    Did he get caught from behind on his return or did dude have the angle on him? Kind of disappointing if it's the former, given that he's supposed to be one of our fastest guys. I honestly don't remember and can't find a highlight of the return.

    the dude had a pretty good angle on him, but I thought he was gone too.

    Definitely an angle. To be more specific two TCU players had an angle on him. Had it just been either Beckham probably would have scored. He had out ran the white guy that had the angle, but allowed him to catch up and initiate the tackle when he put a move on the black guy that would have taken him out of the play had it not been for the white guy staying with the play. If either TCU player is a half-step further from him he would have scored.

    Speaking of bad angles . . . on that long sweep that they scored on, Loston took a bad angle and then made a sloppy tackle attempt that failed. We could have stopped that score.

    He basically outran his coverage, if I remember correctly. Seems like I remember, for one thing, a #25 looking around and OB running by before 25 even blocked one person- which is terrible and I hope film study exposes him.

    that play was Rasco's fault, if the QB has the ball in the RB belly that long, just hit the fucking QB, play over.

    I was thinking the same thing. The QB and #23 were in the backfield square dancing way too long not to have someone just knock the snot out the both of them.

    Right. He'd either disrupt the handoff or at worst, get a clean legal hit on the QB. Never pass up a chance to get a clean, legal hit on the QB.
