[Eastexhorn]

What will happen monday.

1 I will not discuss injuries

2 Will name starter at QB just before kickoff

3 PK will be ok once he gets his players.

[Ntx dog]

Arkansas 14-0 over the gags. So when Hill bails on them where does he go? It ain't here.

[Johnny Depp]

Oh, in case anyone is keeping score:

Heisman Over

All American receiver over

Natty over

Big 12 maybe

Bowl game maybe

[Ntx dog]

Oh well im done here. Going to watch a team that knows how to win. The Tx volleyball team. Taking on ou sucks @ 7

[Billybass]

Everybody is talking about defense lapse.

we scored 10 freakin points in Big12 league play, and the touchdown was a 40 yard run.

if Ewers is not any better than Card, then we are shit out of luck. 
The Big12 game is scoring points. We got to score.

2nd half was way too conservative. I know we're a better team with Ewers, but this game was very winnable with Card.

I thought Card was in a great rhythm but Sark seemed hellbent on the run game, or was simply too scared of turning the ball over.

[Eastexhorn]

Out coached y a vetern staff. Wait how many years has Joey M. been there..

Pump the brakes here. It's a horrible loss, but it's only 1 loss. Let's see how they regroup.

 Sark's college record is what it is, especially road games. He is now 7-9 here. 

Thank you.  His winning percentage is .552  That does not mean that he can’t  do better but up to this point in his career he has not been able to.  So who you are is what your record says you are.

Agree. He abandoned just about everything that was working in the 1st half.

[UT1983]

Other than Kansas and ou, who else are we going to lose to? 

[Billybass]

Our Oline is playing better, but several of them played poorly today.

Hutson in particular looked like a freshman. Which is what he is. 
That’s the reason we really lost today, in my opinion we got whipped up front.

But they will get better. 

[zion3d]

Quick observation.  Why did we not try running tempo?

Okielite, tempo is insane and D showed they’ll get gassed

Because our D was gassed.

Totally agree with the Oline.  The TT DL was manhandling them in the 2nd half. This was the 1st bad game overall for them. No surprise It was in their 1st road game experience.  Also thought our DL looked very, very suspect.

[Johnny Depp]

Bijan walks the line for a TD and we go up 31-17. Everyone thinks it's over but TT.  Sark starts playing not to lose. Wakes up with 21 seconds left and no timeouts. 

Bijan chokes up the ball with the game on the line. Bipolar.

[TexCoyote]

I really didn’t like the 4th and 2 and they go out of the wildcat and get stacked up. Sark’s motto is All Gas No Brakes. He needs to start playing like it. We score there and the crowd gets out of it and the whole game possibly changes. I don’t know why it is so slow to look better at Texas. 

[dallaslonghorn]

This was exactly the same as last year. The defense can't stop a team with a decent offense, and our QB is extremely average. Card just isn't the guy, maybe with Ewers we would have won this game. However that doesn't excuse the same old crappy defensive effort

[Johnny Depp]

 

[Hiwood]

This loss stings because its a game we had in our grasp...I lay the blame right at the feet of the defense.....they gave up 34 points to a mediocre team..They let Tech run over 90 offensive plays...any other decent teams runs that many plays and they hang fifty on us...something is very wrong on whoever is coaching our DBs, way too many passes caught in front of them....an offense that scores 31 points shouldn't lose..

[texbound]

This right here is where the great game against Alabama goes out the window. As good as they played then, it is the exact opposite here. Not counting the last drive of regular time, how many times did Texas try to throw deep in the 2nd half?  I can't remember one time. Very conservative game call in the 2nd half.  Played not to lose and not to win. Simple as that.

[Eastexhorn]

Who else will beat Texas, do not ook now but K St. is up on OU 14- Ofirst Q.

2 drives 2  TDS. OU 3 and out. early.

Let me clarify that this is over his entire college coaching career.
