I want to see zero interceptions, and I want Colt to put up some numbers before giving way to Chiles.

at least 52 on ’em. Good first half. Want to see that bovine killer instinct now.

if OL starting winning its battles. D-line, as we know, if dominating. O-line is not.

or...

…maybe a Muschamp signature second-half adjustment?

I guess it’s hard to adjust positively from giving up zero points and almost no yards, though.

Vanderbilt’s knocking off Auburn! This has been a great finish! Eff you, Tigers—we steal your DCs, and you lose!

Note: A&M running for 7.3 per carry.

The TOs are a killer – two INT returned for TDs and long punt. OSU only scored two from scrimmage.

Noted for weakness of OSU run D.

If that were the case

then that INT would have been fumbled, picked up and run back by us for a TD.

ok lil off topic...but...

maybe some of the problems we are having on offense can be attributed to major as the runningback coach?

I mean I would hate to pin the blame on one of my fav longhorn, but do you think some of the problems we are having w/ the run game can be attributed to the major not doing his job as the runningback coach?

granted that we had injuries to fozzy and mcgee..but I am sure that this doesnt look good w/ recruiting….we will probably need a prime-time RB in near future…
