Game Highlights

Watching and listening to that makes me very glad that we left the sound muted on the television and synced Craig Way's game call with the TV. Craig's call on the 4th down stop at the goal line was an instant classic.

Well, why weren’t you?

College Station, where QB careers go to die.

Dreams crushed. And it’s goodbye to 8T4

Harry Azcrac and Duncan McCockiner were arrested at Kyle Field on Saturday night for trying to get into game with construction uniforms on.

@Gylcomer did you see this?

Ethan gives me more respect for lacrosse players now. I always expected lacrosse players to look like Harry Potter.

I was afraid they’d go for targeting on that hit.

Has anybody told BayouAg that the program has almost ALWAYS been right where it is now?

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I guess they are finally learning what we have all know since 2014 when this was created.

Great slo-mo of Arch’s TD run

Great indeed and thanks for posting.
Again I don't know s**t about the game of football. I never played it at any competitive level, I'm just a huge fan and that's it.
That said it sure looks to me like #3 and #25 missed the opportunity to wrap up and drive Arch out of bounds before he scored. Not that we wouldn't have scored anyway, but nevertheless a missed chance on their part.

3 couldn't handle Arch's strength and 25 was too late.

But to be honest, I don't think it was a touchdown. The right arm hit the pylon, but not the ball or left arm. Probably didn't matter that close, but technically....

Don't know if anyone posted this, but my best memory of Saturday's game was when the team sang the Eyes of Texas with pride and honor at the end of the game. To think that four years ago we had a head coach who allowed/enabled a player mutiny which resulted in Sam Ehlinger singing the Eyes by himself after the OU game and then the alumni was forced to endure the spectacle of having to defend the history behind our school song.

Those were sad times, but the program has been resurrected and the pride and unity of the team was on full display before, during and after the game. Hookem!

Arch had already passed #3 base center. All he could do was reach and try and grab Arch's right leg.
As Herb mentioned Arch has " tree trunk " legs and there was no way he was going down.
Best hope for #3 was that Arch was made to stumble till the pursuit got there.

I don't know what the actual rule says - does the ball have to make contact?
My speculation: if the pylon is an extension of the end zone then it seems to me that any contact with it is considered a TD (assuming no body part has touched out of bounds prior to that contact)

This is what I thought, but apparently by rule if the pylon is touched before the player goes out of bounds it is a td. I don't know if that is correct, but that was how it was explained to me anyway. Same with Blue's catch. He had control and a foot down so it was a touchdown at that point and the ball movement after he hit the ground didn't matter.

THe ball touched the pylon. It was a td.

I believe that if the player hits the pylon then the line of the endzone is extended (out of bounds). He did hit the pylon and the ball was across the line of the endzone even though it might have been outside the "box" that makes up that endzone.

Thats a horrible angle on the photo..
Don"t recall the verbage but the referee explained it. Touchdown Texas

Has the University gotten rid of the crapbag "professor" who started all that?

Blue had the ball and a foot completely down in bounds, definitely a TD. I yelled that's a TD the same time Kirkstreit did.

On Arch's carry the ball has to touch the pylon or go over the plane of the pylon, as HIC's picture shows it did not, and other angles show the same thing. The announcers discussed this. Maybe only and inch off, but not a TD.

Not sure what you think you might have known. It is a screenshot from the video several posts up.

The explanation was that his right arm hit the pylon and if the ball was over the pylon it was a TD. If his arm hit the pylon and the ball was not over the field of play, then that was where the ball should be placed.

Texas probably received a gift here.

Well, aggy says neither one was a touchdown, so there's that.

The runner got the "plane of the goal line extended" called in his favor. I think they missed the call, but it wouldn't have mattered under any circumstance. aggy wasn't keeping us out of the end zone.

This was the interpretation made by the announcers.
