Every time this thread is bumped I cross my fingers and hope for the best. Makes me feel like I do in every second half of our games.

80 plays, 65 yards (Vaughn) Texas - 52 K-state - 41

Who would have thought that bringing in all those high profile players to a very unstable program with limited success would have turned out any differently. At Alabama they can get away with it because they have Saban, a dynasty and putting many players in the league. A&M, well you know.. Now we can see a slow fire build and turn into a giant Aggie bonfire.

30-28 Texas 22 receptions for 255 yards

I’m not good at this but I’ll give it a shot. I was at the game in section 118 and had the entire field view. I missed some details, but I caught one that showed me this offense is in sync and Ewers has complete control of the offense. The tempo, the speeds of the offense, the motions. It’s a thing of beauty when it all works in unison. I found this clip, a meaningless play in which Worthy got blown up. It shows some nuances of the intricate offense. FullSizeRender.MOV A very nice design, but an even better execution. We will catch a team sleeping at some point!

Texas: 55 WV: 20 Total RB yards: 300

I was not online when Texas got crushed against Ou with Mack in charge. Knowing the success he had in those years of 10 wins a year, was that enough at the time for him? Would it be enough for Sark to some how pull off 10 wins this year?

The drive with 1:55 left in the 3rd when tech scored to make it 31-24 told me everything I needed to know about this season. Instead of running plays that work, Sark decides to get cute. In my opinion there are plays that work over and over again and if the other team cannot stop them too bad. We went 3 and out quickly. We did not keep the same tempo as the previous TD drive. In this game you have to play complimentary football but if they stuff the run, run some drag routes. They were wide open all game. Another frustrating season is on the horizon. My only hope is that Quinn returns but he doesn’t play defense. We were out-coached. No way we don’t lose a minimum of 5 games this year. Ou, Osu, even Kansas looks better this year. We may lose 6. If that happens I don’t know how you keep Sark another year.

Texas: 45 UTSA: 24 UTSA total yards: 335yds

Watching A&M spin their white towels in the stands it reminds me of UT games from the mid 2000’s when we had cowbells in the stands and use them in third down situations. Did they outlaw them at the stadium or something? I know miss st uses them but it worked for us better.

Serious question, all jokes aside. Does this moral victory get us ranked in the top 25 or is it still too early?

I had a vision today, didn’t get to see the final score but it was 24-7 Texas in the second quarter with 7:42 left in the half. Let’s see what happens this weekend. We have a shot!

I was close last week. This week I have no idea of a possible score. I think Patterson has something up his sleeve for bama and the offense comes out with some concepts that will scheme our game breakers wide ass open. Alabama 41 Texas 31 Tied heading to the 4th. Ewers: 22-35 335 yds passing -25 rushing (310 total yards)

Maybe Agiye watched too much south beach tow. He is from Florida.

I was at the game and I have two observations that I was impressed with. 1. The game plan was pretty vanilla, it was meant to be that way not to show our hand to bama. This game was a demonstration of our athletes superior athletic ability and the game was never in doubt. This game was just our guys against theirs no special formations or plays. 2. We have real speed on defense. Teams will have to run it down the middle on us, almost every stretch play or run to the outside was dropped for a loss. I was disappointed in the lack of connection between Quinn and Worthy. He has a connection with JT and possibly even one with Casey Cain. I would like to see better timing with Worthy or else this season will have another highlight reel of plays where he is consistently missed. I saw 2-3 deep balls that in person weren’t that close. We also cannot afford to lose Overshown for any period of time, he is the glue to the defense this year. Overall a very nice game on all 3 phases, but the talent level isn’t that deep. I keep telling myself that we don’t have a chance against bama to set my expectations low and hope for a surprise good game, but I don’t feel good about next week. Let’s hope the game plan next week is extraordinary, we will need it to be. Hook ‘em
