I caught the 4th quarter of this game, and Texas lost this game because of 2 mistakes by 2 Freshmen Safeties, one mistake physical, the other mental.
The first was obviously that dropped INT with 10 seconds left. The ball was tipped, and basically a floating feather moving 1 MPH dropping right into his arms, and Black Gidion dropped it.
Then, on the Crabtree's touchdown, the deep safety on that side came over to help the corner when the ball was thrown to Crabtree. If you watch #12 closely, when he comes over to help, he RUNS RIGHT BY NOT DOING ANYTHING. All he should be thinking about is running over and just smashing Crabtree out of bounds, which could have caused a drop, or atleast getting crabtree out of bounds. Instead he runs right by, Crabtree shakes the corner and game over. TERRIBLE mental mistake.
