Knowing that the Texas alums really control things down there, the first thoughts would be that 'well, maybe we're becoming respectable again', but depending on how the rest of the season goes, might sour a bit. They expect instant success - heck they're paying enough for it....sorry Ewers got hurt, but was glad to see that the backup QB did well. Also would expect that he beat out Ewers, but the 'powers that be' said.....start Ewers, and so it was. Sark (in my humble opinion) mismanaged the endgame there. And/or the prevent defense really only prevents one thing. We'll see. Maybe an alum will make a call to Urban now.....

If Oklahoma struggles against TCU and KSU, they'll definitely be expecting Tejas to beat them the following week on their way to a B12 championship. If they stumble and lose 4 or 5 games, I'd guess that Sark might want to start drinking again. The culture down there is toxic, and NIL is just going to make that worse. Notice that Sark or the Texas AD hasn't said peep about reigning in the booster collectives like Gene Smith or Saban have.

No such angle exists bro. Absolute horseshit of a have by those refs. If some karmic misery hits all of them I won't bat an eye.

So when it was first described to me (I didn't watch it live), it was "no safety, roughing the passer." I watched the highlights during halftime of another game, ESPN announcers said it was only "incomplete pass, fourth down."
I think ESPN was trying to cover for the officials, because the attached is what I saw later.
They initially called "roughing the passer, targeting." After watching the replay, they all agree that it's not targeting, and they back out of the "roughing the passer" by saying it was really just targeting that was called, and after review, it wasn't targeting.
My take is that the quarterback was "in the grasp" of the defender. Is that still a thing? They should have called him down there. Safety.
However, since they didn't do that (and can't review it, I guess), they at least got the roughing the passer penalty removed, even if they really aren't allowed to do that.

I would have thought they would have called “grounding” and then a safety as a result. Terrible officiating….

a) It's clearly grounding, might even be a backward pass, in which case it's a fumble.
b) If there is roughing, then there should be offsetting penalties - grounding, roughing and you run the play again.
c) This team of officials should be in the FBI's witness protection program.
d) And you thought Big Ten officiating was bad.
