Cotcher is up top covering the game (and I think he is impressed):

Sounding like Shipley and Josh Turner are both available.

If by chance Texas could pull off the upset, it would be one of the biggest upsets by UT that I can remember.

Shipley was out there fielding punts during warmups.

Somebody wearing #5 was running around too.

Some last minute, way-too-obvious keys that I'll be watching for....

1. Protect the football.  The fumbles cost more last week than most are admitting.

2. Punch early, don't take a punch.

3. Play 4 quarters of consistent football. They haven't done it yet.

4, Relax and don't let BYU beat you twice. This is important for fans too if predictions are an indicator.

5. Do what you do well on offense, don't take a "let's see what works" approach.

Sophomore OL Curtis Riser did not travel with the team

OLB Naashon Hughes warmed up with the DEs

HOOK EM!!!!

 

[Matt Cotcher]

They pump in the field mic on the ref in the press box. BIG TEN officials tonight.

 

[Juan]

They said UCLA won toss and deferred to 2nd half

But we still decided to kick off -- note sure about that

I hate to start piling on coaching this early but that was pretty bad
