How could the refs NOT call a sideline warning on Texas on that bizarre play? Besides the guy that may or may not have touched the ball, they had several other guys on the field of play when the ball was live. I guess since they called the unsportsmanlike conduct, they thought it wasn't necessary.

Credit to Mack for calling the fake punt on 4th and 1 that allowed Texas to get the momentum back.

It's amazing that Arizona State was as successful as they were this season with that porous pass protection. Texas didn't have a good pass rush this year, and they're practically living in the ASU backfield.

The piece is fine. The booth commentary afterwards was a joke... but it was kind of them to not let up on the motivation for OSU. For a second there I thought they were going to admit that Texas' speed (easily as fast as any SEC team) sure didn't blow away OSU either year... rather the opposite.

So, is ASU overrated, UT underrated or neither?

Wildly overrated. They were horrendous in pass pro all year, they would have been decimated in the b10 or sec. I think MSU, PSU, Wisconsin & Iowa could take it to them, as well as OSU & ILL. I've given up trying to feel confident about UM in any game.
