As for the Texas game...let's get an accounting.
I see an astounding eight drops. Just flat out, ball hit ya right on the hands, straight up dropped. Two would have been touchdowns.
On one of those drops, Ryan Swope actually got pushed out of bounds by his corner and came back in underneath the anticipation throw and he looked like he dropped it on purpose because he knew if he caught it, it would be illegal touching. During the play, Tannehill got pressured and rolled out to his left and actually made a very pretty throw for what should have been a touchdown if Swope had not gone out of bounds and subsequently been forced to drop the ball. Tannehill took a huge shot to the ribs from Keenan Robinson right as he threw it.
On a play that wasn't really a drop, but was still a good throw by Tannehill, Ryan makes the perfect read and decision to throw to Nwachuku's back shoulder, ball is right on the mark in single coverage by Diggs, whose back is turned. Crowd clearly wanted a pass interference flag as Diggs never turned to look back at the ball. Even so the ball was perfect, Nwachuku just needs to adjust out to it and go up and get it. He doesn't.
Similar play, Tannehill threw a timing route to the perimeter on a comeback. On this play Ryan has to throw the ball before Nwachuku has broken. He threw the right depth but Nwachuku didn't come back to the quarterback properly so he had to dive to try and get his hands under it and couldn't.
One additional throw was perfect, and was caught by Jeff Fuller for what should have been a touchdown, but the damn fool stepped out. He could have easily stabbed one foot in bounds. But he didn't.
Yet another play was a perfect throw to Fuller on the quick hitch, which Fuller caught, but he pushed off egregiously before he caught the ball and drew the flag. That penalty of course killed the drive.
One more throw was a great decision by Tannehill to challenge the single coverage on Fuller deep toward the end of the game, Ryan had to deal with pressure before this throw and let it go, was a good ball but Fuller just didn't go up and get it. Not a drop, but not a good play by the receiver, and was a good play by the QB.
There was another throw toward the end just like that, Fuller singled up with Byndom, good ball, Fuller just has to go up and get it which he didn't.
Another throw at the end, good decision and throw by Tannehill but Swope gets tangled up with Vaccaro and isn't able to run out to his spot.
The final play of the game for Tannehill on a two point conversion, he's pressured as he rolls out on a design, accelerates to beat the pressure but he's running out of time as he coasts to the sideline looking for an open man, and as it's a two point attempt and there's no point in just running out of bounds or throwing the ball away, he just tries to rifle it as hard as he can into where some of his receivers are, and a Texas defensive player tips the ball. Not what I would call a bad decision or throw.
I see five throwaways. One on a play when Texas managed to sneak blitzers up the middle untouched up the middle and it was all Tannehill could do to get rid of the ball, another on a pressured play where Tannehill was rolling to the right and just released the ball out of bounds where nobody could grab it, a third on a play action roll where he had a guy in his face immediately and even with his foot speed couldn't get out of danger himself so he had to just hurl it into the stands, and a fourth that happened pretty much exactly like the third. The fifth was with 6 minutes left on 3rd & 14 and the play just wasn't going right so Tannehill threw it toward the back of the end zone where Jackson was supposed to be but wasn't because of physical coverage.
I see two more balls tipped at the line of scrimmage. A third was tipped at the line but it was because Okafor beat the pass protection and hit Tannehill from behind as he threw.
I see a number of bad plays.
1. Tannehill threw the out against the cover two look to his right as the corner buzzed the flat. Earlier on the touchdown drive to start off the game, Tannehill threw one of these to the left because the corner similarly buzzed the flat, leaving this option open and Tannehill was able to throw it before Blake Gideon could get out there. However this time, the safety was smart and faked placement a little toward the middle of the field and then cheated way over to the sideline at the snap, even as Tannehill used his eyes to disguise his intentions by looking off to the left. The safety had bead on where the ball would ultimately go and he came a little too close for comfort to actually being able to intercept it. He didn't, but I think he was able to slightly tip the ball incomplete.
2. He throws deep to Jeff Fuller in single coverage with Carrington Byndom. The decision was good as it was single coverage but Fuller just didn't get any separation. To nitpick, Tannehill could have read the corner leverage and gone more to the inside, but I don't know that it mattered as Fuller was not game for this pass.
3. First interception of the game. Gotta give credit to freshman Diggs on this one. Cover three, Diggs in bail technique the whole time, Tannehill didn't even stare this one down because his eyes were to the left until he flipped over to the right seam to try and get the ball to his seam receiver before Blake Gideon could come down on him. Diggs came out of his zone and crossed over to the seam receiver and undercut him. Great play by Diggs. Tough play by Tannehill. Ryan's thrown plenty of those "what the hell were you thinking?!?" passes (and will throw a few more later in this game) but this was not one of them.
4. Nitpicky but I hold Ryan to a pretty high standard. He's throwing the go route to Jeff Fuller who gets an inside release on Carrington Byndom and actually creates some separation, which Byndom is able to recover in closing, but Tannehill slightly underthrows the pass. Better throw beats good coverage.
5. Under heavy pressure, he rolls out to his right and belts a ball into the end zone about one foot too wide. Receiver got hands on it but would have been a difficult catch. Nitpicky criticism under the circumstances but it still could have been a better throw.
6. With a minute left in the first half, Ryan rolls out to his right on 3rd & 24 looking to release the ball, decides to tuck and run but he should have stayed in bounds. He goes out of bounds and preserves a little bit of time for Texas to get the ball back. Texas didn't take advantage but nonetheless, was a mistake.
7. Real bad decision here, under duress with a five man rush, he throws a ball late over the middle to where the safety had plenty of time to get over, and he was lucky this wasn't intercepted. This wasn't an especially smart play by the defense, this was just a bad decision.
8. Second interception of the game, just another really bad decision by Tannehill who is clearly pressing and getting frustrated by the circumstances that have been dictating the offense's non-success. He progresses over to the slant late, doesn't read the leverage of Fuller's coverage and just throws it out there even though Byndom clearly beat Fuller on the route. Fuller's got to win that route but Tannehill has to not throw it if he doesn't.
9. Final interception. Just did not see Kenny Vaccaro, who was lined up in the slot, running out to play robber on the perimeter. Vaccaro had faked the blitz earlier, leading to an audible. Ryan doesn't see get out there, and Jeff Fuller doesn't come back to the quarterback, easy interception. Plays like these are very frustrating about Ryan Tannehill.
10. Difficult throw, executes a little half-roll to his left and has to reset his feet and get lined up before he can fire the ball out, kind of rushes it and the ball sails on him above Ryan Swope's head. It's actually a credit to Ryan that he does so much of this rolling to his left and throwing the ball, and yet these instances of poor accuracy don't happen that often.
Incidentally Kheeston Randall was a beast in this game, one of the biggest reasons TAMU's offense had to be so one-dimensional and were always stuck behind schedule on the down and distance. Doing a Ndamukong Suh impression, at times.
