Orakpo drew a hold on the second play of the game. I wept a little. Maybe we should join the Pac-10.
Pryor is faster than he looks. Or Muckelroy isn’t.
3 and out on our first drive. That’s a bad sign. We did have a good run though, which is a good sign. Great punt, too. I hope it’s all defense and punting.
tOSU can’t get any push but we can’t rush the passer. Pryor won’t have any trouble dodging one guy. I’d just to blitz but they have tall, fast receivers and an athletic QB. Puts you in a bind.
Gideon sure likes to get juked, doesn’t he.
We have a great pass rush. It’s weird to me. But our two worst players are killing us so far. I don’t think Boeckman will survive if they use him because he’ll have to be alert for two guys way faster than he is.
The first item on any Texas scouting report is “Expect run on second down.” Second is “Blitz. A lot.”
That’s going to happen if we don’t try to stretch the field eventually. tOSU covers too well underneath. We can’t be running to the flat, even on short yardage downs. If you let them play man they’ll get all up in your business. Show some balls!
I’m glad Pryor runs out of bounds 10 yards before he has to after we blow 6 tackles. It would be ugly otherwise.
Someone tell me why Russell Shepard can’t play QB?
Our LBs are invisible. They’ve never had to play gap defense or take angles before and you can see they are struggling with it. It’s all about the DL tonight.
Bad snap and it ruined the kicker’s flow. Lucky break for us. Hopefully Muschamp pulls out a tackling dummy or something.
Cosby’s catch to end the quarter was an audible. You can tell because everyone else runs the play.
So far I don’t think we’ve thrown it farther than 5 yards downfield but once. End of quarter.
More dinking and dunking. Greg Davis would make an excellent limit poker player, though he’d telegraph his hands a lot.
2nd down run are averaging roughly 0.0 yards so far. That’s a ballpark.
I’m not saying Texas should come out and just bomb everything down the field. But at some point you have to force one just to show the other team that you will. And by bomb I mean a 10 yard pass.
We are still bad at defending screens. Everyone wants to kill the QB. It’s like tricking a shark into a cage with chum. Our ends aren’t playing the run very well, either. It’s hard to switch back to run first though.
The LBs have no idea what they’re doing. This was my worry. They are 2008 defenders, not 1988 defenders. Ohio State runs their offense based on a playbook Woody Hayes left behind.
Still can’t tackle Pryor. This is a little embarrassing. For them, not me. I can tackle. Unless I’m mistaken, there were only two completions this drive, a screen and a 2 yard curl. Scrambling QBs dominate.
Penalties are our best defense so far. Like 2006 A&M. Omen?
Beockmen returns, gets clobbered, incomplete. Why is he playing.
You can’t throw a screen when you aren’t throwing with any distance. I know this. My dog knows this. He just rolled his eyes.
Two open throws in the middle of the field. Our game plan will draw LBs closer to the line, that’s for sure. Keep doing that, make the LBs drop, then you can worry about screens.
I don’t like 5 wide in long yardage. It’s too easy to force a quick throw, and against good tackling teams it’s just a bad idea. Good thing we’re not playing one.
I bet we bitch out on the 4th down but I hope not. Balls!
Balls! Should’ve bitched out. You know you can’t run out of every situation, Colt.
Oklahoma argued that they were a better team now. They aren’t. But we have gone way backwards. Lost the balance that made our offense work. We’re relying on Colt too much now.
He may not have a Heisman, but Colt does not have the record for most roughing the passer penalties in a year, breaking his own record of 257 from last year.
When did Limas Sweed put on Chris O’s jersey?
Quan is just a great college football player. Probably no an NFL future and he isn’t a deep threat but there isn’t a more important player to the team after Colt.
I almost wrote “Are we going to drive the field in under a minute?” but I didn’t because every time I predict something it doesn’t happen. Looks like it’s a brain power and not an actual typing thing.
Half.
Barry Switzer and Eddie George are on the halftime show. It’s like all of college football wanted to kick us in the nuts this year. I can’t wait for the ‘09 Mack Revenge tour where we start kneeling with 7 minutes left instead of 11. Take that, Wyoming!
I missed the start of the 3rd because I couldn’t stomach the halftime. But I did get to see the missed 3rd and 1. I am cursed. The only two plays of the second half I saw against Tech were the drop and the TD.
Fake! Balls! Spot is right on the Tostitos Xtreme Jalapeno Corn Chip Xtra First Down Yellow Corn Line Brought To You By Sears Line.
Eventually people like Charlie Tanner are going to be replaced by people like Michael Heuy and we won’t have to fake punts anymore.
Let’s fake two punts. That would be fun. No comment on the play before.
In the future, when all of us are gone, they will call roughing the passer “The McCoy.”
Great call on the QB draw and that might be the nicest one of those we’ve ever run. Colt’s spin actually worked for once.
OSU is having great success letting the DEs run up the field and running inside of the crease. The OLBs are playing poorly but that just makes it harder. I can’t tell who Muschamp is expecting to deal with that because nobody is there.
Terrell Pryor looks like Michael from the wire.
Beanie Wells’ picture looks like a mugshot, and Colt’s looks like the tourist he killed.
Colt’s completion percentage dropped as the season went on and teams started forcing throws to other non-Quan and Shipley receivers. Quan has some major league hands.
Running away from tSOU’s linemen is a littler different then running away from A&M’s.
The OL is getting abused after a god stretch of not getting abused.
The downside of the rugby punt is having it caught. Lots of running room.
Roy Miller just blasted through 3 people and ruined that play. I don’t think he gets enough respect. I legitimately fear losing him. I haven’t heard much from Andre Jones lately, so I wonder how much he’ll give us next year in Miller’s place.
Another punt. He’s going to be our head coach soon. That makes me feel warm. That and the hobo wine.
tOSU’s defense is worn out after playing for 7 grueling minutes tonight and guys are starting to come open.
The hurry-up is allowing us to unfurl a little bit. We’re moving the ball well and tOSU can’t do a thing against it. The game is moving at a pace in which Tressell’s sweatervest may burst into flame.
I think Roy Miller is timing the snap. He used the same move on that sack that he did to blow up that earlier play. Squatty powerlifters didn’t used to move like that back in my day.
I think an OSU WR makes a diving catch once per game. It’s in their TV contract.
Hartline broken up the INT and displayed better ball skills than anyone on our team. Meanwhile Roy Miller has decided to be unblockable.
More like Jordan Shifty amiright?
We’re in a good rhythym right now. We’re attacking different areas of the field and we’re doing it quickly and efficiently. Colt is back his old self . . . I say as he fumbles the ball. Near disaster. Losing yardage is really the death knell of an offense like ours. Colt’s never balanced his scrambling and throwing the ball away very well.
Pryor just got lucky as hell on a floater. tOSU is staying in this by the skin of their teeth.They are reviewing it so I’m going to go take a shower.
The pass rush is taking hold now. I think if tOSU jsut ran 50 QB draws in a row they’d get like 700 yards.
They are just bringing in Boeckman to run two plays — something deep and a curl or out under deep coverage.
Texas must have collectively bet on tOSU tonight. The last 5 minutes haven’t gone well for them.
Gideon.
Texas is 14 points better and up by 2 right now, pending the PsAT. Lots of turnovers, penalties, and drive ending mistakes.
Good pressure again. Pryor shorts it when he has guys in front of him like the puss he is. He’d be better of just running.
I would pay money to see Pryor and Beasley in an MMA fight. I think there would be 13 slaps then someone would start crying,
The second half has gone as such that I’m not even the slightest bit nervous. I don’t think it’s hit me yet that it’s a 2 point football game with 7 minutes left.
3 and out on the biggest drive of the game. Pryor has a poor record in these situations, but honestly he shouldn’t even be in it. We don’t have a closer on offense. We do on defense but Pryor’s speed negates them.
That was a weird fumble, not that it matters now. I just hope we let OSU score quickly. Nice tackle Rodderick.
I count 5 RBs for OSU in the last decade named Wells.
11-2 is not so bad, considering.
Texas should let them score here. Not kidding. We lose if we stop them.
Looks like Texas got the memo. In other news, nice last ten minutes, crew.
Offsetting PI? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
OSU TE’s have a bad habit of dropping stuff in the endzone against us.
Colt McCoy just tried to throw a hot read through 3 people in a line from Colt to Shipley. Something tells me they were prepared for that.
Not sure what happened on that spot but the refs missed it early on. Kirkendoll pretty clearly had it. I’d be pissed if I was Tressell, too, though.
When tOSU’s fans were cheering when they scored, I was thinking that they were being a bit premature. Since there is like 5% internet penetration in Columbus I will have to die knowing I can never say “I told you so.”
Also, Colt to Quan. Apropos.
Oh wait, we still have to defend a kickoff. Shit. From our own 15. This has potential.
That mullet guy is going to be photoshopped like 700 times this week.
tOSU only needs like 30 yards. Not out of the question. That penalty may end up hurting.
Orakpo. Apropos.
We live with Colt to Quan and a pass rush. tOSU died with it.

Doc, the turnovers seemed to do the trick – there were great big chunks of time when Mizzou didn’t even have to get into a half court offense.

“Also because those other teams gave great effort almost every game. This team’s effort was questionable. Dumb and lazy, not a good combo…..”

Travis Ford spent the 2nd half channeling his inner Rick Barnes — lot’s of standing around on offense while one player tries to generate something off a ball screen — then taking a forced shot.
So the Big 12 goes 5-2 in Round One.

To sum up the first half:
Our Defense is brain dead and too slow to contain Pryor.
We are getting destroyed on both lines.
Somebody abducted Rod Muckelroy and subsituted Pee Wee Herman in his uniform.

Bubble screen or bust tonight. Greg Davis is killing our d the flood gates might open up with our defense not getting rest because colt and GD are unwilling to throw it deep unless it is to a running back?Wtf? Also minus 2 rushing?
exuLt said:
January 5th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Been keeping track. 2nd down = throw 2 out of 5. ‘Course one of those was a run for no gain on 1st down.
I’ll say again, GD has never met at 1st down marker he didn’t like, tho in all fairness, Ohio State defense is not allowing enough time for much else. The Colt throw to Kirkendoll(?) was the exception. That’s one.
C’mon halftime adjustment.
What’s with this obsession with Colt’s girlfriend? She looks a little hard to me.

Eyes,
I actually thought our front 4 have been doing decent but our LBs have taken a page out of Bobino’s 2007 playbook and just velcro’d themselves to the first blocker they’ve seen.

The LBs are strugging. They are having to do stuff they aren’t used to, like be linebackers. That one run where Muck took the wrong gap is a great example. That’s an obvious bad LB play from him.

Through the 1st half of the Fiesta Bowl the only aspect of this game that sucks worse than the UT offense is the FOX network. They have missed at least 4 plays in the 1st half. Beyond a playoff system can we stipulate that the broadcasting network be qualified?

Yes. I’ve also watched B12 defensive lines.

Great adjustments by the Texas coaches to give McCoy some quicker routes. That delayed crossing route was taking too long to develop.

All in all a horribly called game. I am not familiar with this crew, but they sucked.
Of course I’d sense bias, but my non-Horns friends here (hence my need to comment here tonight during the most tense moments of the game) said it before I had the guts to.

We played like hammered dog shit, Colt picked a hell of a time for his worst game of the season, and we still won a BCS game.
The AP title was never a realistic possibility. The win is what we needed and we got it. I’m not thrilled with the performance, but the end result is just fine.
Maybe the BCS gods will start smiling favorably on us after we supply our 3rd exciting finish in 3 trips. This was by far the worst-played of the three, but still.

Hello youse guys. Jim Tressel’s phone here.
Jim doesn’t have AT&T, and so no bars here at University of Phoenix Stadium.
If Jim did, he’d have gotten the call that Greg Davis is a f-ing idiot. And Sweater Vest Boy could have crammed it up Bevo’s ass. But no, he didn’t get that call, and instead the Longhorns managed to have a horrible game plan for the entire 1st half, a suspect 4th quarter, and still beat The Ohio State University.
Maybe next time Jim.

We finish 4 or 5 in the BCS behind BCS winner, Utah, USC, and possible BCS loser.
When do they losers at OSU get the pretentious “the” taken away from their sorry asses. They don’t count outside the bush league Big 10.

Dear James Kirkendoll,
Quan Cosby will get all the glory for that final TD, but stretching the ball out beyond the sticks on that 4th down play was so unbelievably clutch it makes my balls hurt. I can’t wait to watch you play for the next 3 years. Please teach Blake Gideon how to play football during spring practice.
Love,

I haven’t read the thread, yet. I just want to offer props to Colt McCoy. I never dreamed he would be good enough to overcome the abject incompetence of Greg Davis on the big stage the way Vince did. But Colt has proven me wrong. We could possibly win a MNC with him in spite of Davis. It will difficult, but I actually think Colt can do it, now.
Hook ‘em!

Flashbacks to Lubbock as far as I’m concerned. Poor first half, no running game, untimely interception throw by Colt-but, this time we only left them with sixteen seconds. The loss to Tech and tonight’s performance(with a great assist from GD) confirm we are a top 5 team, but probably deserved where we ended up. Much better end result than anyone could have ever imagined in August. Credit the team and most of the coaches for a job well done. Need to find some d lineman, a running game and more offensive audible calls for next year.

DBH, I’m not sure. I would definitely be sure if we had won this game by 20…but GD GD called plays like a gigantic fuckstick in the first half, and it damn near cost us the game. Trying to establish the run with C.O. in the first half caused me to drink way more Crown than I was prepared to drink on a Monday night. If we had the same gameplan in Dallas on 10/11, we would have lost by 20.
I think Colt can do it next year, but he will need tremendous help from the defense. Losing 3/4 defensive linemen, we will need help. Our sacks next year will have to morph into the coverage sack variety, and folks like A. Williams, C. Scott, and B. Wells will have to learn the fucking plays so they can get on the field.
I’m very happy with the win, but pissed that we didn’t have a better game plan.
GD gets a D- and Muschamp gets a B-.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Mack Brown knows for a fact that UT would be an unstoppable monster winning every game, every year, by 20 points if he fired Greg Davis and replaced him with the dolphin from the first Ace Ventura movie. Due to his incredible sense of fairness, he refuses to do so. Kudos, Mack.
Brian Orakpo is the answer. What was the question? Doesn’t matter. Brian Orakpo IS. THE. ANSWER. Double team with only a three man rush? Brian Orakpo. World hunger and poverty? Brian Orakpo.
Should OU do something wildly unexpected and win, any win over Florida would be enough to prove that OU was the better team by the end of the year. Had UT flat out dominated Ohio State, I would honestly be ok with a split championship.
However, since OU still has Venables coaching the defense, I am fully prepared to watch Florida whip OU stupid with more creative schemes and plays making any such argument unnecessary.

Props to this Texas team. This senior class is a special group. We will miss Roy more than people know particularly since we have zero depth and experience. Quan is the man. Our DLine is incredible and we will miss all of those guys. Colt is the man. Our receivers are a talented group.
We need to find some Linebackers. One particular offensive lineman should not be playing as much as he is and there is a certain db that has turned into another Reed Boyd. Do I really have to watch him for three more years? I’m sorry to say but his cult of followers needs to look at his play objectively. Let’s find a way to get our best players on the field back there. If it means playing Aaron Williams at safety so be it.
Need to improve our running game and find a way to get Malcolm Williams involved. He is too talented not to get more touches and throws than that.

t1climb1 said:

Malcolm Williams should see the field a lot next year. He is the second coming of TO (strictly speaking about his play on the field) and the piece that this offense has been looking for.

uthookem,
I’m under no illusions that it will be easy! The odds are still against him, and it could still come down to which team has the ball last and having enough clock to get it done. But Colt showed me he’s got the ‘nads and the talent. Maybe as a senior, he’ll just ignore GD when he needs to, like Major did!

According to ESPN, Colt completed over 80% of his passes tonight. That’s over 80% of his passes against a very good Ohio State defense. I’m impressed. He made some mistakes, but he didn’t let them carry over to the rest of the game. Great to have a leader like that running our team.

A phrase we’ll never have to hear again: “Linebacker Aaron Bobino took a bad angle…”
Thank God we won. My brother said he was so disappointed in our play that he wouldn’t have felt much different if we’d lost. I had to take a more magnanimous approach.
If we’d lost that stinker of a game, I’d have been both despondent and furious, to say nothing of posting everywhere I possibly could about the need to have Greg Davis defenestrated.

Pretty staggering when you think that this offense despite the uninspired play calling at times, the minus 41 yards in losses on the ground, and the missed passes (i.e. Malcolm Williams deep behind the Buckeye corner) Texas still had 33 first downs, 87 snaps, 72 rushing yards, 414 passing yards, and 486 total yards against a very good, aggressive, talented defense.
Oh, and it is possible to trade secondary coaches because those db’s at Ohio State can tackle.

. . . And no how to play zone and bump and run. I was impressed with the back seven from tOSU all night. If Heacock had not blitzed linebackers all night and let those guys drop into the passing lanes, we would have had more problems.
