GAME THREAD: Kansas State Wildcats at Texas Longhorns

[HornSports Staff]

The Texas Longhorns (4-7, 2-6) look to finish a disappointing season with a win against the Kansas State Wildcats (7-4, 4-4) at Darrell K. Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday.  Texas and K-State will meet for the 22nd time all-time, with the Longhorns holding a slight 11-10 advantage in the all-time series record.  Led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger, Texas defeated Kansas State 69-31 decisively last season in the Little Apple.

Quarterbacks Casey Thompson and Hudson Card were both injured in last week's loss to West Virginia, and Wildcat quarterback Skylar Thompson suffered an injury last week as well.

Texas brings a six game losing streak into Saturday's game in hopes of finishing the season on a positive note.

So, Brockermeyer and Overshown are both out?  Sounded like Brock got injured in practice this week.  Who starts at LB today?  Gbenda and Ford?

[texbound]

If Skylar Thompson is not playing for KST then it's over already. No, not in favor of the good guys.  Texas will make the backup look like a Heisman candidate for next year.

[J.B. TexasEx]

Looks like Roschon and the single-wing O will be a big part of the game plan today.

Why not?

[dillohorn]

Good drive for a td. OL actually looked better.

Who cares? They can't do worse. Put the kids in.

Sophomore walk-on from Austin.

[UT1983]

That K-State TD drive sure looked easy for them. 

[dillohorn]

Well. So much for getting a little excited. UT has no QB. Thompson makes awful decisions and can't throw anyway.

[dillohorn]

The D looked promising for 1 possession.

It was.

We will win.  The power of positive of thinking

[J.B. TexasEx]

The JAGs we have at OLB/DE can't rush the passer, so you'd think they'd at least hold up against the run. They don't keep contain at all

I know I'm really down on Sark and the players, but I haven't seen a whole helluva lot to be excited about for 6 weeks.

[DMAC]

If 90% percent of our players played with the passion that Roschon displays, this season MIGHT have been different

Do we really though? Don't we get a higher draft pick if we lose? NIL and the portal has ushered in free agency, why not copy the rest of the League?

I kid... sort of.

[J.B. TexasEx]

That sweep by X was the most exciting 1-yard loss I've ever seen

[DMAC]

Oh yea see it works

[DMAC]

Watch Texas wins and is in the top 10 preseason poll next year

[J.B. TexasEx]

Wow!

Helluva catch by Brewer on the fade. Nice throw, Casey!
