Things I think I know: Week 12

Well, that Ty Storey play they called sure worked out well didn’t it?

Once again, the players played their tails off, but the bastion of buffoonery known as the Razorback football coaching staff screwed it all up.

Arkansas was on it’s way to an upset of a top 20 team at home in front of small gathering at Razorback Stadium. Mississippi State had no answer to Sosa Agim. Everything was going great. Until the quarterback with a bum shoulder was told to throw it deep on 4th & 2 in a tie ballgame.

Brilliant.

It didn’t help that Arkansas’ short yardage quarterback Cole Kelley was in the Razorback student section, unable to play due to a suspension.

As one listener put it to me post game, “Just when I thought I couldn’t dislike Bielema anymore, he calls that 4th & 2 play.”

Another afternoon ruined on the hill.

Here’s what else I saw this weekend.

• Baker Mayfield did something really dumb, but he shouldn’t lose the Heisman trophy over it.
• Wisconsin, even with one loss, should be in the playoff. If we are looking for the four best teams, they are on that list.
• Watching LSU play Tennessee in a monsoon was pretty awesome.

• None of the top ten teams in the playoff rankings lost this weekend. This can only mean that the final weekend of the regular season is going to be bananas.
• I am not counting out Auburn against Alabama.
• If Ohio State makes the playoff, this whole thing is a sham.

Finally, I want to leave you with this cool fake out punt return executed to perfection by USC on Saturday.
