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

[dillohorn]

Opponents hit Tech with three-man rush all the time. It allows an extra guy in coverage against an offense that airs it out a great deal.

We beat Tech in a night game in Lubbock. I'll take it.

It left the QB to do what he wanted to at will.

Well I'm going to sit back, watch the highlights on the LHN and enjoy my beer!

Yes. This team will drive you to drink.

Think I'll take a breath now and have another bourbon and coke....after all my mom and grandfather were bootleggers in Kentucky.

So it forces the QB to beat you with his legs? I'll take it.

A lot of teams fair worse than we did against Tech's offense.

I don't expect this team to be perfect or even "back" yet. But they're sure fun to watch and seeing them grow and develop.

Ehlinger set a Big 12 record this evening for passes thrown without an interception.

Yea, as much as we rag on the defense, they are not exactly operating with all hands on deck.

These post game pressers just softball Tom some bs questions... 

 

[Bogey]

I watched the game on delay (DVR makes commercials and halftime disappear).

D was a MASH unit and played like it. 

O was solid. Would've liked to see a few more passes sprinkled into the 4th. The last TD pass was shades of '08 in reverse.

Glad to escape the tortilla throwers in a night game.

Hook 'em!!! \\m//

No different than any other post game presser across the nation.

I don’t doubt you... but I only watch one post game presser. How about “hey, Tom, you gave up 17 points in 4 mins and the DL habitually jumped offsides allowing free chunk plays. Whaaaat happened there?” Haha I’d prefer that.

This! I'm as disgusted as most with our inability to shut out games in the 4th but remember Mack and his #1 team lost in Lubbock.

This game never should have come down to a finish like this...coaches and players must figure it out..but a W is a W..

Unfortunately it did. Just like the last 6 games. Texas has been fortunate to win 4 of those. The problem is coaching and I'm blaming Herman more than Orlando. Herman made a point to state the definition of insanity early in his tenure, yet he continues to play percentages instead of intuition. Putting the defense on the field first every time is a great example.

Got to admit, that's not a bad question.

Interesting. I'll have to try that. One of my favorites is Dr. Pepper and Bacardi.

 

[texbound]

The thing that bugs me about this defense is they're so concerned about giving up the big play, but they let QB have all day with a 3 man rush. News flash, they're still giving up the big plays so just bring the pressure a lot more then. Kind of like running a full court press in basketball. Sure you're going to breakdown and give up a couple of layups, but you'll probably create more TOs and possessions for your team. Just bring the pressure and live with it. Have an identity.

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Thank you, sir. We have zero ability to finish games strong and I put that on the staff... I have no idea how Herman continues to allow this to happen. The ending comment is always "well we found a way to win." But that always overlooks the biggest issue which is we are our own absolute worst enemy! Its just tough to see the same things happen literally every single week and hear the same things from Tom, every single week.

 

[RDHookEm]

Thats a given. Hes a fine young man and I hope he goes somewhere and kills it. 

Hope he doesn’t go to tech or okie state...Apparently we allow in conference transfers...

I would have loved a, “Hey Tom noticed you were afraid to put the ball in the air and allow your QB that doesn’t turn the ball over to make plays with his arm. Did you lose your balls in the second half?”
