Murray is a given, but Lamb?? Dude was the difference today.

Yeah. He loved Texas. I remember some rumors about classroom issues but they never amounted to anything, clearly.

Where is Charlie Williams now? Arkansas?

Who’s to say we even get those guys during that shitty season? They were both transition class guys.

How is it that so many of our players are sustaining severe injuries - especially defense and especially the secondary? Herman needs to do a root cause analysis. Between Yancy and Orlando, the problem should not be this severe.

Out of rep.  Sure seems like a problem.  Bad tackling form leading to injury and ejection.

To be fair, never in a million years did I expect OUs d to make our o line their bitch and Epps is trash. D  doing as well as we could’ve expected. This game is on the o line.

blOU outplayed us in all three phases of the game today. Most stunning was that they ran for 8.1 yards per carry despite wholesale changes to their Oline from last year. Their DB group is also much, much improved since 2018, and Gallimore/Murray gave our O-line fits.

Grinch is looking like another terrific hire by them. I don't know what voodoo their AD pulls, but every fucking hire for them has been an unqualified success since they found Lincoln Riley at ECU. It's absurd.

The most impressive thing about their program is how they reload on the oline and seem to never miss a beat. Bedenbaugh was also a fantastic hire.

If you read the football board, this was clearly the worst performance of Tom Herman's tenure at Texas (forgetting that we lost to FUCKING MARYLAND. TWICE!). On Monday it's expected that CDC will personally fire the OC, DC, WR, OL, LB, and Special Teams coach. Herman can stay, but he's basically Charlie Strong. Everyone knows that UT coaches should go undefeated. 

Anyway, as is always the case around here, posts after a loss are filled with hyperbole. Tom did get outcoached today. The D was simultaneously the reason we were in the game, but also very disappointing, especially in tackling. Part of that is that CeeDee Lamb is as good of a WR as anyone in the country. Motherfucker is shifty as fuck and seemed like he had Vaseline on his jersey. 

OL was surprisingly shitty. The huge number of sacks is partly attributed to some great blitz schemes by Grinch, part to our WRs seemingly not being able to get open, part to Sam playing as hesitant and unconfident as I've ever seen him play. But OL was routinely beaten. First half play calling and stubborn "can't abandon the run" when we kept running between the tackles for zero yards was fucking frustrating. The number of swing/WR screen passes was rage-inducing deja vu back to the Mack/Greg Davis blowouts. 

Yet, we were in the game until the end and beat the spread. I don't think the sky is falling. I do think we're still in the middle of the transition. I do think losing half our starters on D to injury had a huge impact. And I do think the UT fan base underestimated losing so many starters from last year's team. Definitely not time to panic, but this does re-calibrate expectations a bit. 

I said before the year I thought we would flip the series and lose today but win the conf championship game. We can still make that happen.

Absurd as it may sound, I think you could make the argument our D outperformed theirs today give them the field position. And Dicker is (still) nails. Return game - kickoffs and punt - is a fucking joke. Is that still “Enola Gay” Warheim?
 

to bring it back to recruiting (and because I’m watching am-Bama),  sure would’ve been nice If we would’ve dropped a bag for Waddle or Wilson. Excited we’ve got Bijan in the pipeline.

This. I do worry what Herman will do with him (RB/WR), but he's still elite. Plus these guys are getting older and more acclimated to the speed of the game. Most of our elite kids are frosh/sophs, so the future still looks bright. 

 

Herman is doing his due diligence in recruiting, so we now need an offensive identity (a la Riley).

Oh I know, I was being facetious. The only thing that really looked off for OU was Hurts, and we gave him enough chances to eventually get right.

[Hank Scorpio 17,729]

I don't actually think this game will cost us with any of the recruits. I think they saw that everyone was trying their best and having fun and making friends out on the field and that's what it's all about. Add on the post game Herman kisses for each player and I think we're just fine. 

[Sgt Hulk 13,803]

This game wont affect recruiting we've lost 2 games both to top 5 playoff teams. by a td each.  this game was won and lost purely on the staff.

That’s the optimistic view. The outcome itself won’t affect recruiting, but the clear difference in schemes between the two D’s very well could. I have to think a guy or two noticed the difference in how each D-line was used.

There is a reason Drayton cried on the phone when Bijan committed, most think it saved his job and likely did. Beck fits the profile of a RB coach, recruit our position and be a killer on the trail for other positions.

When you’re still early in your rebuild, have lost most starters off a 2018 defense that was pretty regularly torched and then get hit hard by injury, you’re going to have issues stopping good offenses. Maybe fans thought our offense would be good enough to overcome that, but it clearly isn’t. While we’re adding talent, we still lack explosive guys. Not ideal in a fast-paced league.

You’re not really dumb enough to think that our athletic director is going to go into the head coach’s office and fucking demand that he make some changes because we lost by a touchdown to a team that will be ranked in the top 5 on Monday and people on the internet are mad, are you? For fuck’s sake. Get some goddamn perspective.

Not entirely true. We beat them last year. It's not like we are dogs. They have a good team this year and we dont. We lost by 7 even after our offense shat the bed

And shame on us for letting Mack stick around a few years too long and putting ourselves in a position where the best we could do for his successor was Charlie fucking Strong.

Riley inherited a well-oiled machine, took over the OU program during their most successful run in program history.  Herman inherited a dumpster fire, a weak Texas program at the lowest point in its history.  And while Herman may have gotten outcoached yesterday, let's remember that we're still paying the price of the Strong recruiting debacles, some of which included OU's OMVP and DMVP yesterday.  

Rome was not built in a day, and Texas football is not going to be completely rebuilt fro rubble in 2 1/2 years.
