I joined the forum just to post this gif I made for someone on reddit:

I have been watching football for 75 years including an era where defense ruled and scoreless ties were not uncommon and I have never...repeat never...seen a goal line stand to equal tonights. First a

Already been said, but after that beastly performance it bears saying again...best goal line stand I've ever seen. Even after Rice got bailed out by the refs on the 1st 4th down. Unbelievable! That was championship defense. So glad I was there to see it in person.

Technically, wasn't it 9 or10 if you include the defensive "penalties" which negated the play

That play with Abbe pinned was outrageous. What do you call for pinning a player down and humping him?

There was one play earlier in the game, with a Rice player running towards the NT sideline. One of our secondary nearly had the back of his jersey pulled off, right in front of two officials. Nothing.

The play where our DB had his jersey yanked was the worst no call of the night. It even occurred right in front of an official with a good angle of the play. Especially considering that the tv replay didn't show a hold I could see on the defensive holding call in the end done that extended the stand.

NT video Dept... whoever you are... make that series a youtube vid on it's own...

similar to the hit... that stand needs to be available to everyone, whenever they need a pick me up at work

Let's not forget the tremendous hits delivered by the UNT defense. Lee is a human cannonball.

I think the non-holding call to which you guys refer was committed against Zach Orr, not a DB.

Several on here talk about the missed holding calls. They weren't missed. They just simply were not called.

I don't know why CUSA refs hate this team.

The Rice LT big #79 was completely overmatched by the speed and quickness of our ends and he literally held on 90% of snaps it was blatant and obvious and still not being called. Unreal!

so Lee's hit on that last 4th down scramble was the perfect exclamation point to that STAND, but my favorite play was when they tried to option it out (again. I thought they would have learned after the first 2-3 times that it wasn't working for them) to the short side of the field and James Jones slipped around his block, picked up the RB and slammed him to the ground at the 2.

does anyone know how much time the stand took?

I know they had the 8 plays... only 2 on which the play was stopped by incompletions and then one more for a timeout...

but i'm thinking after the initial gain to the 1, they must have wasted about 3 minutes trying to score...

the best part about the stand was that it took 8 plays... yielded no points... and ate up a HUGE amount of clock

The announcers kept saying Lee had concrete in his pads because of the hits, was awesome.

That 8 play series started around the 12:00 mark and ended about 4 minutes later. A lot of time was used for zero points.

I saw some of the replay last night, and the absolute best part of the stand was that after the final tackle Fox Sports zoomed in on the the Rice HC and you can clearly see him say "Well... S**T" with a totally defeated look on his face and you can see an assistant directly behind him tear up a play sheet and throw the pieces in the air.

When I get a chance I'll make a GIF of it.

No, we didn't get called for a defensive penalty till after we held on 4th down the first time. We were called on several penalties earlier in the drive though where it kept the drive alive. We actually bailed them out on about three 4th down plays with penalties (one around mid-feld...one about the 25 or so...and then the goal line).

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
