Stumbled across this. Pretty cool read. Teryl Austin coached in the NFL (DB coach for Seattle & Arizona) for 6 years before becoming UF's D-Coord. this season.

Oh Notre Dame.....how bad will we get our asses kicked this week? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT!

[DaKCMan AP]

Don't agree with this 100%.

Living in the moment: Gators-Tide has no rival in sports

By Dennis Dodd
CBSSports.com Senior Writer
Sep. 30, 2010

Let's redefine the term rivalry. Let's say the "rules" don't apply.

You don't have to meet 18 times a year. In fact, eliminate baseball from the discussion altogether. Even the Red Sox and Yankees have to get sick of seeing each other.

The rivalry can't be sponsored, not by a company, or a bank, or a network. It just has to be. Organic. Real. Played out in the stands, not the board room. "Dr. Pepper presents ..." is not a proper rivalry.

There has to be a recent history, no dog-eared stories involving Babe Ruth, Bobby Riggs or Wilt Chamberlain.

There has to be something at stake. Something besides a wild-card berth or home-field advantage. The Dodgers and Giants can play all they want. Mix in a championship now and then.

Oh, and Don Criqui cannot be involved. Ever. Just a personal preference.

Let's call a rivalry what it is supposed to be -- significant, bitter and compelling. And in the moment. That's where this argument will jump off the tracks for some of you. Florida-Alabama is not only is the best rivalry in college football, it's the best rivalry in sports.

Right now.

In a society where you're only as good as your next tweet, that's all that counts -- what have you won for me lately? As hateful at Alabama-Auburn has been it's hard to find an Iron Bowl in recent years where both teams have been ranked. Miami doesn't play Florida again until 2013. I'll take your arguments about Tennessee-Georgia, Michigan-Ohio State and UCLA-Southern California. I'll also ask what happened to Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan and UCLA. Recently.

Recently, the winner of Florida-Alabama has won the past two national championships -- the Gators in 2008, the Tide in 2009, both after first beating the other in the SEC title game.

Recently, the game has featured perhaps the most compelling figure in the sport's history. You might have heard of him. His name rhymes with Jim Zebow.

Recently, the game has featured a pair of Heisman winners -- that Mr. Zebow and Alabama's Mark Ingram.

Game of the weekend? It's not even close. You can have Stanford-Oregon and Texas-Oklahoma. I'll take Florida and Alabama against the field to still be standing the first week of December.

If you have to ask about the atmosphere Saturday at Bryant-Denny then you don't have sensory organs or a sense for what the matchup means.

There isn't a game to be played Saturday, or all season for that matter, with two bigger rock-star coaches. The combined salaries of Urban Meyer and Nick Saban could get them office space in Dubai. Maybe, but that's not the point. Their combined national championships (two each) might assure them space in the College Football Hall of Fame long before their careers are over. Saban is getting a statue near Bryant-Denny. Meyer is getting well after an offseason of turmoil. Saban starred in his own movie. Meyer stared at his own mortality.

And they keep on winning. They used to call it the SEC. Now they call it the Gator/Tide Invitational.

Saban still kicks himself for blowing a chance to form a dynamic Wonder Twins partnership. As a young coach, Meyer called about a job after Saban had become coach at Toledo in 1990.

"I really kind of messed that one up," Saban admitted this week. "He called my house and talked to [wife] Terry. Terry really interviewed him. She told me when I came home that night, 'This really interesting guy called, sounded like a top-notch [guy], articulate.' She said, 'You really need to talk this guy.' That was obviously one of the biggest mistakes I ever made."

The Dolphins will argue, but that's another story. It has been a long, wonderful trip from NFL dalliance to college dominance. The build-up is clear for, if not exactly the game of the century, the rivalry of the moment. Saturday's game in Tuscaloosa will settle, for now, who is the alpha dog in the SEC and, as history suggests, in the country. No. 1 Alabama hasn't lost a regular-season game since 2007. No. 7 Florida has lost once. That brings up the unlikely significance of Mississippi and Utah in this game. Aside from Florida and Alabama beating each other, those are the only two teams to defeat the Gators (Ole Miss) and 'Bama (Utes) at all in the past 33 months.

How's that for recently?

Sometimes absence makes the heart grow more bitter. Florida and Alabama haven't met in the regular season since 2006. Because they play in different divisions, the rivals are scheduled to meet only four times every 10 years. The SEC championship game, then, has been the only place to reflect their ascension recently to arguably the two best programs in the country.

The best thing about Saturday is that it could be a prelude. Each can afford to lose the game and still meet again for a third consecutive year in December's SEC title game. Playoff honks pay attention. The past two meetings have been de facto national semifinals for the BCS championship game.

The last meeting, 10 months ago, brought Tim Tebow (his real name) to tears after Florida's loss. Make fun if you want. There aren't many rivalries outside the Little League World Series where the loser cries.

"This is revenge," Florida safety Ahmad Black said.

Which is what Alabama got in December for Florida's 31-20 '08 win in Atlanta.

Meyer, of course, says it's not about revenge. It's about hope. Florida didn't look like it had much going into this game until freshman Trey Burton went for six touchdowns against Kentucky. Suddenly there was something to build on from an uncertain September. Burton is probably the least likely member of the 2010 recruiting class to pull off such a thing. Against Kentucky, he played quarterback, fullback, tight end and receiver.

That made him a throwback. To last year. Florida hopes to redefine a rivalry with Burton, who plays like Tebow, only without the tears.

I dont really see any way Florida wins this game. Stanford vs UO seems like a closer game.

[DaKCMan AP]

Kind of like most people on here thought Arky had no shot at beating Bama? Don't get me wrong, I love it when Florida is the underdog.

Also, hope Stanford pulls off the win but Oregon's O is crazy.

[Titty Meat]

Wow Oklahoma State is ranked?

[ChiefGator]

I dont really see any way Florida wins this game. Stanford vs UO seems like a closer game.

Before last weekend I agreed with you. But there are ALOT of high recruits on this UF team, and they are finally starting to play with a little cohesion.

We should take bets on how many bad snaps there are though.. Grr....

Yeah, the Kentucky game was a blast. I've been to all 4 games to start the season and it was the first time we looked like a top-10 team. They also started utilizing some of the players properly (i.e. Debose) and getting creative and unpredictable with the play calling, also a first for this year. Hopefully the momentum continues to build.

[kepp]

Wow Oklahoma State is ranked?

You think nebraska is the only one who should be ranked after beating 4 cupcakes? :p

[Titty Meat]

You think nebraska is the only one who should be ranked after beating 4 cupcakes? :p

Ha no I just thought OSU would be bad this year and after looking at the schedule they could be ranked pretty high when Nebraska plays them.

[DaKCMan AP]

Game just started and during the kickoff an OSU fan was shown shaking keys. Why would he do that at the beginning of the game? :shrug:

[AndChiefs]

Go A&M!

[AndChiefs]

Great start....

[The Franchise]

I know at the UofA....they do that before and during the kickoff.

[DaKCMan AP]

Oh, ok. At Florida people do it towards the end of a game either a) when up by a big lead that won't be surmounted or b) when the game is essentially over. The intent is to tell the visiting team fans to 'get out their keys and go home'.

[AndChiefs]

That's what it means most places.

[58-4ever]

This OSU QB is such a pussy.

[DaKCMan AP]

A&M strikes first

[AndChiefs]

Woo!!!

[AndChiefs]

Excellent first quarter so far.

[DaKCMan AP]

Huge 4th down stop & INT for A&M.

[58-4ever]

This OSU QB is such a pussy.

Told ya.

[WilliamTheIrish]

At KSU in the mid 90's the fans jangled keys before the opening and 2nd half KO's. Was pretty cool hearing that. Remember well when USC came to Manhattan. Their fans loved it.

[BWillie]

I hope Mich. State puts the hurtin' on Wisconsin.

[AndChiefs]

Excellent defensive half for A&M.

[DaKCMan AP]

A&M will continue to get better. Mike Sherman is a good coach.

[AndChiefs]

A&M will continue to get better. Mike Sherman is a good coach.

DeRuyter has something to do with it I believe as well.

[keg in kc]

Looked like a dog of a game when I turned it on, what a difference a few minutes makes.

[Saulbadguy]

At KSU in the mid 90's the fans jangled keys before the opening and 2nd half KO's. Was pretty cool hearing that. Remember well when USC came to Manhattan. Their fans loved it.

They still do this.

[Saulbadguy]

A&M is going to lose by 3 touchdowns.

[Al Bundy]

WTF kind of throw was that by Johnson?

[Al Bundy]

Touchdown Oklahoma State!

[AndChiefs]

Just falling apart out there.

[keg in kc]

This is one of the worst QB performances I've seen all year.

[Reerun_KC]

Game over...

[DaKCMan AP]

TD A&M... 7 point game.

[DaKCMan AP]

[DaKCMan AP]

Huge play.. A&M down to the OSU 30.

[DaKCMan AP]

TD A&M

[DaKCMan AP]

BUT... 3mins left may be too much time for OSU.

[DaKCMan AP]

A&M 35
OSU 35

2:54 left

[Al Bundy]

Weeden chock job right there.... unless he has a big touchdown drive here.

[DaKCMan AP]

OSU will start from their own 10

[DaKCMan AP]

A&M stops OSU.. will get the ball again

1:25 left

[Al Bundy]

Weeden made a horrible throw on third down, if he actually throw it where it belongs they are still going.

[DaKCMan AP]

OSU INT returned inside A&M's 40. 16secs left.

[DaKCMan AP]

OSU to the 31 with 10secs left.

[Al Bundy]

WTF was Johnson doing making that throw?

[DaKCMan AP]

OSU to try a 41yd FG for the win.

[DaKCMan AP]

OSU wins.

A&M 35
OSU 38

Final

[DaKCMan AP]

A&M is going to lose by 3 touchdowns.

:rolleyes:

[Al Bundy]

Well.. a kicker wins it. Ross Tucker is not happy.

[Hug it Out Dan]

Wow A&M sucked a hard one in the 2nd half.

[Saulbadguy]

:rolleyes:

Points. I meant points. ;)

[BWillie]

I'm thinking about losing some more money in sports betting on Bodog. I'm thinking about taking...

Northwestern to cover the (-6) against Minnesota.
Kansas to cover the (+9.5) against Baylor.
Washington St to cover the (+27.5) against UCLA.

What do you guys think? The Washington State game especially. I mean that is a crazy number I don't care how bad they beat Texas. But on the other hand, my god Wazzu is terrible.

[kstater]

What would make you take KU to cover on the road?

[boogblaster]

GO SOONERS

[Reaper16]

Are you coming to Tuscaloosa for the game, DaKCMan?

[DaKCMan AP]

Are you coming to Tuscaloosa for the game, DaKCMan?

No, I'll be in South Florida this weekend volunteering. First game this year I won't be in attendance.

[Al Bundy]

[Saul Good]

Those 9.5 points are going poof quickly.

[Reaper16]

I've got a ticket to the 'Bama vs Florida game but I wish I were in Maryville, MO for the Northwest Missouri vs Missouri Western game instead.

[Al Bundy]

Baylor is an awful team.. they are going to finish dead last in the Big 12 south.

[Saul Good]

KU just isn't very good this year

There's always next year. I'm sure you'll be good then.

[Priest31kc]

Illinois up 10-7 on Ohio St nearing half, Ohio St. in FG range tho.

[Priest31kc]

Ok, Ohio St back up 14-10, 45 sec. left in half.

[KCUnited]

KU playing tight.

[kstater]

KU playing tight.

Yeah, that's the problem.

[Al Bundy]

KU with a gift touchdown... phantom pass interference call that got them close. These two teams are beyond bad.

[SPchief]

the Baylor qb could watch a movie back there

[luv]

Ole Miss and Kentucky tied at 14. Ole Miss on first and goal if this catch isn't ruled incomplete. Looks like ground caused the fumble.

[kstater]

ROFL

[Al Bundy]

94 yard touchdown pass for Baylor

[kstater]

Baylor caught the D offguard with a screen there. They reallly hadn't run one all gam.e

:harumph:

[Al Bundy]

Tomahawk chop? lol he didn't even touch Webb, Webb flopped and was calling for the penalty before he even got up.

[kstater]

LMAO

[Al Bundy]

Fumble by KU. Karma for the Webb flop.

[kstater]

Baylor's gonna put up 400 yards of offense. In the first half.

[Frazod]

Baylor's gonna put up 400 yards of offense. In the first half.

They're just setting up a huge second half comeback! I'm really enjoying this game/Wickedson

[BWillie]

Annnnd Pryor goes down w/ some sort of knee or leg injury?

[Tactical Funky]

Man, this is the Murphy's Law game for KU. Typical young team shooting themselves in the feet on the road with turnovers and penalties in the red zone. I still say they win a couple more at home this season, but that's it; about what I expected after last year, but it still sucks.

[kstater]

TD Baylor

[beer bacon]

34-7... I thought KU had a chance in this game.

[Zaiko]

I knew they didn't.. Gill is not near the coach Mangino is, being "mean" to the players aside.

Plus, KU sucks, and Baylor is decent.

[KcMizzou]

INT LMAO

When all else fails, just chuck it up there.

[Frazod]

LMAO God Kansas sucks.

[Zaiko]

LMAO God Kansas sucks.

Coach Gill would not approve of you using 'God' so loosely. Have some respect for what the great Turner Gill thinks is best.

[Buehler445]

LMAO God Kansas sucks.

Embarrassing.

[Tactical Funky]

LMAO God Kansas sucks.

Of course we do; did you witness our epic slide last season? I don't know what people expected after losing three of our best playmakers in history and starting a redshirt freshman QB with an awful offensive line.

I have no idea if TG is our guy or not, but I'm at least willing to let him get his recruits in.

[BWillie]

Fuck you northwestern and ur turnovers in the redzone. You are gonna lose me 75 dollars

[Zaiko]

Of course we do; did you witness our epic slide last season?

Their record was not good last season, but they at least were competitive in a lot of those games.. and they still won 5 I think.

[KcMizzou]

Griffin 3 throws a TD after the ball was snapped over his head. LMAO

41-7 Baylor

[beer bacon]

And the slaughter continues.

[KcMizzou]

Pick 6!!!

48-7 Baylor

[kstater]

LMAO Awesome

[Tactical Funky]

Their record was not good last season, but they at least were competitive in a lot of those games.. and they still won 5 I think.

Yeah, but they sucked complete ass in conference. I suppose this was to be expected.

*EDIT* - Wow, I'm simply laughing at this point after that INT return for a TD. This is so incredibly, ridiculously bad.

[Priest31kc]

Wow. 48-7. LMAO

[Zaiko]

Yeah, but they sucked complete ass in conference. I suppose this was to be expected.

*EDIT* - Wow, I'm simply laughing at this point after that INT return for a TD. This is so incredibly, ridiculously bad.

Not complete ass man. They played okay and were in the games for several of them.

They weren't getting beat 48-7 to Baylor. Their worst loss was by like 30 at Texas..

[Tactical Funky]

Not complete ass man. They played okay and were in the games for several of them.

That's because we actually had some good players. We lost our best QB ever, our best WR ever, and one of our best RBs ever after last season.

[Frazod]

Embarrassing.

I really thought you'd turned the corner after that win against GT. Hard to believe this is the same group of players.

[Zaiko]

That's true.. I just think they're stupid for letting Mangino go and hope they lose em all.

But, I feel the same way about Tech too.

[Tactical Funky]

I really thought you'd turned the corner after that win against GT. Hard to believe this is the same group of players.

As bad as we're playing against Baylor, I don't think we're quite as bad as we look today. Might be an up-and-down season (or at least I hope so, because that would mean at least a couple more wins). Hell, I'll take one more win at this point...

[Tactical Funky]

That's true.. I just think they're stupid for letting Mangino go and hope they lose em all.

But, I feel the same way about Tech too.

We really had no choice on Mangino. We wouldn't have been able to recruit at all after that PR nightmare if he'd remained our coach.

[kstater]

Baylor just ticked across 600 yards in less than 3 quarters. Just wait until Gill gets his recruits in.

[kstater]

TD Baylor

55-7


Damn you Mangino

[Tactical Funky]

Baylor just ticked across 600 yards in less than 3 quarters. Just wait until Gill gets his recruits in.

Sounds fair to me.

Just think, had the players been allowed to see females in the evenings, it might be a blowout.

Just think, had the players been allowed to see females in the evenings, it might be a blowout.

You're a real bastard. But I like that. :evil:

Great news Hawk fans. KU starters are almost able to score against the Baylor backups.

[SPchief]

How in the **** is that a penalty? ****ing pillowbiters. :shake:

The refs might feel bad that they didn't get to talk to females after 10 last night so he threw the flag

[SPchief]

Great news Hawk fans. KU starters are almost able to score against the Baylor 3rd stringers.

fyp

[BWillie]

I don't understand how home field advantage is such a huge deal in college football, and well every sport. I played sports in high school, it didn't change the way I felt, played, or anything whenever we traveled somewhere else. Usually, it was the opposite. I felt more relaxed because less people I knew were watching. I don't get it. The field is the same regulation size. Nothing is different except the people in the stands. Gives credit to the stance that sports are a very psychological game.

[kstater]

Excellent D on that drive. Only gave up 70 yards and kneeldown(gamecast wasn't clear)? To a team you know is gonna run it on every play.

They copied the Chiefs defense of 2003-2009.

[Tactical Funky]

Welp, glad that's over. What a complete abortion of a game. Frustrating that KU had opportunities to NOT get blown away, but giving up that 94-yard TD just killed their spirit and it was like a boulder rolling downhill after that.

[Zaiko]

I don't understand how home field advantage is such a huge deal in college football, and well every sport. I play sports in high school, it didn't change the way I felt, played, or anything whenever we traveled somewhere else. I don't get it. The field is the same regulation size. Nothing is different except the people in the stands. Gives credit to the stance that sports are a very psychological game.

I don't know how much better they would have done in Lawrence.

[KChiefs1]

I never thought Baylor could whip out the can of whipass on anyone in the Big 12.

I stand corrected.

[BWillie]

I don't know how much better they would have done in Lawrence.

Not talking directly about the KU game, but just in general. Northwestern goes to Minnesota, barely eeks out a victory. If they play at Northwestern (which is an extremely docile place to play) the Wildcats probably win by at least 17. KU probably loses by about 3 TD's instead of 20 lol

[DaKCMan AP]

Go LSU and Go Texas.

and, of course, later on GO GATORS! and go Stanford!

I expected Texas to come out and make a statement against Oklahoma today, but the Sooners looked great on that opening drive.

Texas sucks. Mack Brown has no excuse for ever losing more than 3 games in a season with the talent they bring in.

Texas sucks. Mack Brown has no excuse for ever losing more than 3 games in a season with the talent they bring in.Had more to do with my thought that Oklahoma was overrated, although they looked really good against Florida State. Neither team's been as strong as their ranking so far this year...

[Bowser]

So are Nebraska fans actually pulling for Texas today?

[DaKCMan AP]

They're both overrated. OU played great against FSU while Texas hasn't look good in any game.

[Zaiko]

OU has looked rough in a couple, but they just blew FSU away, who has looked solid other than the thrashing OU gave em. I think they are definitely deserving of the 8 ranking.

[Zaiko]

So are Nebraska fans actually pulling for Texas today?

I doubt it. They probably want the Sooners to stay undefeated through conference play, so when they play in the B12 Championship, it'll help the winner a lot more.

[Bowser]

Sooners making it look easy.....

North Carolina State up 14-0 over Virginia Tech.

Yeah, this is shaping up to be a thrashing.

Michigan up early on Indiana, shoelace already doing his thing. He'll need to, with our _efense. Wish I was home to watch it on ESPNU.

Touchdown TCU.

Texas needed that.

hell of a throw and catch there on 4th down

I remember when Tennessee was "good". Sorta.

Texas stops OU.. but going for it on 4th & 10

[DaKCMan AP]

NOW Texas stops OU on 4th

For those of you who don't watch much of OU's games, they have a TERRIBLE kicker.

Man, Oklahoma's just taking them to the woodshed.

Except for that one big run from Monroe (who is FAST), OU has been all over UT

Hey... Greg Robinson's defense giving up 21 points in the 1st half against Indiana.

[tk13]

Herbstreit called the Michigan game so far. I haven't seen them play, but he said Indiana's offense is a little more explosive than people expect... and with Michigan's horrible defense, they'd be able keep it close.

Robinson is on pace for 300 yards passing and 300 yards rushing, though. Not too bad.

[Buehler445]

I really thought you'd turned the corner after that win against GT. Hard to believe this is the same group of players.

Ain't that some shit?

Yeah it was really close, without pryor were not a top 20 team. We struggled, then when TP came back JT had the reins way too tight.

You know you have a weakass schedule when home vs Utah State is one of your 3 key remaining games....

[BWillie]

It was a 3 point game in Ann Arbor last year and Michigan's defense is even worse now than it was then. Not sure what you were expecting this time around. :shrug:

This is what I expected...but it appears the media and general public thinks Mich. is good for some reason. I don't understand it.

[Zaiko]

I think it's everyone just loves Denard Robinson

[DaKCMan AP]

The reason is Denard Robinson.

[keg in kc]

This is what I expected...but it appears the media and general public thinks Mich. is good for some reason. I don't understand it.I've been trying to tell people since the day Michigan entered the polls that it's a mirage. They won't fall apart like last year (fingers crossed), but they don't have the defense to make any game safe. They do have the offense to make every game interesting, though.

Rodriguez still needs another class of recruits on defense, unfortunately. Lloyd Carr didn't leave him shit on that side of the ball. Why on earth the guy hired Greg fucking Robinson, though, I will never know. That's all on him.

[keg in kc]

FYI, Michigan goes 3-deep at QB including a freshman who may be better than Robinson long term. That offense can still roll without him, although it's obviously better with him. That kind of speed is such a weapon...

[keg in kc]

Looks like the Wolverines have already scored, under a minute into the 3rd quarter. 28-21.

[Zaiko]

Yep Forcier is studly. Fast too.

It's not like Michigan is ranked top-10. Who would you put above them? Here are the "others receiving votes" from last week:

Florida State 84, North Carolina State 80, West Virginia 45, Air Force 22, Northwestern 21, Kansas State 17, Clemson 16, Houston 10, Mississippi State 7, Texas Tech 5, Virginia Tech 2, UCLA 1

[Zaiko]

FSU and NC State are probably the only ones I'd consider.

How is Vtech still getting votes?

Michigan's a team that could win 8 or 9 games, though, so the ranking isn't completely unfounded in that sense. But they're going to lose a head-scratcher or two because of that defense. Today maybe.

I just think it's hard to be one of the top 25 teams in the country when you have one of the bottom 25 defenses...

[DaKCMan AP]

Now every time Texas gets a big gain the ref pulls out a flag.

[keg in kc]

Touchdown indiana according to the gamecast. About to be tied at 28.

Stats for this game are ridiculous...

[keg in kc]

Michigan has just 10 first downs and 27 total plays. 404 yards of offense, 222 passing, 182 rushing, 11:33 TOP and 1 turnover (that would be robinson fumbling inside the 5 I think, would have made the game 21-7).

Indiana has 23 first downs on 62 plays, 324 yards passing, 81 rushing, and have had the ball for 26:32. Also one turnover.

Sweet jesus, 62 plays and it's midway through the 3rd quarter. Fifteen minute advantage in ToP.

[keg in kc]

And Michigan scores in two plays. LMAO

This game must be something to watch.

[DaKCMan AP]

Ouch, offsides negates the turnover.

That was hilarious, the commentators were so busy jabbering that they missed the offsides call and wondered why Texas didn't have the ball. ROFL

Are these announcers as drunk as I am?

"And the penalty won't matter". Dumbass

Did Oklahoma have Mike Pouncey in on that snap (I keed, Mike, I keed)?

I know. They haven't done much to earn that #3 ranking besides generating some hype before the season started.. Granted, they have won so far, but against who?

A Vtech team that lost to James Madison?

Not only did James Madison beat VT, they did it AT VT by a larger margin. LMAO

LSU FG

Tenn 7

I think they flagged the other dude about 10 yds up from the foul who like 4coaches were holding back.

[tk13]

Boise's best win might end up being Oregon State.

Actually, depending on how it plays out... it might be going on the road to Nevada if they can win there, with the way Nevada's been playing. I'm not sure that's a gimme.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nevada wins that game. They put the wood to a Cal team that dominated their first two opponents and almost won at Arizona last weekend. But the good thing for Boise is that at least gives them one more tough game on their schedule.

[keg in kc]

Neither team showed much in the 3rd. Texas isn't completely out of it, but it looks to be Oklahoma's game to lose.

[Zaiko]

OU showed some D by not breaking on that first drive of the half though.

Texas dropped a few passes they could've had.

[DaKCMan AP]

Big play LSU.. down to Tennessee's 10.

For a big-time pro prospect, Murray likes going to the ground a little too soon sometimes.

Texas killin themselves.. another personal foul.

Keeps the clock ticking and keeps OU offense on the field. big penalty
