Kid almost fumbled again.

Is he the only scholarship QB on the roster or something?

Have no idea but clearly the HC feels whatever is at backup is not an option. He needs the world's greatest hypnotherapist ready to go during half-time.

The ref, David Smith, played in victory on this very field as qb for Alabama in 1986 in a breakout game for both Bobby Humphrey and Derrick Thomas. Thomas sacked the Penn State qb so hard he walked into the Bama defensive huddle on the following play and Joe Pa had to call time out from the sidline. Humphrey had a couple of long Td runs and big yards for the day.  Smith, who had feet of clay, tried to run in the red zone and went down “like a British heavyweight,” Brent Musberger said on the call that night.  Bama won by 20 or so.  Big upset for Bill Curry as PSU were defending champs.  Florida and Emmitt Smith brought us back down to Earth the following week in Birmingham.

I haven’t been watching and have no idea what the Talking Heads are saying.  But just now seeing it’s 21-zip, anybody know what the greatest deficit SMU has overcome this season?

They’ve overcome being surrounded by a bunch of $30,000/yr millionaires in leased BMWs.

This all sucks. Hate it for Jennings but pretty great ride of a season. Hoping the Horns will make this a much better evening. 

Great fucking season. To follow a great season.

We need to learn from this and adjust and take it into next year. 

We can obviously hang with these teams. Jennings gave this away but we wouldn't be here without him.

This is what I was afraid of. 2 blowouts to start the playoffs. It'll be 3 if Ewers doesn't fuck the game up. 

There's just big level differences between the SEC and top 3 of the Big 10 vs every other conference now. Realignment and portal has change everything

I don't see how that is obvious at all.
