what kinda call was that momentum change?

**pokernut9999** · 12-27-07, 09:15 PM

see how many coaches and players were on the field on that play?

**SBR Lou** · 12-27-07, 09:16 PM

Wow what a one handed grab, that had disaster written all over it.

**ronniejamedio** · 12-27-07, 09:17 PM

yea we needed that. still got some work to do

**rjt721** · 12-27-07, 09:17 PM

Great spot for an onside kick right now...

**SBR Lou** · 12-27-07, 09:18 PM

They're really in a position to capitalize off this momentum now, if they could score another TD before half it'd be a one score game and they'd get the ball to start the 3rd quarter. They need to keep Texas off the board this quarter.

Texas gaining steam, Rudy had his man wide open and they would've ended up adding some more points, now they're going to let Texas score again.

**bengals888** · 12-27-07, 09:35 PM

texas keeps going....going touchdown....money to the bank...

**jaymes93** · 12-27-07, 09:36 PM

**jaymes93** · 12-27-07, 09:40 PM

there is no coming back for ASU, only more scoring from UT

IM MR T

**ppdougla** · 12-27-07, 09:43 PM

idk...arizona state can't really play any worse, and everyone but mack brown's stepson is playing sick for texas...if rudy sobers up over halftime, they can put up some points

they may beable to put up some points but i don't see them stopping this formidable UT offence with how its playing now

**jaymes93** · 12-27-07, 09:50 PM

is that delay of game huge or what for asu

**ppdougla** · 12-27-07, 09:55 PM

i feel like carpenter must have a big play on Texas and the under

**jaymes93** · 12-27-07, 09:58 PM

Wow That Fumble Is Huge!!!

**SBR Lou** · 12-27-07, 09:59 PM

He seriously gets no protection

thats where erickson and carpenter need to make adjustments...he needs to take quick drops and throw some screen plays...TX pass defense is ranked 109th in the nation, there is no excuse to not be picking them apart

**rjt721** · 12-27-07, 10:06 PM

ASU needs to roll out Rudy and get him out of the pocket to buy some time to get the ball downfield. He'll continue to get killed dropping straight back.

**jaymes93** · 12-27-07, 10:08 PM

i dont think it will matter what ASU does right now, this UT defence is playing with passion, and playing like a top 10 defence.

UT's pass defense isn't what's hurting ASU. It's the pass rush not giving Rudy any time to attack the secondary. They tried some quick slants and hot routes to limited success, but ASU has to get the ball down the field. Throwing some screens, as you mentioned, isn't a bad idea, especially if UT continues to blitz.

**SBR Lou** · 12-27-07, 10:11 PM

Well, I've written this one off. Maybe ASU will come out and roll, but that's probably a stretch. Once the Celtics game starts I'm just gonna switch over to that.

**ShamsWoof10** · 12-27-07, 10:13 PM

Man I am thinking UNDER 30 second half...

**jtnguyen79** · 12-27-07, 10:31 PM

go seattle

**jaymes93** · 12-27-07, 10:43 PM

asu isnt smart enough to run a screen play apparently since they havent yet
GO UT!!!

**ShamsWoof10** · 12-27-07, 10:56 PM

You under bettors.. don't give up just yet... This second half under looks cashed already...

**rjt721** · 12-27-07, 11:32 PM

I'll never understand why ASU didn't better utilize Rudy Burgess' talents this season. Erickson really dropped the ball in not making Burgess a bigger part of the offense.

lol

**ShamsWoof10** · 12-28-07, 01:24 AM

Yeah it ended up going over in the fourth by itself and I took the under in the fourth too... I got a push on tx. which pisses me off because that should have been a win...

Sh*t day!!!

Wow that was one unbelievable turn of events........... ASU ball, 1st and goal.

crazyl,
I didn't have a bet on the game, so the outcome didn't matter to me one way or the other...But if the standard to overturn a call on the field is "indisputable video evidence" there is no way in hell they should have overturned that play.

I watched every angle they showed and it appeared that Mack Brown's step son MAY have touched the ball. But I didn't see a single replay that showed conclusively that he touched the ball. Just didn't see it.

I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I swear I think that might have been a call made for TV to keep ASU in the game and keep the game close.

What do you think?
