I was unable to watch the game and have only seen the highlights on MGSports...can someone give me a bit of context as to why Rice had so many downs within ten yards of the end zone? I'm assuming they went for it on 4th down and there was a defensive penalty? Legit call?

There was a 4th down penalty. You are correct. The call was made in the end zone against Whitfield. Could have gone either way I thought.

It was a defensive holding call. IIRC, it resulted in the ball being on the 3 due to a half the distance penalty (from the 6).

If it would have been pass interference, I think it would have gone on the 1. At the time, I thought it might be a significant difference. Turns out that it was.

And from the sound of things in that thread, we're not the only ones recently to do this let alone against Rice. I won't disgrace the glory in this thread with the actual video, but the vicious Fightin' Will Muschamps did it five years ago with 11 plays.

Somehow not nearly as exciting. Also, that 8th play technically wasn't a play since it never really happened. Of course that's the play Rice scored but it's called back due to a phantom false start penalty. I didn't see anyone move. Texas may have gotten a big gift from the refs on that one. Why is that not surprising?

I hope the promo guys plan on doing something for the Stand Saturday. Maybe the first time UTEP gets a 1st and goal do a highlight video of the Stand. Regardless, I'm actually excited to see how the crowd reacts the first time there is a goal line situation in this game (assuming there is one). Hopefully everyone goes extra crazy for the first goal line stand.

I'm hoping that schools don't even get a chance at the goal line from here on out

When talking about the 8 play defensive goal line stand, "THE STAND" was referenced on this week's Beyond the Green. GoMeanGreen.com influencing things again?

Also, this thread should be GMG.com HOF first ballot.

Someone with computer artistic talent needs to make a poster with the Mean Green defense in front of the west endzone and big letters across the top "THE STAND"

I'm just the idea man. The artests can make that idea come to life.

There was a guy sitting on the front row of section 106 today. He had on a green T-shirt. On the back it read THE STAND with the date of the Rice game underneath. I never saw it from the front. I want one.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
