  1. "

    And we didn't tackle well. They hit the big plays. I think they only had seven plays but 212 yards. Hit one 85-yarder for a touchdown. And had three scoring drives and got up 17-0 there.

    Defense made one nice stop right before we had a two-minute drive on the fourth and 1 when it was right there at the thing. We gave them up..........

    And then we punt and that's where I say we've got to -- defensively, even though we didn't give up a point defensively, we did a really good job in the second half, but we still gave up drives. And when we had them pinned back, second and 10, third and 10, we got them inside the 20, 25-yard line two or three time, we could have won some field position battles."

    This is not true. Now, he has more competition against better talent than Mack had to go against. Our team has more talent than 1998. Bijan is a pretty good offset for Ricky. Roschon and Robinson make this roster better.

    But system integration does take time. Plus guys at new positions on the Oline. Kerstetter is back from injury plus trading positions. Jones relative inexperience and flipping sides. And all recruited by a different staff for a different system. We may not have all Americans, but they’re talented enough that they put up over 110 points in the final two games last year. We’re more talented at WR and TE than last year.

     

     

    How?  That team had 2 all Americans at defensive tackles, Quentin Jammer at CB, a 1000 yard receiver, a 2000 yard RB, a 3000 yd QB, an offensive line that mauled Nebraska, a very reliable kicker......The wheels fell off the year before but it had talent that had been developed and properly coached.

     

    We have Herman's island of Misfit toys...

    Makes sense. It definitely seems like Sark just isn't able to run his offense because of the OL. Run game is big for him and OL is killing that which puts us behind the sticks and negates play action. Can't call any long-developing pass routes bc of pass pro. So then you're limited to a small subset of plays and very little deception.

    If Babers is right about 20 missed tackles that led to 166 yards, that's the biggest culprit on Defense. Plus the offense leaving them on the field all game like you said.

    The oline wasn't dominant by any means...but there were plays to be had last night.  Hudson was too indecisive on pulling the trigger and even when he did, his receivers dropped the balls.

     

    Defensively I don't know how many missed tackles there were, but it seemed the majority came when the defense started getting tired which tends to happen.

  4. Sark is having to fix a decade of poor coaching and mediocre recruiting in the lines. This season will be a work in progress for Texas. The coaches weren't dropping passes, missing blocks, or stepping up into sacks or being hesitant to throw the ball. Maybe Sark will work maybe he won't, but he has less talent comparatively than Mack Brown had in 1998 and Mack got blown out by 97-38 by UCLA and K state. Texas has to rebuild 1st....

    Wiggins is possible. LSU is a disaster right now. It will get worse there before it gets better. They’re going to need major donor involvement to salvage their class and those baws are not happy with the school.

    Yeah Tigerdroppings is currently like taking a time machine to this board after maryland rd 2.  There are still some people trying to say O can get it done(claiming UCLA is a top 10 team lol ) but mostly are resigned to the dumpster fire they will be.

    Loved the presser!

    Sark reminds me of ... the Terminator.  Situational awareness, always gathering and processing information.  Picking the right tool and using it for its intended purpose.

    The wheel route to Bijan was a TD before the snap.

    Texas will out coach teams, for the first time, since when?  DKR, Fayetteville, '69? 

       

    I would say we definitely out coached Nebraska in 96...

  7. -ULL is a good experienced team.  This was a good win.

    -Our oline needs some work, but Flood will get them there.

    -Bijan is awesome....could use some work on his pass blocking like everyone else...

    -Very workman like win. We controlled the game. 

    -Lots of backups worked in.

    -Disciplined play. Yes we had penalties, but not the stupid self destruction thing we typically did recently.

    -Great seeing offense able to overcome penalties and not be a definite punt.

    -nice to see scheming and attacking what s other team does rather than saying we are going to the same predictable things over and over.
