Colorado Buffaloes @ Texas Longhorns: Game Thread
Posted by Scipio Tex on October 10th, 2009 under Football
Early word is that we’re going to stay vanilla on offense and defense if we can open up a reasonable lead.
My guess is that we gameplanned OU on 50% of our snaps during the bye week.

Just wanted to say I feel for you guys. As a Texas fan I know how this feels even if it’s from a football perspective.
I still think you’re the best basketball team in the country, and unfortunately you ran into a team that packed a Villanova circa 1985 type game today. Meaning they

We really struggled in the first half, but battled through it to get a tough win against Jacksonville. On to Oxford!
Forget what conference they play in, Jacksonville is a very good basketball team, and they got to Lubbock not because of a crazy bank shot at the buzzer in Phoenix, but by playing aggressive, intense defense for

Is there any doubt what the playcall will be when Cody Johnson comes in? Could we not try to be a little creative on offense?
Great catch by Shipley, but our running game pisses me off. And now it’s Chiles and the Wildhorn. D’you suppose that fools anyone? Christ amighty.

Thank god Colt came to his senses and decided not to shovel that ball out to Chiles.
2nd down call was questionable at best. Hope the defense has arrived for this next drive.

Current Texas rushing total: 12 carries, 29 yards.

We’re being outplayed by one of the worst teams in America. I’ve said all year our special teams are a mistake looking for a place to happen.

October 10th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
OK, I think I say this every week, but we are not the #2 team in the country. Can’t run the ball. Special teams provide at least one disaster almost every week. Someone tell the players OU is NEXT week.

Great job by our D. Get Colorado in 3rd and long and you’re in business.

Great pass rush that time.

October 10th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Well we are (mostly) sound on defense. Too bad the other phases of the game have some glaring holes.
Jigglebilly said:

A little struggle this week will be good, rather than mail it in in the 2nd half
ransomstoddard said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Spit, agree. If we are the second best team in the country, its a pretty weak year
parlinhall said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
No worries: Greg Davis is just getting warmed up.
Mister Mike said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Two running plays so far: QB draw, and the zone run. Sweet. Both from the gun. You know, you could throw in a counter here and there just to spice things up a bit.

Just based on my recollection, which is admittedly questionable, we’ve run that play action look about 4-5 times this year and it has been an abject failure every time.

That will be Mack’s explanation. If we’re dumb enough to buy it.

So who’s doing the Post Mortem on this one?

Oh, sorry. Four yards.
My bad, Greg.

And I here I was certain that the first half against Wyoming would be the low point of the year….
HelmetBoy said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Maybe we’re not taking any deep shots b/c Colt gets roughly 1.5 seconds in the pocket every play.

OMG – is that legal?

ou will blanket Ship and Greg’s response will be to throw 3 yard outs to Kirkendoll, the equivalent of a junior varsity player for Westlake
BrickHorn said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Finally. Finally. Jesus H. Christ. It takes GD until the end of the first half to figure out we have these fuckers outmanned? I hate that man like Scipio hates dangling participles.

Greg misread his notebook.
That was supposed to be a run for a loss.
Mister Mike said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Nice statline for Colt though:
21-24, 195 yds and a Touch.
WWGDD said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
and a fumble
The Clapper said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Is it possible that this team is not all that special? Average teams can shut down the anemic run game. After that, it’s not that hard to game plan. They’ve not looked domimant all year except UTEP if you counf that.
parlinhall said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Any guesses as to the nature of Mack’s locker-room speech?
HelmetBoy said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
With the exception of defense, I like last year’s team much better. This team lacks cohesion offensively and that is precisely what you need to execute our gameplan, which is dinking and dunking the ball down the field for 15-20 play scoring drives. There is little margin for error when you make your living doing that and this unit simply isn’t able to execute reliably. How largely the same group of offensive lineman managed to regress so profoundly this year is baffling to me.
Scipio Tex said:
October 10th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
We’re the same offense as last year. Football is dynamic. DCs aren’t obligated to defend us the same way. The film is out there and any fucking moron can construct a game plan to shut down our run game and lull us into passivity and “easy” throws.
Cricketslayer said:
October 10th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Ohhhh, I can’t wait for what GD has in store for the second half (rubbing hands together excitedly.)
ransomstoddard said:

Any touches by Newton or Monroe in the firsthalf, or Fozzy/ No. Because Davis is incompetent

Does Davis bet the opposing team?
The Clapper said:
October 10th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Same O as last year, no Quan factor. No Collins who was coming on at the end. Colt looks like he’s only comfortable with 2 receivers.
johnnymac said:
October 10th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Well, half of our coordinating staff being ready is better than nothing, I guess.
Cricketslayer said:
October 10th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
We might need a defensive touchdown to win this thing. Seriously.

Did you know Colorado has given up 11 plays over 40 yds this year?
Greg Davis didn’t.
johnnymac said:
October 10th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Greg Davis is worried about that Kordell Stewart guy playing QB for the Buffs. He’s playing slow because we can’t afford to score too fast since we have to keep them off the field. He’s thinking 4-5 steps ahead of you pathetic little Barkers.
Vasherized said:

Scip, Mack was just talking about “tendencies” when Monroe comes into the game. He hasn’t figured out whether there are tendencies for the other players.

Toldeo had 624 yards of offense on this crappy team, 315 rushing. Think about that for a moment

That was a catch.
ransomstoddard said:
October 10th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Rich, more importantly, on a campus of 50000 kids, why can’t our coaching staff find someone who can kick the ball in the endzone? Every other team in the country can. It’s just baffling

And there’s the risk inherent to throwing 45 times a game. And why adult offensive coordinators develop running games.
RichUT said:

So we turned Chiles into a WR just so we can throw him 4 slip screens per game? Does he know any ohter routes?
Fuck me. Catch the damn ball.

He should worry more about the nepotism that will get his ass fired this offseason than the refs.
Oooooh, option look Shocked that it didn’t work better.

You really think we have more than one flavor of offense? We don’t. We just have one, and it sure as hell doesn’t taste as good as vanilla.

Parlinhall, you’ve got it all wrong. Let Johnson run the Wild Horn.

Yeah, am I to understand that Chiles won a starting position because of his ability to run one fucking play?

A one yard pass. Davis just came.

I hope that Garrett Gilbert learns how to be hyper-mobile so Davis can dump our only shot at offensive balance on his shoulders.
Anyone remember what our running game looks like with a pure pocket passer? If not, just know that it makes tonight’s performance look like the ‘95 Huskers. I’m eagerly awaiting The Transition.

I remember what our “running game” (I use that term loosely) looked like at the tail end of the ‘99 season. I hope next year’s version doesn’t turn into that.

Well, our teams seems to play to the level of the opposing team – at least in the first half. Second half they turn it on. Hopefully the team plays well enough next week to keep it even going into half time, then turns it on again.
I feel bad for Colt. GD hasn’t adjusted a thing from last year. And about 3 of Colt’s picks have come off of tips from receivers.
And can we get an offensive line that can run block?
I no longer feel good about this year. Well, I think we can win out, but it will be on the D and ST to take us there. Hopefully they O will click along the way, but I’m not holding my breath.

October 10th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
I was talking about the team as a whole. But yes, our O needs to improve. Drastically.
Scip, do you think this is predominately GD not adjusting, the o-line not blocking, or the receivers not being as good as needed? And yes, I know maybe it is a combination of all three, but what is the biggest factor going on here?

I’m beyond livid at our offense (i.e., Greg Davis). That was one big barrel full of steaming shit out there tonight. Thank God we have a defense full of guys who arrive at the ballcarrier in a foul mood and a kick return game that can break it at any time. The continued struggles of our O is completely inexcusable. You seriously mean to tell me that the same CU defense that grabbed their ankles and profferred their anuses for TOLEDO’s pleasure limited us to under 2 yards a carry??? Really? This is a joke. Our OL is performing like a bunch of pussies, and our collection of so-so RBs has absolutely no field vision. Of course it all comes back to GD and his horizontal game plan.
Very frustrating to see Colt struggle like he has. He has exactly one target (JS) he knows is going to get open and catch the ball no matter where he puts it. Everybody else, it’s a total crapshoot. These guys can’t get open half the time and they don’t fight for the ball. I have a lot of hope for Buckner, but he was wasted tonight in Davis’ abortion of a gameplan. Why in the HELL can we not successfully run 15-20 yard slants, skinny posts, hitch-and-gos, etc.?? I swear I’ve seen lots of other teams execute these plays perfectly — teams we can wipe our asses with on a daily basis. Are our receivers truly that limited? True, the way our OL is performing, Colt doesn’t have time to deliver a ball any deeper downfield than the 3-8 yards we’re getting, but sweet Lord! Watching our offense is a study in frustration.
We should’ve facefucked CU’s D tonight, and the fact that we didn’t even come close to doing that is a very ominous sign for us going forward. Our D is so badass that we’re going to be in every game, but if we keep playing like this on offense, we’re not going undefeated.
Oh, while I’m in full rant, somebody better go beat the shit out of our punter and tell him to cut this angled rugby shit out, especially to his left. A 5-yard punt?! You kidding me!? And I know this has been debated at length, but it continues to happen and there’s no excuse for it — unless you’re kicking off into a stiff wind, there’s NO EXCUSE for not putting the ball in the fricking end zone. Every time. If the guy we have can’t do it, cut him and find somebody who can.
Fuck you, Greg Davis.
Chooky said:
October 10th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
You’re totally on point, Sasha, in terms of the offense. But it’s not so much that we “take over” or “turn it on” in the second half as it is that our opponent’s depth gets depleted and even our shitty, anemic and mind fuckingly dull running game even starts to look good. That didn’t happen tonight, though.
Even Wyoming was able to thwart Davis’ ground game, not to mention his entire offense for the duration of the first half. Apparently that state is quite capable when it comes to recording game footage
To think that OU doesn’t have the horses to completely stymie our running game would be silly for us all. If you are capable of running at full speed, any speed really, and stand in one place, you’d also be a key component to shutting down this rushing attack.
And don’t allow anyone to convince you that we were sandbagging our package for OU. We’ve seen it too many times, like every year that Davis has sat his fat, Red Man Chew-spitting-into-an-empty-Dr. Pepper-container ass in Austin. The only change of pace we’ll see next week will be a pump-fake to the hitch and a throw deep. Also, Colt will be running everytime he sees open space.
Davis’ complete incomprehension of a running game has been evident since he became Mack’s BFF at Tulane.
When facing even remotely competent defenses while at UNC you saw many games similar to tonight: thirty to forty yards rushing with around twenty-five carries.
He brought his a-game to Texas and once went -13 total yards rushing once.
Over the years I’ve looked around and have seen a lot of coordinators that I certainly would not rather have than Davis. I’ll leave it at that for the sake of positive energy.
As for the rest of the season, I hope that we once again fall back into being fortunate for quarterback performance that exceeds an obscenely miraculous and statistically historic level.
stuckinmn said:
October 10th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Well, that game did absolutely nothing to alleviate my pre-OU Greg Davis Stress Syndrome. So now that our offense had a net gain of 10 points (I’m docking them -7 for the fumble at the 5) to a defense that was slower than my high school team’s D, can I officially be worried?
Travis said:
October 10th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Our offense has taken about 5 steps back from last year, but our Defense has taken 10 steps forward, OU’s Offense was the best offense ive ever seen last year, and we all saw what happened when it met a real defense in florida. I can’t remember the last time we had a “good” win before OU week.. I would rather have the offense hearing how shitty they are then hearing how great they are, going into next week. They always do better when they are doubted. The play calling was absolutely horrible, the idea that we need to keep the defense honest by running is a joke, because we cant run whatsoever so all its doing is wasting half of our offensive plays and not allowing Colt to stay in any type of rthym, You can’t expect Malcolm to be a superstar or even just productive if they don’t let him stay out there longer than one play every 10 minutes.. I guess I’m just a homer but, you have to be able to win ugly and just find a way to get it done, that 02′ Buckeye team won ugly every single week, and they found a way to beat a miami team that was WAY better than they were. All we have to do is win, just keep winning and we will get our shot, this defense is good enough to carry Greg Davis. We aren’t the second best team in the country right now, but none of that matters because if we continue to win; ugly or pretty it makes no difference. We’ll be #2 when the rankings do count.
I’ll say it again this team has huge upside, they have played downright fugly at times and beautiful at others and noone has been able to stay on the field with us, if we can find away to put some type of offense on the field with this Defense that we’ve got, its gonna be fun to watch folks.

I find myself looking forward to the retirement of the best coach we’ve had in a long, long while solely so that I don’t have to watch Davis preside over a steaming, rancid excuse for an offensive gameplan again.
stuckinmn said:
October 10th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I actually had the same thought tonight as Henley that Mack leaving would not be such an awful thing. The recruiting would inevitably have to drop off, but having a well coached team with a good game plan on both sides of the ball might just more than make up for it.

It very well could, but it doesn’t have to. The program essentially recruits itself at this point. Keep on winning and someone with the personality of Mike Sherman could easily rake in top 10 recruiting classes at UT.
Additionally, we’ve got a great recruiting head coach right now but not a great recruiting staff. Muschamp could easily upgrade the recruiting ability among the assistants. In fact, he’d be hard pressed not to if he makes any changes at all. Not being so conservative in recruiting strategy will help as well, assuming Muschamp chooses to go that route.

something’s wrong w/ colt. he sucked his soph year because the coaching staff said they entrusted too much decision making to him. last year they simplified things and he was kick ass. and then the talk about this year was to allow colt to make more decisions. if that’s the case, it aint working. i find it hard to believe that losing one receiver (quan) can fuck up an offense this bad. the O is an abortion.
and surely it can’t be all greg davis. colt has 5 fucking receivers to choose from. are you telling me that every play calls for colt to throw a 3 yard out? surely it’s got to be colt deciding not to throw downfield, or our fucking receivers are just not getting open. who knows but fuck, throw the fucking ball downfield.
and i agree with bruce matthews. our o line coaching fucking sucks. it’s a fucking travesty that we have this championship caliber defense and have a mickey mouse fucking offense coached by the biggest fucking thief in div 1 football.
we are in for a smooth butt fucking by ou next week. bradford looked relatively good today, and by that i mean that he was completing throws beyond 6 yards. our d is championship caliber, but even they can’t be expected to win every fucking game for us. the O, colt and greg davis better figure shit out this week.
ahh fuck, who am i kidding. these are the same fucking complaints that we’ve had for 12 years. nothings gonna change.

It’s hard for Colt to throw a long ball when Greg Davis is calling horizontal routes that pack all of the receivers into a nice, small, easy to cover section of the field. Nobody has, not even fucking Wyoming, respected the deep threat, because with GD calling shit there isn’t one. The only thing Colt needs to change is to say fuck Greg Davis and start calling the plays at the line. It makes it tough to have a run game too when A) the O-line apparently only works on chinese fire drills in practice, and B) GDs awesome, squeeze our entire offense into a 20 yard slice of the field, game plan has every defender on the fucking team 5 steps from the line of scrimmage. I’m with the rest of the you praying for Mack to retire so Coach Boom can bring somebody that has a pair into the OC position. I refuse to believe 313 yard against the Colorado-fucking-Puffs is indicative of the level of talent we have, it’s purely coaching that will fuck us out of a NC.

We just played fucking CU, a doormat of the Big 12 and won big because our players are just so much better and our ST and D is so good that we don’t really even need an offense. That fucker is sick I tell you.
All I can say is he better unleash hell come Oct. 17 and all of this will be forgotten.
