But as far as defense goes, I am unable to point to any decisions by Jay Hill that jeopardized this game.

I saw a handful of plays where a good or at least reasonable defensive scheme was called and the players screwed up/blew their assignments. But I would not put that directly on Jay Hill. To find something, I would have to go back and watch every play and what defense we were running.

What I do know is that it is not difficult to find that on offense. Again, he has some great calls. The offense was great in the first half, the claim is that when it is critical game time, or when the chess match of adjustments needs to be made, A-rod routinely out-thinks himself with some poor decisions at the most critical times. Like Passing on 3rd and 2 when we are trying to run the clock down. That is a huge mistake at a very critical time. It was very reminiscent with passing on 1st and 3 against Oklahoma when we were averaging over 5 yards per rush and ran for over 150 yards by that time in the game (we finished with over 200 yards rushing).

This is not just some fringe thing that only a few people see (makes excellent points here as well): https://youtu.be/5ORXXP8EBCI?t=85

What I do know is that when it came to the most pivotal moments in the game, Baylor had three chances for a game winning drive and they went:

9 plays, 9 yards - Punt
7 plays, 21 yards - Turnover on Downs
2 plays, -10 yards - Interception

Not to mention the defense pretty much gifting the offense 10 points in the first half with their play. If we have any defense from the previous 8 years, we would be 2-3.
