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

[Daniel Seahorn]

Maryland will be able to take the air out of the football if the Texas offense continues to not produce. 

[Hookemfan91]

I never understood the hype with the defense during the off-season. And I want to know who’s calling plays as well.

[TatumTXLonghorn]

We still look like we are stuck in the mud.

Our inept offense and their success has them controlling the clock and the ball. We need a drive!

[BevoBlake]

We’re getting our ass kicked. By a team with an interim head coach surrounded by a program filled with controversy.

The Texas offense has yet to get out of neutral today. Herman and his staff still have a lot of work ahead of them after what I've seen so far.

The irony is Herman has said multiple times this week "I have never been this excited to start the season". 

You can add that he also stated "Yes we lost last year but this is a different team, we are not the same team we were last year."

Doesnt look much different, well looks worse actually.

[TexCoyote]

Same ole same ole every freaking year. I say it every year, but it’s just unbelievable. 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Sam needs to sit down. He is a horrible passer. 

[HORNfromETX]

Don't have a good feeling about this upcoming punt 

[MikeV73]

Typical offensive set:  two poorly executed runs, incomplete pass on third down.  Why are we waiting until 3rd and long to pass every series?  Just start throwing.  I would bring in Shane and see what he’s got.

[83Dee]

I agree with blasting this coaching staff.... I think we ran 5 running backs into the game in the first three series.  

Dumb rotations, numerous penalties and dumb play calling with the bread and butter play being a run right up the middle that takes 2 seconds to develop.   

[Daniel Seahorn]

This may get ugly, guys. 15 yard punt puts the Terps in business.

[TatumTXLonghorn]

Omgsh a 15 yard punt.

[MikeV73]

Punter looks Dickson of freshman year there.  This absolutely sucks.  Are we fielding a college team and coaching staff?

[Daniel Seahorn]

Immediately give up the six to JeShaun Jones AGAIN. He has three TDs and has them in three different ways. 

[HookEm41]

The reason this offense is so bad is it doesn’t put our players in position to succeed. Our offense has no advanced concepts and zero wrinkles. I don’t have the advantage of watching the all 22 but from what I am seeing, our route concepts aren’t getting anyone open and we are doing nothing to get our playmakers the ball in space. The offense is  predictable and we don’t have the pure athletes to overcome that like we did in the Mack Brown/Greg Davis years.

[GetSmacked123]

At least Texas won't have to pay Tom Herman any bonuses this year.

[okiehorn]

50 total yards of offense!!! 50!!!! That’s progress??? Where do they get these stories during offseason! 

[MikeV73]

Contrary to what our coach says, we do need an OC who can game plan and make in game adjustments.  Need to incorporate some ingenuity instead of trying to shove our crappy plan down their throats.  Can’t believe I have been looking forward to today for 9 months.  Time to move to the next generation of OCs vs the carryovers from a decade+ ago.  Gilbert showed some ingenuity, missing him now.  

[Bevostuntdouble]

Herman lied so hard about literally everything...

May get ugly?

[oldhorn2]

freshman punter and they are wisely rushing hell out of him....smart

[DMAC]

F@#K this shitshow.

Wake me when are no longer a f##king embarassment.

I dont mind an arrogant HC but when you roll out this garbage for 2 season openers in a row there no excuse.

So much hype with zero substance.

 

[TexCoyote]

Todd Orlando is not a freaking defensive guru and I wish people would quit saying it

[Big Daddy Cane]

Holy shit a 1st down!
