22 quick takes in honor of 22 points

Just got back to my hotel outside Baton Rouge. Here’s 22 quick takes in honor of 22 points.

Just like last week, I kept each thought to a sentence or shorter. Hope you enjoy!

1.) Not to be corny, but Texas fight was on full display.

2.) Special teams were very special on Saturday night.

3.) Death Valley is the loudest sports environment I’ve ever been in.

4.) Jelani McDonald, take a bow!

5.) Arch Manning is the first QB to throw three interceptions in a win over an AP-ranked team since … Colt McCoy in Texas’ Big 12 Championship win over Nebraska.

6.) Texas should rest Cam Coleman for the next few weeks and get him fully ready for the playoff.

7.) Felt like Texas didn’t commit to the run enough at times.

8.) More Michael Terry III carries please.

9.) Raleek Brown continues to show up in big moments.

10.) LSU fans do not like Sam Leavitt.

11.) Didn’t love the deep shots to Emmett Mosley, at least in that situation.

12.) I thought Ryan Wingo was underutilized tonight, but still had six grabs, including a crucial catch on the game-winning drive.

13.) Lane Kiffin went conservative, paving the way for the Texas comeback.

14.) Justin Cryer powering through the game after getting injured is an underrated storyline, as he’s the green dot on defense.

15.) LSU has playmakers at WR and TE, and Texas adjusted nicely to takeaway the easy throws in the second half.

16.) Texas’ pass rush made Sam Leavitt very uncomfortable all night.

17.) Weekly Rasheem Biles shout out.

18.) Awesome to see Colin Simmons play the full game, tallying 8 tackles, including half a tackle for a loss.

19.) Need to watch the game again, but the OL actually held up pretty well all things considered.

20.) LSU is probably the best defense Texas will see the rest of the season depending on if UT faces off with Georgia in the SEC Championship or the CFP.

21.) Texas all but punched their CFP ticket if you ask me — five wins over ranked teams this season.

22.) It wasn’t pretty but Arch got the most important stat of all on Saturday — a W.
