:yeahHere are the refs:
Officials: Referee: C. Castleberry; Umpire: Richard Brown; Linesman: Kelly Saalfeld;
Line judge: Frank LeBlanc; Back judge: Len Williams; Field judge: Bobby Bernard;
Side judge: Tim Murray; Scorer: Steve Morrison;
I know the head referee Cooper Castleberry is a B12 ref who screws us (and everyone not from Texas). Not sure about the rest, but I'd bet that's a B12 crew.
:yeahIt's the first game for %^#*s sake.
Don't read too much into it. Damn.
:yeahNot that good. There's no excuse for giving up 155 yards to a sunbelt RB when we (among tons of others) expect(ed) our defense to be elite again this year after giving up less than 100 rushing ypg.
At that going rate he'll go for 1800 yards. He's not 1800 yards good.
Man, those umpires and getting in the way of our players...If you look at his long run, Thenarse should have made the play after about an 8-10 yard gain, but Ricky ran into the umpire. No joke, watch the film.
The kid is a good player, put on a lot of muscle over the off season, cut body fat down quite a bit. He averaged 6.6 yards a carry last year. Think what he would do with a real team.
Credit where credit is due. 8th Nationally in rushing right now. He and their QB were really quite impressive as far as I was concerned. I did not see any deer in the head lights looks from either of them.
