There was a 3-way tie. OU got in because of the bs B12 tiebreaker rules.
Why even play the fucking game then? Sure technically I can't guarantee I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning, but I feel very strongly (like 99.9%) that if it comes down to us and Bama, the fact that we actually beat them in a head-to-head game in their stadium will matter.
Going for it on 4th down also resulted in Baxter's long TD run, but no one seems to remember that one. Sark was fine today. Could've managed the clock better (per usual), but no real WTF moments. Turnovers were why we nearly lost the game.
Why did he not call a TO on KSate's missed FG attempt? It ended up benefitting us, but that's basic clock management shit. That said, I didn't think he was that bad today. Turnovers are what nearly (and probably should have) cost us the game.
The next couple weeks won't be easy without Quinn. Would've been nice to have beaten OU and have a mulligan. If we do make it through, the best thing that could happen would be Bama winning the SEC. That would guarantee us a spot. We would get in over a 1 loss ACC champ. A 1 loss P12 champ could go either way. It would probably come down to how Bama finishes. They beat LSU, we probably get in.
It was a 2 score game with an OL that can't get a push and a backup QB who already had 2 terrible turnovers. Taking the points at that point in the game couldn't have been more obvious.
The OL clearly can't execute in short yardage. Challenging them over and over isn't going to fix it. He either needs to change personnel or kick a fucking FG. Banging his head against the wall isn't the answer.
Is running a non-gimmicky defense where players can just be aggressive so much to ask? We've watched Diaz's gator rolls, Orlando's exotic blitzes from 30 yards out, now DE's dropping into coverage.. none of that shit fucking works.
Already posted, but the tiebreaker is some goofy opponents win% bs. Not that it matters. I'm not the least bit concerned about making the CCG (assuming we win, obviously). I'm much more concerned with how the Pac 12 and ACC shake out.
I've wondered if it was all Jimmy Lake at Washington. Babers pointed out that Gabriel is the only quality QB we've faced all season, and he torched us. Other than Bama last year, PK hasn't done shit here.. and who knows what role Patterson played in that.
No excuse not to get to the CCG with the remaining schedule. If Sark can't at least finish second with this team in this dogshit conference, then he clearly isn't the guy.
He's good for at least a handful of wtf play calls every game, and it cost us today. Would much rather have an actual OC calling plays from the booth, but I doubt that'll ever happen. And PK sucks. Legit Taysom Hill flashbacks in this game.
Yeah the color looks fine to me on tv. It's the TEXAS that needs to go back to what it was. The uniform Colt's wearing was perfection, but some idiot at nike just had to fuck with it. Glad we ditched the collar logo and the metallic helmet decal.. now fix the TEXAS.
Glad we finally got rid of the stupid collar logo, but is anyone else by annoyed by the fat/bulky TEXAS font on our current uniforms? Should've never fucked with perfection.
