ESPN's Ryan Clark nailed it. NFL fans rightly applaud breast cancer awareness, autism research and military love. But then boo players standing for unity? This wasn't an anthem protest. It was about black people seeking equal treatment. Bad look at Arrowhead. Be better, America.

Oklahoma DL Ethan Downs — one of several athletes honored the half as part of the All State Good Works Team — flashed the Horns down and the Texas fans noticed. A torrent of OU Sucks chants rained down as he ran off the field, loving every second. College football. Gotta love it

I'm not a fan of a team getting a CFP after a 34-10 loss. Alabama waxed them 52-24 in the early season but the Texas A&M Aggies have beaten all the other teams they have faced. A&M has a legit claim to the No. 4 spot. I would take the Aggies over Notre Dame.

Vic Fangio has been in this league for 35 years and that was some of the worst clock management in league history. The Broncos leave the field with two timeouts remaining, the timeouts he should have used when Tennessee was running down the clock. Sorry but that's inexcusable.

As beloved a Longhorn as I have ever been around. Will miss chopping it up with Bijan Robinson.
A look at what is likely Bijan Robinson’s final victory walk off the field at DKR, ending with him firing off Smokey the Cannon. Cool to see him soak it all in.

Tom Herman will talk after the game about how good of a coach Tim Beck is and that this is a work in progress. And the fan base will groan. Texas Tech has held you to 23 points and some of those points came courtesy of a short field from turnovers. Inexcusable.

Brian Flores made the coaching move of the season to bring in Fitzpatrick for the rookie in a pivotal moment. Good for Fitzpatrick. It takes a special QB to take a demotion while winning and still be ready to roll when his number is called. Fitz is a pro's pro.

This is good coaching. Shaka recognized he has a veteran group. No timeout needed. He trusted junior Courtney Ramey to make a winning play and he did just that. Andrew Jones for the win. Horns are a 4-0 in conference. The Morgantown demon from last season has been exorcised.

The numbers don't lie. Plus Ford jumped off the freaking screen every week. Play after play. He just had the best LB season at Texas since Derrick Johnson in 2004. He not only should be an All-American but was the unquestioned best defensive player in the league this season.
