*****GAME THREAD: #21 Texas Longhorns vs. #15 Iowa State Cyclones*****

[The Tinman]

Texas offense is avg over 9yds a play...the deep incomplete pass plays are not sams strength. This staff is so fustrating. Keep feeding bijan the ball and mix in some throws thats what has been working.smh

 

[Ntx dog]

That went well.

 

[NEOkHorn]

Seems like too many of the offensive plays are really slow to develop. 

 

[The Tinman]

Horns arent playing like they want to be in the B12 championship. Started out strong but now falling back to the same old rut they were in the last 3 games...fg's arent going to get the job done

 

[texbound]

Is it too much to ask for the Horns to get a turnover right here?  Absolutely can't let them drive the field and score before half.

 

[Ntx dog]

And they get the ball to open the 2nd.

 

[NEOkHorn]

Really big missed opportunity on the sack.

 

[texbound]

I have zero confidence Texas will stop a 3rd and 1.  Zero!   How sad is that?

 

[Ntx dog]

Looks like our db's passed the "whiff on the tackle" class the last 2 weeks.

 

[dillohorn]

Started strong and then fizzled out like a wet firecracker

Mensa decided to stick his head up his a$$ early.

Absolutely zero pressure on Purdy.

Absolutely zero pressure on Purdy.

Agree

I remember saying when we hired Herman, "I hope by year 4 that we are neck and neck with Iowa State!"

Absolutely zero pressure on Purdy.

I love Chris Ash and hope that he’s here next year (whatever happens with the head coach).  
 

Always  remember what this defense looked like “pre-Ash.”  
 

Other coaches doing work:

Boulware - Special teams      Hutzler - Linebackers

May I plagiarize that line? Lol. So awesomely correct.

 

[NEOkHorn]

The Texas offense always makes me wonder if Herman and Jurcich are alternating the play calls. It just always seems like the scheme is disjointed or herky jerky and never has any rhythm. Having 2 play callers reminds me of the old adage about qbs; if you have 2 then you really don't have 1.

I'm guessing herman is butting in too often. I don't recall Yurcich's oki lite's offenses having multiple series in a row of suckage.

Agreed. I've always been a fan of Ash. Actually use a lot of his DB stuff with my kids. 

More consistency from our offense would make this defense perform a lot better in my opinion.

 

[The Tinman]

Ash has been showing improvement as the season goes on but the pass rush is still not consistent enough. Purdy has been able to escape the pocket when it collapses and has gotten outside of the containment. Ash has to figure this out or ISU will take over in 2nd half
