If Quinn Ewers gets healthy, Texas is going to be a very good football team. They have some dudes. 

Worthy reminds me a load of the late 90's, early '00s receivers we had.

Texas outplayed Alabama almost all game. Just couldn’t capitalize, and some calls obviously made the mountain that much taller to climb. 
 

Considering turning off the TV and going Bird hunting for the rest of the day…

Kinda hard when they knock out your starting QB early in the game, and the other one gets hurt.

Texas almost beat bama when they knocked out McCoy too.

What that gamed showed me was Bama is definitely beatable. In fact much like if Bo was healthy last year (we win), I think Ewers plays the whole game, they may have actually won by double digits.

Streets are rough out there. I’d consider staying indoors.

Thought their backup played well enough under the circumstances, but you are right.

It was a rough night

Texas wins if they get the safety call correct.

Auburn hit his, Ohio State transfer didn't wrap up

That was such a missed opportunity.  Credit Bryce for making that play.

I think there were just to many goals by Texas. Lets say they had the safety on top of the field goal. Bama probably scores a TD instead of kicking a field goal. I don’t recall seeing that many calls against Bama in a game even with that Texas couldnt get across the goal line. I know there was some missed but Texas probably got more calls against Bama today than Auburn has several years combined.

That miss before half may REALLY come back to haunt them.

And it did.

Throw goes directly toward the sideline. No one near it. Can’t believe they didn’t discuss it more.

Exactly!! I can’t believe they didn’t call it. Refs broke rules or made up the call for Bama. That was utterly nonsensical and that call should be discussed more.

I just can't believe I wasted all those fist pumps, all the while KNOWING what the outcome was gonna be.

It's weird the way you quoted that, because I didn't say that. Whoever was responding to me said that.

Bryce got rid of the ball before being down. His throwing motion was impeded by the defender so that wiped out intentional grounding. Even so, I think that there was a RB or WR in the direction he was throwing in. When Bryce threw the ball, it hit a longhorn helmet. That explains why it went that direction.

Show me the rule that says that his throwing motion being impeded negates an intentional grounding call.

We all know different teams have different rule books applied to them.

I think the reality is that the referees believed he was sacked and did not consider to call intentional grounding, which they could not find on the subsequent review.

The non call on the blatant facemask by Bama out in the wide open field that would have given UTx a first and goal was potentially another big missed/non-call

I'll tell you one thing- I loved the FOX telecast. They were dogging Bama ALL GAME. Way better than the CBS crew.
