If that were to happen, it would result in an epic nationwide case of sports Schadenfreude.
While I'm here, is it too late to crack a joke about Urban's selectively appearing heart condition?
Personally, I blame the offensive line for allowing a safety on the first possession. Keep your shit together on that first drive (even a regular 3 and out), and Tech isn't nearly as juiced during that first quarter. I haven't watched the game at all since it happened. I had to look it up to make sure my memory was correct.
Tech had the ball first. Texas forced a punt, and Tech downed the punt at the 2 yard line. That's awful starting position. One the first play, Chris O apparently went down in the endzone.
All these years later, I had it in my mind that Colt had the ball. But it makes sense that the safety happened on a running play, for if Colt had been throwing, they probably would have advanced the ball between 5 and 95 yards.
The o-line unable to push a running play forward when the team really needed it. It was a harbinger of things to come.
Hypothetical depth chart for Germany.

As a general gripe, anyone wearing a Dortmund jersey other than Reus or Dahoud deserves a big question mark over his head, but based on overall reputation and not just current form, this is still pretty solid.
