But weren't the Aggies leaving too?
No they left a year later.

the Sooners actually had more penalties than the Huskers in their come from behind win the the champ game

Penalties-Yards.......... OU 6-47      UN 3-15

different crew I'm guessing

maybe Pelini did bring all of that on himself in Collie Station?

That 2010 is well remembered in Aggieland and that team was close to winning the Big 12 save for a loss at oSu. 

As I recall Pellini was quite the jackass, more so than usual, and kinda got more flags tossed as a result.

oh Bo is a jackass, but after a few really bad calls, he decided it didn't matter if he held back

he certainly didn't help his cause, never did, but he never came close to 16 penalties before or after

it's the first time I ever thought the zebras were consciously trying to throw a game

Huskers came in #9 after their only other reg season loss.  Possibly Bo's best team.

Another cursed loss to the Horns
Garrett Gilbert runs for 71 yards and Taylor Martinez runs for 21

4 penalties for the Horns, 10 for the Huskers, playing in Lincoln

College GameDay is heading back to Austin, Texas for a matchup between the Longhorns and TCU. The crew makes its return trip to the Lone Star State with major College Football Playoff implications on the line.

TCU is a perfect 9-0 on the season, fighting for a spot in the playoff for the first time in program history. And with losses by Clemson, Tennessee and Alabama looming, their odds look better than ever if they can win out.

Obviously, that starts in Austin, which has already hosted the crew before in Week 2 when the Longhorns took on Alabama.

Somebody's gotta do something about this team when they get up big.  Keeping a foot on a throat must be a learned art, and Sark needs to figure out how to teach it.

One big reason the Horns stoped scoring in the 2nd half was the play calling

Sark let up on the gas

not sure why

way too much time left to pull that crap unless Ewers was hurt and Ive not read anything to point to that

Risk mitigation is tough to learn. At Bama, Sark could keep calling running plays on 3rd and 2 when the defense showed 9 in the box. Bama's road graders could simply clear out and get 4.
Texas has that as a goal, and they're laying the pieces for it (and taking away Bama's at the same time), but it isn't there yet. He's going to have to get more comfortable with taking what the defense gives.

Perhaps something disastrous would have happened, but KSU was begging Ewers and Sanders to finish them off. Using a Karic/Sanders or Billingsley/Sanders grouping to show power then spring a seam route would have earned a jogging TD. You're risking that against an incompletion and clock-stop or an INT.

Using the best RB in college football to take the air out of the ball with a large lead is a valid strategy. You can't do it against 1st and 15 or 20 though. The pre-snap jumping and (randomly called) holding penalties have to stop. After week 10, it's time to show the discipline needed to stay in your set.

Texas is giving its opponent hope and reason to stay competitive. Another TD early in the 2nd half easily puts them in panic mode (which usually leads to more easier TDs). Cleaning up the mistakes and eating a bit more risk would make the job lots easier.
