a few things...
1. What the hell was that punter thinking?
2. What the hell was Mack thinking with that fake FG? Just go for it with Colt and the boys or actually kick the FG.
3. The Mountain West officiating sucks. Not only were they calling bogus penalties...they were not calling obvious ones. Oh and then there was that lame penalty on Texas where he did the YOU CANT SEE ME, but not at any Wyoming player. It should have been a no call. But the refs called the penalty.....make it 1st and goal. Wyoming runs the ball, making it 2nd and goal. Then the refs decide that there isnt an automatic first down for unsportsmanlike conduct...so it is 3rd and goal...this infuriates the Wyoming coach, understandably.....but there is more. After even further discussion, they realize that it is actually 3rd and 1. Wyoming doesnt make it and has to kick a FG. That whole situation was totally unprofessional and some of the worst officiating I have seen in a long time.
The lone touchdown by Wyoming was set up by a bogus holding call on the Texas Center. All he did was push his man to the ground, which is legal. Texas got a first down on the play. But that braindead referee through the flag and called holding. Horrible call. Well that took away a first down and Texas had to punt 2 plays later....and that is when the blocked punt happened.
Earlier in the game, Wyoming was called for a roughing the kicker penalty.....BOGUS. He ran into the kicker. It should have been only a 5 yd penalty.
4. I wish Texas would use Cody Johnson as a FB and run McGee, Monroe, and Newton behind him. Also, enough with the 0 yard passes. Once Colt started throwing those 8-15 yd passes, the Horns took over and dominated. It also opened up the running lanes.
5. Props to Wyoming...they played super hard and super tough. I was impressed with their D and tackling for the most part. Unfortunately for them, they were just outmanned and outmatched. They are going to suck this year.....but you can already see the foundation is in place for some good things to come from that program. Do not be surprised if in about 4-5 years teams are drafting WRs, OL, and defensive players from Wyoming on a regular basis.
6. You could tell Mack was holding back. He didnt want to give TT any ammunition to work on for next week. Look for the Horns to show a lot more aggressiveness next Saturday.
