With all these upsets Tennessee might sneak into the top 5.

Hopefully I won't have to hear anymore about Texas being "back." I guess beating a perennially overrated ND team isn't a signpost of success.

As far as the fumble being immediately recovered or not what determines what is immediate? I have seen this rule be applied inconsistently in the past with teams recovering the fumble later than what happened in this game.

Very weird. It needs to be changed to simply if there's a fumble and at any point if anyone picks it up, it's a recovery.

Could care less what the rule is, if a player does something that stupid, it should just be an automatic TO. Blows my mind how dumb some players are.

They missed it in another game (I said it in the thread but can't remember what game now lol)

For real. What is even the point? Do they think it looks cool to drop the ball? I just don't understand. Why the hell do they want to drop the ball?

Drop the ball.
Expression comes from the game of FOOTBALL, where it's not a good thing to drop the ball when the ball is in play. It's mainly used based on failure and mistakes. So, if you want to tell someone how important it is to succeed in a particular activity, then this is a good expression to use.

I know I'm in the minority's here but I kind of understand and agree with Texas not getting the "fumble recovery."

The Texas player didn't pick up the ball on a heads up play, he picked it up slowly to hand it to the ref. Would be silly to award him for a fumble recovery for that.

Coaches should definitely teach players if there is any doubt whatsoever you dive on that ball, I don't care when/where the other player drops it.

I get where you're coming from. But still. A Texas player picked it up before a ref picked it up. So even if the Texas player wasn't aware he was recovering a fumble, he technically did. So I think the role should change. But I do get your view point on it

I think Texas fans may be the most miserable in the nation. Their board EXPLODES after every loss and it's just pure hostility all around. I know we're pretty bad, but they are on another level.

And technically the Texas player fumbled it when he handed it to the ref. Clemson was awarded a TD when the South Carolina State kick returner tossed a live ball to the ref. They were both "here you take it...I don't want it" plays. Play the game until the whistle blows, the Clemson kid did.

I'm pretty sure I've stated before that they're like my 4th favorite college team (only behind the 3 schools I'm actually tied to), so how exactly am I a closet fan to begin with?

I just think that opinion is a poor one. You google worst college fanbases, and Texas isn't a common one you'll see listed.
