SMU Played Tough

Your D played hard all game long, regardless of the score. You should be proud of your D players and coaches. No you should never be content with a loss but there isn't parity in college football and Lubbock is a very tough place to win. Your team came in to win and took a good swipe at it.

The O looked flawless on the 2 TD drives. Those 2 drives looked like typical June Jones, split up the D and find the empty spot. The TD from the short field was mixed, not bad, but not flawless like the other 2. #11 made a great play, keeping his head in the game, by catching the tipped pass.

If your team plays that hard every game, you will win 9 or 10 games this year. Especially if your FG K can nail 61 yarders. That was a thing of beauty and obvious it was good the moment it left his foot.

For the few who made the trip to the game, thank you for coming.

Thanks for the kind words and astute commentary.

It was clear that Tuberville wants to establish a more aggressive attitude in the Tech defense, and team overall. It was nice to see SMU didn't back down.

I would like to know how the officials and TV announcers missed Potts tossing the football at Yenga's facemask. There was some chippiness on both sides during a tussle after a Potts sneak, but throwing the football at the opponent warrants a personal foul, if not ejection.

Probably from CFO West, which is an officiating alliance between CUSA, MWC, WAC, and Big 12 (I believe).

Head ref was Ed Ardito according to this site: http://www.big12sports.com//ViewContent ... _ID=117361

Back in the days that CUSA had its own refs, Ardito was a CUSA ref: http://www.referee.com/arbiter/myrefere ... 7bowls.htm
