*****GAME THREAD: #11 TEXAS vs. RICE OWLS*****

[TXFF]

I pick it up on Sirius XM because I like Craig Way but they are sometimes thirty seconds behind

In Austin, the game is now broadcast on KVET, 98.1, with Craig Way on the call as usual.

 

[Sunkist]

Now next drive see if he can hit the long pass

Looks like we may need it this drive lol

 

[Epictetus]

Sold the frequency when they lost UT broadcast rights to iHeart. Still doing sports talk on 101.9 or The Horn app.

Got it!! reprogramming all vehicle radios to 101.9... think I have The Horn app... re-checking

 

[Ntx dog]

Would that be rubbing it in ?  I don't care. I want to hit 50 or more...lol

I forgot. It's our offense today.

 

[TXFF]

Maalik throws a bullet

Yes, he does, but sometimes some touch is called for. If he can develop that, he'd be dangerous. Ewers has great touch and throws a very catchable ball.

He can learn that with enough reps.

 

[Ntx dog]

Rice gonna milk the clock. Not good

 

[TXFF]

I can learn that with enough reps.

Yes, that's what practice is for. I hope he continues to develop.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Ethan Burk just missed a sack.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

And Rice scores.

 

[zion3d]

They should have put 1st team in.  I did not want rice scoring a TD

 

[Ntx dog]

A win is a win I guess. But really disappointed.  Other than our DL am not at all optomistic about next week.

 

[Sugabread]

Well a win is a win.  Defense played good.  Offense played a half.  Next week will tell all

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Let's see Arch for a series

More important for the second and third stringers to own that TD.

Looks like we have a high level defense, look forward to seeing what offense has for game plan next week. I feel like maybe we didn’t scheme very well today by design. Teams normally make big jump from week 1 to week 2 and I know the talent is there. Take the win this week, and let’s see what Sark dials up next week.

Yes, we do. And who's the DC? Oh yeah, the guy lots of fans were trying to run off two years ago.

 

[Austin Horn]

Good second half but if we play like this against Bama it’s gonna be a long day. I mean that game is gonna be like Arkansas in 2021.

Prep, focus, and determination will be much different next week. Plus they'll have a week to clean up some issues. It's normal for a D to be more ready early in the season vs. an O.

I think it's good that the O struggled at times. Lets them know they still have work to do.

 

[Sunkist]

Next week is good defenses against questionable offenses.   Teams won’t score more than 58 total.

I love our D but a well designed game with Milroe running a lot will cause us fits.  We just don’t have enough at LB or elite rushes.   Here’s hoping the O can catch fire or Bama just passes all day!
