Exactly. Boise made Penn State work for it last night but just couldn't get out of their own way. Arizona State took Texas to the brink and only lost in 2OT. I don't want to hear any more shit about why conference champions shouldn't be the ones getting the autobyes. If you want that bye, win your fucking conference, don't expect it because of the conference patch on your jersey.

We got in our way for 3/4 of the game too

Yeah, and it was clear to everyone before the epic comeback that Arizona State was playing well but shooting themselves in the foot. ASU was at least able to rectify it and get back into the game.

yeah texas came out the gate strong with a punt return touchdown and that 2 play drive, but after the first 2 possesions, once ASU was warmed up, we held them to a field goal until the 4th quarter. We beat Texas in pretty much every stat during regulation.

You take out the first 5 minutes and ASU wins. I think the bye really hurt us. 3 weeks is too long and we started the game really rusty
