Well my beloved Longhorns blew another one tonight, even though it was against a ranked team this week.
Its no surprise that they have 4 losses as we expected at least 5-6 in this rebuilding year where they started out unranked and will most likely end up that way.
However tonights game really got to me. There were several calls during the game that the refs blatently got wrong (Almost like they were getting paid off). Wouldn't have mattered as our Starting QB has thrown 8 INT's and ZERO TD's in the past 5 games including 2 tonight.
Here is the baffling part where - YOU MAKE THE CALL .....
Your team is down by 7 with 4 minutes left. Your on the 14 yard line and its 4th and 10. Whats the proper Call.
1) Run it down the middle
2) Screen Pass
3) Play Action Pass
4) Wildcat
5) Kick a field goal and shock everyone in the stands as you STILL need a Touchdown to win because now you are down by 4 rather than 7.
Yep you guessed it, they took 3 points when they needed 7 to tie. The worst thing that could have happened is an incomplete pass and you give the ball over on downs on the 14 yard line and STILL Need a TD to tie.
I guess I just dont understand why coaches get paid millions for stupid decisions like that.
Good news is Basketball Season has started and March Madness is just a few months away !!!!!!!!!!!
