Here's what struck me. (I'm a Longhorn, so I'm counting myself lucky that those Lubbockers weren't smart enough to think about it)...
When Tech was driving for their TD, they had 2nd and 3 on our 11 with about 2 minutes to go. If I'm the coach, I'm calling for a run up the middle, and telling my guys NOT to score. Run at least 25 seconds and do it again. At worst, it's 4th and 3ish on or around the 11, time for a FG with under a minute left. At best (for them), they get the first, and do it again twice to kick the FG with seconds remaining.
Thank God they ran it in untouched (you think Mack Brown told them to let him score?!?!?! It's possible). Ballsy call putting in Mock there, but he does run the 1-minute drill in practice, and Young doesn't. It worked, so he's a genius. If it didn't, he's fired.
