So, your worried that your team will win, but not cover the spread?
Ha. If only. Our opponent is tougher than PSU's, ND's, and OSU's, so a Wisconsinward shift of 10ish in the spread is the difference between win and loss. Of course, these things are half-superstitious. But the other half is that, clearly, predicting football games is very very hard. That's the part that's sticking with me.

Well announcers and Mike Pierera think it shouldn't just be upheld, but confirmed, so surely the booth will overturn it.

I have a hard time getting a handle on PSU.
I have an equally hard time getting a handle on 2018-McSorley.

His OL isn't doing him a ton of favors.  Getting more pressure with 4 than I've seen all year.  He's throwing into 7 man coverages with a guy in his face most of the time.

Lewerke seems to have no grasp of the fact that the field has width and length.  He throws short passes all the way across the field like they are dump offs

How is that not reviewed?  Second turnover the refs have stolen.

Texas misses a short FG.  Still up 23-17 over Baylor.

It's maddening how often that particular error happens. I'm not an insider; don't actually know how it is, but I am guessing that whereas the review room needs to be militarily regimented (alert, rigorous, fast), it generally feels like they're lounging ("oh, what?, should I call down, let me look, hmm ... oops they snapped").
I hear that job goes to retirees. Maybe they are great and I am undervaluing. But the symptoms and that fact does not inspire confidence.
