9 or 10 sacks is nuts. How does that happen? I thought this was one of the best OLines in 10 years.

sam held the ball too long on 3 or 4 of them but we didn't nothing to counter.  Harsin would have screened OU to death

my biggest problem is the bullshit O playcalling in the first half and no desire to establish the running game.  please shelve the pussy ass WR screens if our WR's wont block.

Yep, and they said it during the game, ou's DC said they weren't doing their job if they weren't getting DPI calls against them, they wanted to force refs to call it. 

They were going to blitz and spy all day to sell out and hope to God B12 refs wouldn't flag em and we were content to try to run Sam and throw short/backward pass bullshittery.  It worked for em.

Our kickoff returns really hurt us the entire game. It seemed like we started every drive from the 10 or 15. 

One of several things. Tackling, blocking, drops...

[A’Dam Psycho 1471]

I might be completely biased here but based off of what I saw I sincerely think we beat OU in a rematch.

So what cocksucker will transfer to OU for qb next year?

he's rolling with the rattler I'm sure.  if not, he's going to have a bit harder time having QB's commit to him.

I can’t believe ou managed 9 sacks? Sure, they may be improved. But giving up 9, well I’m not sure what to think of that.

Then there is ou’s DB’s. Who seemed to know before anyone where those screens were going. They reacted to those like they were in the fucking huddle

Our screens are pretty easy to read...but they did react very well to them

Fortunately with this clown conference, this game doesn’t matter anymore.   Maybe our O line’s nuts will drop by December.

Ehrlinger almost always had time to pass.  He didn't have all day, but he had enough.  He needed to find some short routes to get rid of it without holding it forever.

9 sacks?  Can’t win like that and need a new kick return guy ASAP!

9 sacks tho... 

thats nuts.. 

sup with them 0 or negative yard play stats.. something seems fishy.

That's on either the QB, the receivers or the coaches with their play calls.  Erhlinger had sufficient time.  He held it too long too often.

Sam held the ball far too long today. And OU’s DBs held our receivers every play, not that it had anything to do with them reading our screens. We didn’t make any obvious adjustments at halftime.

It’s almost like that can be coached to not happen

Well in fairness to the coaches, I saw the upman tell Duvernay to go down one time and he still ran it out.  Don't remember if he managed to get to the 20 or if that was the time he only got to the 12.

[workswithseed 2115]

The o line sucked, also fuck lateral passes.

[pacman 7371]

I don't mind losing so long as we look well coached. We don't.

We still can't figure out catching the ball on ST return.

We take on blocks and give up the outside shoulder.

Our DBs don't look for the ball.

We blitz but give 10 yard cushions.

We blitz from 8 yards deep, right into blockers.

Our defenders don't play assignment football.

Our oline still can't handle stunts.

Well we scored 24 in the 2nd vs. 3 in the first.  We were a lot more successful.  We maybe should have called some plays in the middle where the holding is obvious.

Why was the offense so lackadaisical? One would think they would play more fired up, like they did last year.

Maybe the 1100am start time or something, but  jeez, this is your biggest rival.you shouldn’t have to be prodded into a fight.

Rojo should have had more touches particularly in the second half when we were driving and had to settle for 3, I don’t think he got a single carry on that drive.

Its hard to tell sometimes why one team wants it more.  But I think OU definitely did today.  We seemed tentative, especially on defense.  Maybe they let OU's speed get in their heads.

This. I also think OU defense is pretty much at their ceiling. That D won’t get any better than what they played today. Our offense/Sam won’t be as putrid as they were in this game. Also if we get Whittington, Sterns, Green, Overshown, etc back, I like our chances.

Not be a loser, man. 
 You gotta do what epic winners do when they get stressed or face adversity. You go to a rub and tug and let a Chinese woman lick your balls, maybe play with your ass a little like Bob Craft.
 

I agree that I'm being a total pussy about this loss but since I have one, I don't feel too bad about myself. I just need to watch some hated teams lose now.

I think our guys talked too much shit before the game and didn’t spend enough time worrying about backing it up. 

What a weird game. We were absolutely as unprepared as in any game Mack Brown led us to slaughter, yet we really were right there till the end. Guess that’s a reflection of the talent we have.

I hope this pisses a lot of people off. Coaches need to look themselves in the mirror this evening, as do quite a few players. It was a total failure.

I somehow kidded myself thinking this was going to be the Georgia game, v2.0., but alas they didn’t have that team’s desire or edge.

Yes of course, there needs to be introspective but this talk of winning out and looking forward to the rematch has to stop until they get their shit together and change, o/w we will get punked by at least a couple other teams.

We were tied, down 3, and down 7 all in the 2nd half. OU needed Superman plays by Lamb two times to secure the win

Agreed. We lost it before the team left Austin. And just like so many Mack games, we didn’t attack from the opening kickoff. We spread our ass cheeks and took it.

Anytime the game was in question, OU scored in less than a couple minutes. Extremely easy

They attacked us from the kickoff, and we just took blow after blow from them. Our gameplan was awful. We weren’t ready. 

[Colonel Mustard 325]

Really dunno how you dont get prepared and pumped to play in that game. Team gave a D- effort and still could have won that game. Our overall team health is a big concern. Feels like half the starters are hurt and alot are playing at like 60%. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 12516]

Everyone done crying and bitching over the loss? Time to move on and meet these fuckers in Dallas and make a NY6 game after whipping their asses. 

[USNALonghorn 5078]

Seven point loss = never in the game... yeah okay.

We played like shit and made stupid mistakes. Our offensive play calling was idiotic. But we were very much in this game. The staff needs to learn from this and move on. Other than that, let's pray our injuries heal fast before the last third of the season.

I agree that, despite the close score and back and forth nature of the second half, it never seemed like we would win.  OU always seemed in control.

But, in the Mack days, this game would have been 52-21 or something like that.  The first time something went wrong, it snowballed into a blowout.  Give this team credit.  They fight until the very end.  Herman deserves some credit for that.

[Tex Pete 20510]

I certainly agree with that. Our D kept making plays in spite of also being a sieve. But from start to finish, we were reacting to OU. We never took the fight to them.

You looked unprepared against the two good teams you played this year.  You have a major coaching issue. Those kids looked lost today. Talented yes?...but lost.

You're right about one thing..Mack would have lost that game by 40

[Tylerocks 2555]

I’m on board with Jive Turkey et al.

 

this should have been a 3-4 TD loss.  Somehow roles were reversed and our D looked halfway respectable and our O turtled up.  It’s amazing the game was as close as it was. It shouldn’t have been.

yep.  When RoJo scored, we were right there.  D shit the bed, but can;t blame them too  much for the position they'd been in all day.  

O playcalling and OL cost us the win.

And next time OU scores 34 (hopefully Jerrahworld), they'll lose.

[mdmost 43055]

Tale of two units switching places in each half. First half, offense was absolute dogshit and the defense did their part. 2nd half, offense improved but the defense continually shit the bed. Tim Beck and Todd Orlando are going to be the death of the Tom Herman era if he doesn't figure things out. That Tim Beck first half was about as bad of one since 2004. Without the defense bailing them out, we would've been buried. 2 turnovers and zero points out of it. Criminal. Then the defense just flat out couldn't do anything. Couldn't tackle. Couldn't stop routine plays. Couldn't get a stop when needed. It's how I thought the game was originally going to go. I'd be mad if I thought we had a legitimate shot to win this game. We never did. That speaks volumes for this program right now. When was the last time we went into Texas OU feeling confident that we could win or that we would win? 2005? 2009? And Sam reverted to freshman year Sam. That's on Beck for that shitfest of a gameplan. Went away from everything that works. We've still got a long way to go.

I did like that, after throwing about 5 passes behind the line of scrimmage that went for negative yards in the first half, we didn't seem to do that in the second half.

It also looks like there is still a non-negligible talent gap between the programs. 2020 and 2021 classes can’t get here fast enough.

This game didn't feel anything like the LSU game. There were several points during the LSU game when I thought we could win. It didn't happen, but that game wasn't decided until the very end. It never felt like we would win today even when it was a 7 point game.
