Game Thread Texas vs tech - 2:30pm on ESPN

[Vito Andolini 9458]

Most unimaginative formation possible now, I’m pretty certain Johnson has never done anything but keep it on the wildcat. 

[ztejas 44262]

I don't get it. Card has played lights out save one mistake. Trust your guy. 

[Aslan24 470]

If you only run one play out of the Ro Cat, then it gets really easy to defend. I think they've run that play four times for four total yards.

The wildcat formation is shitty. Stop calling it.

Interior run blocking is shitty.

can we retire the wildcat for the day 

Stacking the box. Have to keep burning them down the field. 

[Sgt Hulk 14469]

Run it power. Snap it direct run your ass forward no one believes the handoff fake

[Irish Wrist Watch 1503]

What the fuck is wrong with this fucking coach. That's the worst wildcat I've ever seen. It takes away options. It adds nothing. Fuck. Fake a run, throw a TD pass. QB can fake right, then go left with RB #2. Anything but that shit which came damn close to failing on the last 4th and one. Stupid bastard.

He is standing there completely uncovered.  An occasional wrinkle is your friend

Gotta throw outta the RoCat every once and a while

I feel like that's the long game, but we gotta win this one first.

[hookemATL 12307]

Here come the turnover. Overshown is due. 

[Surly Bevo 25774]

You gotta throw out of it at some point to keep them honest.  Our current Oline strength is pass blocking and edge plays....take advantage of them.

Has to have something else off the formation.  Rojo needs to RPO to the TE or Card for Christ sakes. 

[UTEX_ME 4289]

I’ve never seen a coaching staff try so hard not to use their best back

[Bevoette 1507]

Ugh well, shit.

Or get him out of the game. Put someone over there that they have to devote attention to.

Not on 4th and 2 when everyone in the country knows who's gonna get the carry.  A quick kick would have been preferable.

[TexArcher 39074]

I like Reggie Bush is making funny commercials about the fact that he stole VY's Heisman.

[Atticus 4222]

I like the play call, but you gotta be able to motion out of it to account for stacked boxes. You can't run that play without having a solid numbers advantage.

Missed opportunity 

Yeah our defense gave us a turnover on downs at tech 40yd line.  

Missed opportunity by our offense... Damn

Let's forget the wildcat today.

the wildcat is great. it sucks balls leaving the qb in wide. every time i see them do it with Card wide i start cussing out the tv. Sark must be trying to set up one play against OU where we throw it to the QB, but it isnt worth wasting all these important opportunities.

[Ignatius 4148]

What’s the point in having Card as WR in the cat, other than somehow making it even more obvious we’re not going to throw the ball?

[Nicole44 22326]

Good call to go for it there, bad play. I cannot believe what I’m about say, but I agree with Rod Gilmore

I think we all collectively groaned when we saw the RoCat happening. Sark needs to stop squatting and look at the field. Lulz. 

[Majorcholas 560]

Everyone who wanted rocat instead of card last week can shut up now.

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

If you’re gonna run wildcat then run K Robinson in motion and then toss it to him in space. No way he doesn’t get two yards. Why run a slow TE that everyone knows isn’t getting the ball. He does the same thing every time, fake the handoff and take it himself. 

[Don Hornleone 530]

Huston got whipped. 
 

but still’ that play call was atrocious.

[hookem48 4857]

everyone screaming for the wildcat go fuck yourself

You must have amnesia and forgot Tom Herman didn't use Bijan in his freshman season.

[Rickylovesweed 15563]

I didn't like the 3rd and 4 call either. Tech playing soft coverage just like on 2nd down. Just swing it outside and it's an easy 1st down.

Don't you have a sister you should be fucking?

Haha thats all you got?  I expected more from Texas fans are you sure you're not an Aggie?

[Gut Wagon 8219]

That wildcat set needs some rethinking. And by that I mean rethinking whether or not it should even stay in our playbook. 

[houstonevo8 74]

Even if he converted, I hate that play call. 

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

You mix wildcat in when they aren’t expecting it running tempo not only on short downs when they stack the fucking box. 

[BarthHollamew 252]

Getting a turnover and handing it right back to the opponent reminds me of the Herman days.  

[austintiger 111]

Sark the genius ...my dog knew what was coming there.

[Sleepygrad 1042]

catch that Watts

[Modessit 5667]

Most unimaginative formation possible now, I’m pretty certain Johnson has never done anything but keep it on the wildcat. 

Bijan Johnson had a long TD run last week. Pretty sure that was out of the RoCat.

In classy shaggy style…we would get stuffed and then we would all call the coach a moron for “running a horizontal play when all you need is 2 yds and have the best rb room in the country….DURRRRRR”

Lol what? 

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Now they’re gonna drive and score and make it a 3 point game when we had the short field to make it a 17 point game. Classic Texas game script. 

[Firemans4Horn 18533]

Their quarterback has some awful footwork. 

[gmr548 16703]

Stop the bullshit wildcat and give it to Bijan. Fuck.

Any run would have been blown up there. This is an OL issue at its root. Quick passing is shredding Tech, and you have a lot of options in that department to get *checks notes *… two yards.

Note Sark’s let them back in the game.

[Sgt Hulk 14469]

Watts isn’t good is he 

[Horn80 6361]

Shitty tackling returns

[millhouse 2733]

We have to stop missing tackles

[AUS-97HORN 12052]

why the fuck can this team not either wrap up.... or at least hang onto a runner 

[Zhorn96 1835]

for fucks sake, tackle

[4Pete 156]

Barbecue, breakfast tacos, and missed tackles….

[StassneyHorn 6785]

If Steve isn't going to use Roschon, a former QB, to show a pass, he needs to stop. I keep holding out hope he will, was calling for it during Bama.
