*****Texas vs. Texas Tech Game Thread*****

[Aaron Carrara]

The Texas Longhorns head West on Saturday to face Big 12 foe Texas Tech in Lubbock. While neither team is in position for a spot in the College Football Playoffs, both teams have plenty to play for. Under second year head coach Tom Herman, Texas is looking for progress.  A win today would surpass Herman's season-one win total, setting the Longhorns up for their best season in five years. For Texas Tech and Kliff Kingsbury, a win means bowl eligibility and a chance at a winning season - something the Red Raiders haven't had since 2015.

Texas lost its last two games to Oklahoma State and West Virginia, while Texas Tech is also on a two-game skid. The Red Raiders lost to ranked Iowa State and Oklahoma teams in consecutive weeks. Both teams are in need of a win to turn things around and finish the season strong.

Please curb stomp tech...... That is all.

 

[83Dee]

This is the proverbial “must win” from a program building perspective.  Must have games like this.... very similar circumstances to the OSU debacle.  Let’s see if there’s improvement.  

 

[T-ShirtHorn]

No Brandon Jones or Collin Johnson today 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Bowman won’t play tonight but that doesn’t stop him from the trash talk.

 

[Lord Vader]

Someone mail him a toaster for being the 1,000,000th loser in history to say that.

Over / Under of plays before I complain about PJ.

I'm setting It at 3.5

 

[Lord Vader]

Ill take the under.

While we are waiting for kickoff, Id like to point out that Herm Edwards and Arizona State are bowl eligible. I still dont know exactly what Herm does as head coach, but cool beans for him.....

 

[dillohorn]

No Brandon Jones or Collin Johnson today 

Well. That sucks.

 

[Lord Vader]

Meanwhile in Norman, Gundy goes for 2 instead of taking his offense to overtime and loses. Mobilehoma survives. 

Lets hope we are not in that spot today and just kick arse

 

[HORNfromETX]

Defense wherefore art thou

 

[okiehorn]

Texas D is so damn good 

 

[texbound]

Wow, can they get one stop on the opening drive against any team down the stretch?  Now that QB has confidence.  Here we go again.

 

[dillohorn]

This D is painful to watch. Looks like every other UT game so far. No D.

 

[Lord Vader]

:angry:  Defense looks like trash already.

 

[Lord Vader]

How flippin hard is it to tackle someone?  Pathetic.

 

[okiehorn]

Teas spots em 7, every game. Kinda becoming comical 

 

[BigL]

Why do we defer the kick instead of taking the ball.  I hate spotting them 7 points each game

 

[Lord Vader]

Personal foul on the Kick. Dumb
