Unnecessary penalties, unnecessary injuries and Colt McCoy’s two interceptions in the first half, with the Horns leading Arkansas State just 14 to 3. Not much of a tune-up game, so far.
UPDATE: A shocking game, actually. Horns winning their buy-a-win by only 21-13. Their new offensive line is shaky, the inexperienced secondary is, well, something not much better than last year’s 99th in the nation on pass defense. And McCoy could have had five total picks, if the ASU defenders hadn’t dropped three of them. The daily’s Kirk Bohls predicted Friday they could lose two games this year and only go to the Cotton Bowl. I thought, then, that was pessimistic. But not now. They might lose even more. Texas Christian certainly will have a chance next week.
