*****GAME THREAD: TEXAS VS. MARYLAND*****

[okiehorn]

Can’t miss the tackle at line of scrimmage. Hope we pull this one out. Don’t care how it looked. Just want a W

Weather delay due to lightning. Go grab a beer folks.

Game in Lightning Delay

[texbound]

Jet sweep right TD, Jet sweep left TD, rinse and repeat.

[GetSmacked123]

Ugh lightning delay

[HORNfromETX]

Can we please scrap the 3 down linemen, it has gotten us killed all game.

[83Dee]

Well, I too just hope for a win at this point; over a lower level Big 10 school with turmoil and an interim coach.   

Boy, did I eat the cheese.... as I always do!  

[okiehorn]

Perfect timing, get Maryland defense a good rest and some time for Beck to draw up some of his best plays... 

[DMAC]

its not even sprinkling there....wtf

LB play again exposed.  Ouch. 

I guess all the extra motion Maryland is doing has confused our LB's. I would've thought Orlando and the D prepared for this, it's Canada's signature offense.

Any update on expected return on the game?

Definitely makes you wonder. 

[DMAC]

Fox commentators are dogging Texas lack of offense.

Embarassing but true

[texasdalton]

Our  OL is playing good, we need to run the ball and control the clock.

I'd say at least 30 more minutes, just a guess

Not sure how well they are playing overall.    Better on pass protection vs running plays.  Have seen some improvement in the run game second half, but gotta build from there.

Are we going to loose our TV feed with the next game about to start on FS1?

No. Average at best. At least from my perspective.

[CharcoalPuppy]

I think Ehlinger needs to run the ball more.

Average would be a giant step from 2017

Okay, using your metric we can call it below average. We are in the same boat as last year. The running game is not opening up the passing game. I don't want to be argumentative but I just don't see much improvement over last year.

[okiehorn]

Sam has Zero turn overs which is a plus. Unfortunately other than a safety UT defense has None. If somehow Texas scores and wins this thing then it’s def better than 2017. If I remember correctly Texas had 2 Defensive scores and a punt return or something then? So far this is all offense production. Idk im just reaching, trying to find a positive

I agree with this.
