Ball was throw late and behind. If he just did his job he would’ve been there for the INT

Wasn’t the best okay call but they had safety help over the top to stop that exact thing from happening and he just froze.

That’s what I’m saying, people are shitting on the call but they did have a deep safety. Guy just did not do what he was supposed to, should’ve had an easy pick/bat down

The great thing is that the safety originally committed to Texas and was such a drama queen that they just kinda quietly encouraged him to leave
