That’s like saying it was a good bluff after seeing the river card in poker. No one is on his ass for the delay of game due to no timeout. Subbing late in the play clock against a coach who always subs his guys after just to fuck with the rhythm is the crime. He was guilty of it regardless. Fucking so stupid it’s incredible. We don't know the results of play. K state wasn't really defending it because the whistle blew. I do think, based on alignment, we were in a good position. But I don't really mind the timeout there. What we did after the timeout is completely different.

Not winning by 35 last night with the talent advantage is criminal. The fact that PK hasn't been reassigned or fired is criminal. The 2nd half only scoring 3 for the 2nd time in a row after scoring nearly every drive in the first half is criminal. The timeout on 3rd down when the snap gets off anyway because you don't trust your players and you decided to substitute late and you know that kstate does the late sub thing because klieman knows the fucking rules of football and has done it on film before is criminal. This team is built to and wants to win. They are the best football team we have had in a long while, but this coach is fucking dogshit. I am very happy we won. What are people expecting from the defense? They gave up 10 points in the first half. Then the offense shit the bed in the second half - committed turnovers, penalties, and couldn't move the ball - and the defense gave up all of 17 points in the second half. We held Kansas St. below their season average - while the offense did everything in their power to lose the game in the second half. We had phantom Facemask penalties called and there was holding all night - but people want to blame the defense for this game? Edited November 6, 20223 yr by Hiphopopotamos
November 6, 20223 yr Whats funny is that s&p has this defense as #21 in the country the problem with this team is that when one side of the ball is playing great, the other side rarely is
November 6, 20223 yr We weren't shut down as to gaining yards the second half as I recall. We just didn't score. I will say that I absolutely hate that third or fourth and a yard has to be mano a mano rush the middle of the line test of manhood. Try a fucking tight end pass every once in awhile to at least make them think. Earl could get that for you everytime but just about nobody else. Let James Brown call fourth down plays via text to the booth.

It was one of our better second half's yardage wise considering we only had 5 possessions - the problem was that they kept shooting themselves in the foot either with pre-snap penalties, or turnovers, or play-calling (or Quinn making poor decisions).
November 6, 20223 yr Having Neyor available this year would have made a huge impact on the offense. Whether the defenses are keyed in on Worthy or he's just having a shitty game, another deep threat of his caliber would give defenses too much too worry about on the back end and keep boxes even lighter up front for Bijan and RoJo to exploit.

Otherwise, I have my doubts.
November 6, 20223 yr Texas' Defense was 14th in DFEI, 29th in ESPN FPI, and 16th SP+ coming into yesterday's Kansas St. game. They're giving up just under 10ppg fewer than last season. Yes - the third down efficiency is frustrating - but overall this is a much improved and very capable defense.

I wish they could find a way to get Sanders more involved when we go 'ball control / bleed the clock'. I feel like they use him early and then once a defense starts to account for him we all but give up on him (but I have no idea if actual game stats support this).

November 6, 20223 yr We have lost plenty of games the way the same way KSU lost yesterday. The opponent builds a large lead and our rally falls just short (likely due to a turnover). Ehlinger, Casey T, all have done it. So it's not a terrible way to win. 2005 Horns blew out everyone on their schedule, we're far from that level and have been for a while. Enjoy the tough road win people, why we pouting 😾

I don't know if Jamison always plays the way he did yesterday, but I'm thinking addition by subtraction if we can portal in a quality corner.

November 6, 20223 yr When you're up 3 TDs I expect better use of the play clock. Infuriating to watch and know we're going into a fetal position, but snapping the ball with 25-30 on the play clock. There lots of ways to tire a Defense, and having the D-Line sit in a 3-4 point stance for 20 seconds is one way. Snapping the ball early gives the other team extra possessions every F'N time.

Kansas St started that drive with over 10 minutes on the clock and kicked off to Texas after the FG with fewer than 4.5 minutes left.Yes they gave up a ridiculous 3rd &9, then a ridiculous 4th down conversion, had penalties give up a first down, and then had a couple of plays where they looked like Larry, curly, and mor trying to tackle. Once they gave up the whole field and KSt was in the red zone, they played better and forced a fg.
November 6, 20223 yr Hey guys. We held onto a double digit lead instead of falling apart as we did vs. Alabama, Texas Tech and Oklahoma St.. This was a good win.

Well who is responsible for getting the team to this point? Team is young and they have issues executing consistently especially in the second half. I think some of you expect Sark to go out there and execute for the players.

Literally the last offense in the country you want to give any time to work with and we were throwing the ball and snapping it with > 20 seconds on the play clock up a touchdown with about 2:30 left in the 4th. We haven’t had a coach who understood clock management since Mack Brown.

But 2008 Mack’s team was snapping it too quickly and leaving Tech too much.Mack led Texas damn near lost an opportunity to play for a National championship because of clock management.He wasn’t the best at clock management. But his guys rose to the occasion late in games. And his kickers never missed late.

Colt and Quan on a read and a look they gave each other beat Ohio State. When I see the whole team turn to the sideline, I think are we in middle school? Can't these guys be taught to read a defense? I hope we get to the point the QB has more control which should help with these second half collapses.

November 7, 20223 yr I'll tell you one thing. My wife noticed that this was the first time in a long, long time that I have been super-vocal during a Texas game, screaming variations of "fuck" and "fuck yeah" at the TV. Not only was it a worthy opponent where the outcome was uncertain, it felt like something was "at stake" for the first time in a long, long time. Even before a pattern of second-half losses emerged, I had become quite inured to the ups and mostly downs of Texas Foorball over the last 10 years or so. A big part of that is that I seem to have more interest in Sarkisian succeeding than the last two. I guess it's the redemption story of an alcoholic. Another part is that I'm tired, so tired of the merry-go-round. So fucking tired. Edited November 7, 20223 yr by TwiceHorn

Simms was more talented but would go with GDs bad play calls all the time.Colorado game first interception to me was a terrible play call when running was working so well. Simms stayed in it. GD was ready to try something that had not been practiced on 4th down. Vince told him, hey coach you had the right play drawn up in practice lets do it again and they did because of the player.
