I think my favorite stat is only TWO penalties the whole game. I think that's the best game in a decade for us

That is unreal.

The depths to which I would stoop for a two penalty game…

The refs were very lax yesterday in general though. Hopefully this is a trend for us but they were really letting the boys play (which in general I don't mind, even if there were some missed calls)

I turned on the espn YouTube clip of the last few minutes, and the first play shown was a blatant DPI with the Texas corner shoving the WR out of bounds.

Getting few penalties when they're not being called isn't worth feeling good about.

Yeah I think refs were going light on penalties the whole game except for egregious ones

I know the OSU false start you mentioned, but Texas was holding a lot too. Glad they let them play regardless

Of course a Big XII guy, used to seeing flags fly every two plays, would bring this weak shit.
