If I’m the Tech DC I’m telling my DBs to hang all over/tackle our receivers before the ball is even in the air.  If he watched the Bama tape it’s obvious that the B12 refs aren’t calling pass interference so why not do it.  Oh and they shouldn’t worry about being called for obvious face masks.  If I’m the Tech coach I’m telling my guys commit any and all penalties to win and make the refs call them.  This is their best chance to come away with a victory.

"They can't call everything" is a surprisingly sound strategy that Bama executed to perfection.

I’m going to be a Card optimist by pointing out he hasn’t really played any disasterous  games during the day. His worst performances were @ Arkansas at night time, and then the home night game against Kansas. All things considered, he was solid against Bama ( no turnovers), looked great against ULL last season….all day games. I’m thankful the game in Lubbock is a day game, so even with the hostile crowd, maybe he won’t be as rattled. Maybe It’s a stretch to think this way but fuck it

You might be onto something. Maybe Card is scared of the dark?

I'd like to see Sanders get some in the middle of the field, catch in stride, and truck several Tech wimps on the way to 6.  Not satisfied with his scheme so far of sideline routes.  He needs to be fed well in areas where he can dominate. 

Our #6 DB Watts, the Ohio State transfer, was picked on relentlessly and successfully by UTSA. If he continues to be subpar, put in someone else. He's a weak link. 

Texas is going to smash Tech by 28+.

huh? Sark gave him open deep shots with a clean pocket or easy short throws all game. Card just isn’t very good. He was missing wide open receivers a lot vs. UTSA because he drops his eyes to the pass rush way too early. There’s not really a game plan that fits Card other than don’t ask him to do much and try to lean on the run game. If his ankle’s better, we could mix in a bit of read option to try to open things up a bit. 

Expand  

To be fair Ewers has missed some deep passes this year with a clean pocket too.

Card is completely capable of beating Tech with the right game plan which I am sure Sark has drawn up.

The difference is you're talking a kid who hasn't played in two years, the last time being in HS, and a 3rd year guy who started at UT last year. Let's not kid ourselves, Ewers is far more capable of hitting those shots than Card. It's not a debate.

He needs to be careful or the B12 refs will call him for targeting a defenseless defender.

Card should be able to beat Tech with any game plan.  Why are we scared of Tech?  This is getting out of hand; we need to sack up and walk into Lubbock like we own the place....because we do

Yeah, against ULM, his first meaningful snaps at the college level after having not played in two years.  The kid looked to be a completely different QB in the first quarter against Alabama after having a game under his belt.

This is why we need Ewers back for West Virginia so he can tune up for OU.

Tim DeRuyter is known for coaching dirty defenses anyway so absolutely nothing would surprise me

I think the fan base is still a bit traumatized. It's been a long tough period. Takes at least a full season of being good to fully get some swagger back.

Weak to very meh first post. Profile photo suggests nerd or furry (maybe both?). Do not want.

We need to remind ourselves of this.  Yes, we lost heartbreakers in Lubbock that had conference and national championship implications in 2002 and 2008, and I guess some folks are still traumatized by that and think that somehow we just don't do well on the road against Tech.  History says otherwise, even when we don't have a QB like Vince, Colt, or Sam at the helm.

UT is going to roll into Lubbock and lay the wood to these cocksuckers by running the ball. Bijan and Rojo combine for 35+ touches that lead to 300+ yards rushing.

Texas wins 45 to 10.

Because the last three trips to Lubbock have been:

1. A last second INT to avoid overtime.

2. A last minute touchdown after blowing a 17 point lead.

3. A 15 point comeback in the final 3ish minutes to force overtime that included an onside kick and a two point conversion.

Texas has not comfortably beaten Tech in Lubbock since 2014, and that win was largely because Mahomes was knocked out early in the game. None of the other trips to Lubbock since 2008 have been victories of more than 10 points.
