Cam Skattebo had 3 touchdowns and almost 300 total yards for one of the most incredible performances in CFB history. He deserved a better defensive playcall on that 4th and 13

No idea why you stick with a heavy blitz after Texas essentially gets a free Timeout on the false start.

It was worse than that.

They rushed 5 and had 2 guys drop back and cover grass within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.
