part.

The way our run game has been going today, yeah it makes no sense we just didn’t just keep going with it.

Not a good game for Rocco.

Quite frankly, considering the weather I haven’t had an issue with his play. With the way that Baylor struggled to hold onto the ball early, he’s avoided all but the one big mistake and that was probably on Noel anyways.

I have zero problem with the play calling. Would have liked to see this type of calling against Iowa and Ohio.

The young players can't learn from mistakes if coach is too scared to make them. Starting with OU....things have been much better because I would rather see them try to win....than trying not to lose.

3 incomplete passes in a row there was not what the doctor called for.

This game should never have come down to this. Hope the defense can come up with something here.
Especially with their time out situation. 8 minutes vs 6 minutes to score twice is a way different scenario.

Purchase with a good form tackle! Glad he decided he could tackle someone.

Heacock has ****** up this entire half byvnot bringing more pressure. Shapen can find guys when we give him the time.
