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?

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

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.

Just posted a video of "The Stand" to reddit's college football page.

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.

      Next Time…

      All the years we have run that system have not been fruitful, so we just keep doing the same thing? It's fine to take bits and pieces that work, but I would like to see someone outside of this coaching tree. I think it'd actually be a good thing to expand recruiting.

      3-3-5 is Great If…

      I wrote about our version of the 3-3-5 -- which is known either as 3-high, or 3-3-3. I think it has som e interesting things, and that we have improved. I think Texas Tech killed us and made everything we did wrong. https://www.meangreennation.com/publish/post/147907725 The best stuff we did was in the first two drives -- those ones where we still allowed 10-points and they ran with ease. Outside of that I think we were laughed off the field. The scheme can be good and our packaging/prep/personnel bad. Or some other combinations. Last year I thought we didn't have enough talent. This year we level up, but Caponi called a weird game and we were underprepared against a very talented offense with a very talented OC.

      Air Force Serious Target For AAC

      Best Scenario = UNT gets an invite to the PAC12 with Memphis, Tulane, and UTSA and makes the move. Second Best Scenario = UNT, Memphis, Tulane, and USF all stay in the American and Air Force joins to round out the military academies. Even if UTSA or TX State go to the PAC, this American configuration would be arguably on par with that PAC. Worst Case Scenario = UTSA, Rice, Memphis, and Tulane all go to the PAC12, and the American backfills with Air Force Academy and TX State. Things worst case scenario because the PAC will clearly be the “best of the rest” and the next media deal with the American will not be as lucrative.

      3-3-5 is Great If…

      The 3-3-5 should be a situational defense. Not a base defense. Need to be able to be multiple against offenses now. Again, problems arise when you don't have depth players who buy in. Missing on so many transfers that were supposed to help the back half of our defense really hurt us this past weekend, IMO. Whether from injury, legal issues, etc....we are undersized and too slow to play with a Big 12 offense.

      Oregon State AD: Pac-12 will look to add new schools quickly

      Several G5's are going to have to make some difficult choices on football in the coming years. UNT will be okay but schools like Tulsa, UTEP, Ark State, etc. could be forced to shut it down.
