Cody Daniel: Initial thoughts from No. 22 Texas’ 37-34 OT loss to Texas Tech

Quote

Is it 2021? The product the No. 22 Texas Longhorns put on the field on Saturday afternoon would certainly suggest so, and unsurprisingly, it ended with a 37-34 overtime loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Here are a few initial thoughts from the Longhorns latest loss.

This was the kind of loss that should directly impact expectations for a season. In nearly every aspect aside from some flashes from Bijan Robinson — who ironically effectively sealed the loss with a fumble on the first play of overtime — Texas looked like a terrible team, top to bottom. Weak physically. Poor execution. A lack of discipline. Unable to capitalize on opportunities. Questionable coaching. A complete lack of adjustments. Etc. All of this a week after, in a sense, getting humbled by struggling with UTSA for three quarters, and Texas follows that up with their worst showing of the year. More concerning, though, is they looked almost exactly like the Longhorns of 2021, all the way down to the 14-point second half collapse. Yes, it’s just one loss, but it’s an incredibly telling one.

Texas has to do a much better job of getting off the field on third and fourth downs. In that regard, they were mostly horrible in Lubbock on Saturday. 3rd and 1. 4th and 7. 3rd and 6. 4th and Goal. 3rd and 26. 3rd and 1. 4th and 5. 4th and 1. 3rd and 1. 3rd and 7. 3rd and 12. 4th and 5. 4th and 3. Each conversion noted helped Texas Tech not only stay in the game, but ultimately win it. And worse, often times in these moments, they were simply out-muscled and caught out position, which is much less than ideal in a close contest on the road — especially when the game was close because the defense couldn’t get off the field when it had chances.

The Longhorns got completely overwhelmed in the trenches. That goes for both sides of the ball. Offensively, a young group that’s flashed some promise early looked a lot like the unit last year that often times could have been generously described as porous. the Red Raiders were able to completely smother them at times, preventing Hudson Card from having much time to work, and swarming when Texas attempted to run. On the other side, while the rush defense performed fairly well, they seldom got impactful pressure on Donovan Smith, who enjoyed opportunity after opportunity to pick the Texas secondary apart for 331 yards and two touchdowns. Just weeks ago against Alabama of all teams, Texas finally seemed to be SEC-ready in the trenches, and now they seem to be a shelf of their recent self.

Sark simply has to find a way to get things going in the right direction. He’s now 7-9 at Texas, falling back outside of the top 25 a third of the way through the season, and given how his team has performed the last couple of weeks, you probably cant’t circle any game left on the schedule and comfortable guarantee Texas wins, largely because the team appears to be regressing each week since the loss to Alabama. Losses in which your team and staff perform so poorly on so many levels are obviously going to cause some concern, and things aren’t going to get any easier for the Longhorns going forward. And to be sure, it’s just one loss, but how underwhelming the Texas looked in the loss makes it hard to believe there won’t be at least a few more.

(Ian Boyd) Five quick thoughts: Groundhog Day in Lubbock

Quote

Like many Big 12 games for Texas in 2021, there were moments in this contest where it appeared the Longhorns might bury their opponent in the second half only to instead sputter and run out of fuel before blowing a lead. The defense’s situational play-making was missing as they slowly turned “bend don’t break” into breaking. The offense went dry and contributed to the issue with only 199 yards in the second half and a fair number of them from desperate two-minute completions which forced a surprising overtime.

A bigger issue was Texas’ inability to corral Donovan Smith on 3rd and 4th down, the Red Raiders went for it on virtually every 4th down situation and converted six of eight to grind out a win in a contest the Longhorns once lead 31-17. This was a bad opening loss to start the conference season and an ominous sign of unresolved issues with the team which may or may not find a solution with better health from key players.

Quick thought no. 1: Missing dimension

If there’s a saving grace for Texas in this game in terms of making the most of their opportunities in Big 12 play, it’s the fact they were missing two important offensive pieces in this game. Hudson Card played a pretty good game but couldn’t land any shots which might have cleared some space on offense or kick started some second half drives. Much more impactful to this game was the loss of Xavier Worthy. Without their star, deep-threat receiver the Longhorns struggled to punish some of the defensive strategies by the Red Raiders.

Overall while Card threw for 277 yards at 9.2 ypa, a very productive day, the Longhorns were missing the deep passing game and general explosiveness Xavier Worthy (or Isaiah Neyor) would provide. Card has played pretty well this season and gives Texas a higher floor than perhaps has been appreciated but this team loses a ton of ceiling when Worthy isn’t on the field even if he hasn’t brought down many deep throws yet.

Quick thought no. 2: Tech pressured with their defensive gameplan

It was a good gameplan by the Red Raiders. They weren’t going to allow Texas to just lean into the Ro-cat (wildcat with Roschon Johnson) and Bijan Robinson en route to a big win behind 200+ rushing yards if they could help it. They played a lot of single-high man coverage in this game and pressed up on the receivers quite a bit, especially once Worthy was out of the picture. It was a boom or bust approach to defense, daring Texas to blow them out landing shots in the passing game.

Tech head coach Joey McGuire complimented this defensive strategy with an aggressive approach to offense heavy on tempo, going for it on 4th down at every opportunity. They were going to up the variance and get as many plays as they could to erase a deficit and try to win a shootout late once they were down. There was no alignment to allow Texas to hold the ball with steady passing or runs, the Longhorns were going to have to go over the top or break a long run and they couldn’t manage either.

Perhaps with more opportunities on offense they might have leaned on the Tech defense down the stretch as they did in the 2nd quarter, but the opportunities were not forthcoming. A great encapsulation of the 2nd half came when Texas was backed up to their own goal line after successfully stopping 4th and goal from the Raiders at the end of a long drive.

  • 1st and 10: Big formation, downhill power run to Bijan thwarted by Cole Hutson losing his man and a blitzer off the backside hitting him from behind.
  • 2nd and 9: Card tries to punish press coverage with a slot fade route to Tarique Milton where he leads him further outside than his trajectory. Incomplete.
  • 3rd and 9: Delay of game. 3rd and 10: incomplete again and punt.

Tech gets the ball, goes back down the field and ties the game at 31.

Quick thought no. 3: Groundhog Day on defense

This defense is certainly improved, but they continue to have a bend don’t break approach which isn’t being paired with 3rd down/4th down success to get off the field. Tech was 7-20 on 3rd down and 6-8 on 4th while the Longhorns went 3-9 on 3rd down and 1-2 on 4th. The Raiders’ ability to hold the ball really took its toll. They ran 100 plays to Texas’ 60. 100 plays to 60…

Time of possession told a similar story but it’s hard to beat a team if they run 100 plays and you run 60. Your 60 plays better be awfully successful and even if they are your defense is going to have issues down the stretch. I’m not sure the Texas defense necessarily wore down in this game, but they had issues throughout because of the need to substitute in some players in the back seven who were consistently less effective than the starters. It made for an awful watch.

  • 1st and 10: Texas stuffs the inside zone run game from Tech.
  • 2nd and 10: Tech completes a short route for 3-4 yards.
  • 3rd and 6: Texas brings a blitz, they have Smith! They don’t…he escapes and finds a receiver for a first down or close enough to pick it up on the following drive.

Over and over again. On initial watch there wasn’t an obvious, recurring issue on defense which lead to the conversions save for a general inability to handle…

Quick thought no. 4: Donovan Smith

The quarterback we’d seen struggle to know where to go with the football or feel pressure in the past few weeks was not on the field for Texas Tech in this game. He wasn’t replaced by Behren Morton though, he just grew up. Donovan Smith did have some issues early against the blitz but he kept his composure, avoided interceptions, broke tackles, and was very effective as a runner both as a scrambler falling forward for the chains and hitting crossing patterns into vacated zones against the blitz.

The Raiders did go back to the well too often on their quarterback zone-follow play from 12 personnel (a Tom Herman staple the Cyclones stopped on that fateful 4th and 1 back in 2020) and got stopped on the goal line. Generally though, Smith was terrific on that concept and either breaking free from pass-rushers or fighting through tacklers to find the chains.

His line on the day is a perfect encapsulation of the game. 38-56 passing for 331 yards at 5.9 ypa with two touchdowns and zero picks. A passing line which would portend a smothering defensive performance normally. However, he also ran the ball 15 times for 42 yards at a deceivingly low 2.8 ypc and one rushing touchdown which allowed the otherwise paltry passing numbers to suffice for long, sustained drives. It was a Sam Ehlinger-type performance really, mixing steady Air Raid passing with power running from the spread.

Quick thought no. 5: Sideshow Bert with the near save

Hudson Card executed the two-minute offense with precision and set up a field goal attempt from Bert Auburn from 48 which he absolutely nailed. It almost looked like the broadcast crew might have to dig back into the archives and use the 2020 highlights rather than the 2008 upset win by Tech. But no, it went differently. Bijan Robinson had a good day overall but the pressure of having to create explosive runs against loaded boxes will catch up to you eventually. His final line was 16 carries for 101 yards at 6.3 ypc with two touchdowns and a fumble in overtime which sealed the Longhorns’ fate.

Texas is now 0-1 in all-important conference play with a dangerous home game next week against West Virginia and the Red River Shootout looming. They need their vertical passing game to allow them to handle these inevitable Big 12 tactics by either scoring loads of points or presenting enough of a threat to clear space for Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson. Getting Quinn Ewers back could help, they really need Xavier Worthy as well.

Should be throwing his DC under the bus

Sark should be throwing himself under the bus.  That was probably his worst coaching effort since he's been here.  Sure Worthy was out but the lack of any adjustments offensively including the horrible 4th down call early in the 3rd quarter set the tone.  At some point, Sark is going to have to turn over the play calling to an offensive coordinator.  That performance was downright embarrassing and pretty much kills the season IMO.

That’s fair. He should be throwing himself under the bus for bringing back PK. This was a repeat of last year - let the opposing team execute exactly what they want to do and fail to adjust.

I don’t understand the offensive play calling. At times he looks genius and at others he looks like turtle Tom. Offense is effectively more bipolar mensa

Here is my thought of the game, save your 9.95. Tech realized Card can not beat them deep and Texas can’t force the run. They went 1 high and got up on WRs (No Worthy helped). PK faced the the exact same thing and mostly sat back in 2 high. He basically let Card beat him throwing underneath.

it's not like Sark hasn't said a 1,000 times he needs the deep threat for his offense to work, no Worthy, no deep threat.

I was more amazed Tech came out in the first half scared to give up the deep ball. The book is written on Card. Make him beat you over the top. If he does, so be it. Brennen and Hall both have the speed to be deep threats

And no one in that locker room will care. Most of them already made their 150k plus this year. Some of them over $1,000,000

They don’t give a crap

I’m ALL for these young men getting their money but damn Worthy does give up on a lot of plays. People forget he’s a hired mercenary. Wish we had more Roschons

(Scipio Tex) 2022 Texas Tech Post Mortem: Offense

Quote

If I told you before the game that the Texas offense averaged 7.1 yards per play while Texas Tech averaged 4.8 yards per play and asked you to guess the score, you would probably have predicted a three touchdown Longhorn win. Or at least a double digit separation. Unfortunately, that’s not how it played out. The Red Raiders ran 40 more plays from scrimmage, owned 4th down a half dozen times, and that queered the results substantially.

This Texas offensive post mortem will be relatively short and sweet, unlike so many of Tech’s offensive possessions. Steve Sarkisian and Texas sliced up Texas Tech in the first half, with the Horns scoring on 4 of 5 first half possessions. Early on, it looked like this:

Full house wheel route TD. Tech is lost. Note the Sanders hustle. And this:

Distraction in the flat with Whittington, crossers deep. Assignment killer.

The only possession Texas didn’t score on in the 1st half was an ill-advised deep ball interception to a safety standing over the top. As against UTSA, the main thing holding back the Texas offense in the opening half was the Longhorn defense’s inability to get it more possessions. Texas Tech’s corners couldn’t run with Xavier Worthy and in addition to the easy 39 yard touchdown toss to him running crossers, that fact created a lot of space elsewhere, which is why Whittington and the Texas running backs excelled early and often.

Then Worthy went out.

There was a good offseason debate about who our most valuable non-QB skill player is. I said Worthy. Others said Bijan. It’s Worthy. Heck, it may be Neyor. In the second half, Tech dared Texas to beat them deep or find separation and Texas could not. It was a steady dose of single high and press coverage with blitzing linebackers and the Tech front coming hard. The field got small for the Longhorn offense. When it had seemed so big just a few plays earlier.

Could Sark could have done more to manufacture the passing and running game? Probably. Was the repetitive RoCat lead power the best use of that formation against a hard charging front? Probably not. Would Sark like to have back the 2nd half possession coming out of the end zone after the Texas defense made a rare 4th down stop? I think so. Did Texas mismanage time outs at end of game, despite the assurances of one Rod Gilmore? In my estimation, yes.

That’s all worth discussion. But Texas dominated Tech offensively in the 1st half and then floundered in the second half when Worthy left the game. I understand the weak Texas second half narrative must be served and there are some areas where I still find it valid, but Worthy’s departure was a game-changing event. The only effective drive Texas had in its last four possessions was when Tech mistakenly called off the dogs by playing prevent with baby powder soft coverage that allowed the Card to Milton completion and eventually the Auburn game tying field goal.

QB

Hudson Card played his best opening stanza as a Longhorn, going 13 of 18 for 205 yards and two passing touchdowns in the game’s first 30 minutes. He was hitting designed layups and open guys on many of his drop backs, but he climbed the ladder, moved subtly in the pocket to buy time (see the drop off pass to Roschon that went for 20+) and then carried it over to the early 3rd quarter with a beautiful throw to Casey Cain on 3rd and long followed by a decisive 3rd down conversion run later in that drive. It was Card at his best. When the field got smaller with Worthy’s departure and Sark didn’t find ways to manufacture some workable throws using the running backs and tight end, Card was not able to throw guy’s open or show the feel-based ball placement needed on single coverage slot fades or the go routes which Tech was daring Texas to connect on. Overall, Card was 20 of 30 for 277 yards and certainly played well enough to win.

RB

A fantastic start to the game as Texas exploited Tech’s lack of speed at linebacker with both Robinsons and Roschon getting big gains and a touchdown in the passing game. As a runner, Bijan had 16 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns, but if you remove his 40 yard run, the Longhorn run game was inconsistent and Robinson certainly turned a couple of plays blocked for -3 yard into 3-8 yard gains. As for his fumble, that’s a football play. Great hit right on the ball. It just came at a terrible time. If I have a critique for #5, it’s that he squatted in the hole looking for a cut a couple of times instead of putting his pads down and taking a hard 4 yards and maybe running through someone.

Roschon played hard as usual. Not effective as a runner, particularly in RoCat: 9 carries, 15 yards. Not his fault really. Lack of push and outnumbered. You’d like to see Texas option that or allow him to throw a pop pass to Sanders. Keilan had an easy rumblin’ stumblin’ touchdown in the passing game where it looked like the turf monster might get him, but he delivered it to pay dirt. In total, the running backs had 80 yards on 4 catches. Might Texas have tried to be a little more persistent reviving them as pass catchers when Worthy departed? We’ll never know.

OL

A very mixed performance overall. They gave up too much interior pressure and Jaylon Hutchings worked over Majors (with Conner late) and then Cole Hutson with big pressures and hits on Card on key downs in the second half. They also struggled for consistency running outside zone and they’re not strong and physical enough to maul a defense without some help from bells and whistles. Their best run blocking play was the short side counter play touchdown by Bijan and they seem to excel better at man blocking than trying to exchange defenders in zone. Note Jake Majors pulling from center and getting a terrific block in space while JT Sanders seals the edge.

Currently, Texas doesn’t have a lot of options in its running game, which is to be expected with two true freshman starting. Christian Jones played pretty well for long stretches but had some lapses, most notably giving up a bad pressure inside that drew a hold when a blitzing linebacker ran right past his inside shoulder from distance. These guys just aren’t strong enough across the board to displace defenders firing straight out unless they can get more possessions and run more plays to wear down defenders late in drives or the game itself. They need help with a fully functioning offense around them that creates doubt and favorable angles.

WR/TE

Whittington was very good early but struggled to get separation as the emergency deep threat. 4 catches, 56 yards, good blocking. Worthy made Tech pay for man coverage running a crosser route with a 39 yard touchdown and looked poised for a big day before his injury. Had a contested drop on a go route where he clearly expected the ball inside. Casey Cain had a couple of nice grabs, but possibly didn’t play defense enthusiastically enough on the sideline route that Card hung up to the safety. Agiye Hall got his first action and caught a short ball and drew a pass interference. He will be integrated more if he can demonstrate understanding of the playbook. Beautiful catch by Milton on the final regulation Longhorn drive. He has lost speed from his prime at Iowa State. Good pass catching game from Sanders (5-40) and he showed up in a lot of hustle plays all game.

Final

The Texas offense dominated their few possessions and then fell off a cliff after they lost Worthy. This highlights the importance of Worthy, but also the importance of finding some other options in the game plan when Worthy isn’t there to open up the field. Easier typed than done, but that’s why the Texas offensive staff makes the big bucks.

Joe Cook: Texas' defense can't get TTU off the field, falls 37-34 in overtime

Quote

LUBBOCK, Texas — No. 22 Texas led the Texas Tech Red Raiders 24-14 at halftime thanks to touchdowns from Keilan Robinson and Bijan Robinson and a field goal from Bert Auburn. Although the Longhorns had a 10-point advantage on the scoreboard, the Red Raiders laid the groundwork for their eventual comeback. They ran seven more plays and held the ball for three more minutes in the first half. Tech would only make that margin larger.

They also figured out the Longhorn defense couldn’t stop them on fourth down. With a prolific Air Raid attack, Texas Tech put the pressure on Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense, and that defense crumbled.

Tech outscored Texas 23-10 in the second half and staved off Texas in overtime despite a late, game-tying rally. After Bijan Robinson fumbled possession away on the first play of the extra period, Tech kicker Trey Wolff was finally called into action on fourth down. His 20-yard field goal split the uprights, giving Texas Tech a 37-34 win, their first over UT in Lubbock since 2008.

“Our inability to get off the field was a real factor,” Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said postgame. “They went for it eight times on fourth down, got six of them, and of those six a few of those were close.” Those six fourth-down conversions stand as a Texas Tech record since they joined the Big 12 in 1996.

Texas Tech ran 100 total plays in the game, including a whopping 60 in the second half. Red Raider head coach Joey McGuire went for it on fourth down regularly and succeeded. Tech’s first drive had two fourth-down conversions, including one that resulted in the first of three total touchdowns for TTU quarterback Donovan Smith.

McGuire’s decisions proved to be the difference. Those conversions helped the Red Raiders continue drives that put 20 of their 23 second-half points on the board. Those decisions also kept a tired Texas defense on the field, and a Texas offense that was hit-or-miss on the sidelines. “At the end of the day, when you play 100 plays on defense and you only run 60 on offense, that’s not a great formula for success in any league,” Sarkisian said.

Smith stayed on the field for a significant amount of time with the Red Raider offense, but he rarely was brought down onto the playing surface. Texas had two sacks total in the game, one on a Smith scramble where D’Shawn Jamison was the closest player when Smith ran out of bounds before the line of scrimmage. The other was via DeMarvion Overshown after his targeting suspension had passed.

With room to operate, Smith was proficient in the Tech offense. He finished 38-for-56 for 331 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 42 yards and a score on the ground. Texas threw multiple defensive looks at him, but the tired front and secondary could not get him before he gained the necessary yards. “We couldn’t get the quarterback on the ground to get them off the field, which was disappointing,” Sarkisian said.

That wasn’t just on first, second, or third downs. It was on all four downs, and it made the difference in what will go down as a signature win for McGuire. Smith completed passes to 11 different receivers, with Myles Price leading the Red Raiders with 13 catches for 98 yards. Baylor Cupp also record a 50+ yard game with four catches for 65 yards and a score.

The Longhorns struck quickly on the opening drive, with Hudson Card finding Keilan Robinson for a 35-yard score. Auburn continued the Longhorn scoring effort with a 40-yard field goal before Bijan Robinson and Xavier Worthy added second-quarter touchdowns to give the Longhorns their 10-point, 24-14 halftime advantage. That touchdown be the last catch of the day for Worthy. He was knocked out of the game with what Sarkisian described as a lower leg injury. X-rays were negative.

Without Worthy, Texas was operating without its best receiver. Sarkisian asked his backup quarterback and an offensive line with three players making their first career road starts to carry Texas to victory without the complete array of offensive weapons they entered the year with.

Card operated well with Worthy, but it was tough sledding for the offense without him. He finished the game 20-of-30 for 277 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Texas managed just one more touchdown in the second half via a 40-yard Bijan Robinson rush.

Card even orchestrated a furious late-game rally while down three-points with just over 20 seconds left on the clock. He put the Longhorns in position to send the game to overtime, and Auburn followed through with a 48-yard field goal as time expired. But Robinson fumbled away possession in overtime, and Sarkisian notched another loss despite holding a halftime lead after the aggressive Red Raiders mounted their comeback.

Texas hosts West Virginia this weekend in Austin, and looks to notch its first Big 12 victory of the 2022 campaign. The Longhorns will also look to keep their offense on the field a little bit longer than the 24:06 they recorded today. Otherwise, the defense will be asked to hold up against another Air Raid style offense. How they fare (and how many plays they have to defend) remains to be determined.

(Justin Wells) Notes & Quotes: Texas Tech 37, Texas 34 (OT)

Quote

After No. 22 Texas (2-2) went 46 yards in four plays in 21 seconds, Bert Auburn’s 45-yard kick sent the Longhorns into overtime from Jones Stadium in Lubbock on Saturday. But on the first play, Bijan Robinson fumbled the ball, Texas Tech (3-1) picked it up, and drilled the 20-yarder for the upset win; Texas Tech 37, No. 22 Texas 34. Here’s some notes and quotes from the Texas players following the game.

Texas RB Bijan Robinson, on Wildcat and staying focused on the season: “They game planned for it well. They had it closed inside and had contain for it outside. I don’t think it’s a deflation (the loss) – I think it’s a learning experience for us. Adversity strikes – and we got to keep our head up and not let this get in between us. We’ve got a lot of games ahead. We’ve got a long season to play, and a lot of football games we want to win. You know, we’re not going to look back and we’re going to move past this. ”

Texas QB Hudson Card: “It’s just part of the journey. It’s a bump in the road but it doesn’t define our season. A lot of games left to played. Obviously a receiver like Xavier (Worthy) is going to help out offense, but you know, it’s next man up and after (Worthy) went down, the guys that came in did a great job. It obviously hurts (losing) a talented receiver like Worthy. There’s always plays we wish we would get back, but we’ll learn from it

Texas DL Keondre Coburn: “I was trying my ass off to get pressure. We’re tired but we trained for this. And we’re going to do whatever we can to basically make it through those hot spots throughout the game. (Tech) just executed better and how frustrating it was giving up third downs. We have to execute better and put more pressure. It was hard to get (Donovan Smith) off the field. I think he did his thing he was supposed to do to get the victory.”

Key Note: It was Texas Tech’s first win over UT at home since 2008, when they upset the No. 1 Longhorns.

Texas loses one WR and the whole offense goes to crap?  BS.  How many times have opponents lost a player and the next player comes in motivated and outplays expectations.  Never happens for Texas.  I wonder why?  Maybe a weak, loser culture?  Milton lost speed since he left ISU?  Gimme an effin break.  Brennen Thompson should be on the field.  Sanders should be stepping up.  5 Star Whittington should shoulder some load.  All this BS about Texas playing well but fell short because they list a player is loser talk.  I will never give money to these charlatans producing swill for the naive.

 

The loss comes down to  a lack of toughness, discipline, and coaching strategy.  Texas played up for Alabama like Tech plays up for us.  But Alabama has enough discipline to win.  Texas doesn't.

Tech had neither an elite deep threat WR nor their starting QB, and they beat us regardless. They didn't need to take the top off our defense to win, they just took what PK conceded to them every. single. time. Now throw in our complete incompetence on money downs and it's a recipe for failure.

Jeff Howe: Texas Tech forces Texas to ponder what went wrong in another close loss

Quote

LUBBOCK, Texas — When Texas Tech linebacker Krishon Merriweather jarred a ball out of the arms of Texas running back Bijan Robinson on the first play of overtime, the red-and-black clad majority of the 60,975 fans packed into Jones AT&T Stadium on a scorching-hot Saturday sucked up the air coming out of the balloon the Longhorns inflated while pushing Saturday’s 37-34 loss to the Red Raiders beyond regulation. Quarterback Hudson Card drove Texas (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) 46 yards in 19 seconds to set the table for Bert Auburn’s 48-yard field goal at the gun and bring forth the real possibility of the Longhorns avoiding their fifth loss under head coach Steve Sarkisian when owning a halftime lead.

“You practice those types of situations for when the moments come and we executed perfectly,” wide receiver Jordan Whittington said of a pressure-packed drive where Card went 3-for-3, including a 28-yard strike to Iowa State transfer Tarique Milton. “It was unfortunate what happened on the first play overtime, but it's football. It's an emotional game and it goes back and forth like that.”

Instead of taking advantage of an opportunity to go for the kill, Trey Wolff booting home a game-winning 20-yard field goal five plays after Robinson’s fumble made Texas Tech (3-1, 1-0) the fourth opponent in an 11-game stretch going back to last season to hand Texas a loss after trailing by double digits in the second half. The story played out in a familiar, unsavory fashion: the defense couldn’t get off the field, the offense clammed up in the second half and the Longhorns couldn’t make enough positive plays to overcome the ones they left on the field.

“I'm disappointed on our end because we didn't play a brand of football that I think we've grown accustomed to, but I think things add up in football,” Sarkisian said. “Some of the errors and things that occurred early in the game that we didn't take advantage of reared their ugly head late because the game became what the game was.”

One of those things was Texas surviving a failed fourth-down conversion — a Wildcat run by Roschon Johnson that went nowhere on fourth-and-2 from the 32-yard line of the Red Raiders — and holding the Red Raiders to a field goal at the end of a 15-play drive in the third quarter and eventually taking a 31-17 lead on a 40-yard touchdown run by Robinson with 4:27 left in the quarter. “I’ve gotta call a better play, obviously, in that situation,” Sarkisian said of the failed fourth-down where he felt the Longhorns could’ve opened things up.

Nevertheless, a two-touchdown lead with less than 20 minutes of game time remaining provided enough of a cushion for Texas to finish off Texas Tech and open conference play with a hard-fought road victory. The offense’s next eight plays, however, netted 19 total yards, including consecutive three-and-outs. The second of those put Tech’s offense on a 30-yard field, which it took advantage of to the tune of a 19-yard touchdown pass from Donovan Smith to Baylor Cupp to tie the game, 31-31, with 7:54 remaining in regulation.

“Too inconsistent offensively,” Sarkisian said of an afternoon where his charges averaged 7.1 yards per play and 18 percent of their snaps were explosive in nature (11 of 60 plays included four runs of at least 10 yards and seven pass completion of least 15 yards), Robinson ran for more than 100 yards (101 on 16 carries with two touchdowns) and Card set career-high marks for attempts (30), completions (20) and yards passing (277) to go along with two touchdowns through the air. “It was very big-little. We struggled to protect the quarterback and to win on first down in the second half. We had some missed opportunities in the passing game where we didn't make catches that we're accustomed to making and then, ultimately, we turned the ball over twice, which we hadn't done here the last couple of weeks.”

The inability to sustain drives when it mattered (an occurrence made all the more problematic without the services of wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who caught three passes for 50 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown, and didn’t return after halftime due to a lower left-leg injury) compounded issues for Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense, which couldn’t get off of the field when it needed to in high-leverage situations. Even with two fourth-down stops to the defense's credit (one on the Red Raiders’ series before Longhorns’ own turnover on downs and another and Vernon Broughton making the initial hit to keep Smith out of the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line to leave Tech wanting at the end of a 13-play, 66-yard drive), the six times Smith and Co. moved the chains in a do-or-die situation stands an FBS-high in 2022 and the most for the Red Raiders since 2000.

“Of those six, a few of those were close,” Sarkisian said. “We couldn't get the quarterback on the ground to get them off the field, which was disappointing.”

Five of Tech’s six scoring drives in regulation featured a fourth-down conversion along the way. The lone march to points where the Red Raiders didn’t need to convert on fourth down saw Smith take advantage of a free play when the Texas defense jumped offsides early in the second quarter on third-and-26 from the Tech 44-yard line by taking a shot down the home sideline to wideout Nehemiah Martinez, who drew a defensive pass interference call against true freshman defensive back Jaylon Guilbeau to bring up a fresh set of downs at the Texas 41.

In an offensive-centric, space-and-pace era of college football, limiting an opponent to 4.8 yards per play is good enough to win a lot of games. With that said, it’s not good enough when the opponent’s critical-down conversion rate (13 of Tech’s 31 first downs came on third or fourth-down conversions) leads to them getting off 100 plays, and the opponent plays a turnover-free despite coming into Saturday as one of the nation’s worst offenses in giveaways (eight) and turnover margin (minus-5).

“We had some opportunities, the ball got loose, but we didn't create any turnovers,” Sarkisian said. “At the end of the day, when you play 100 plays on defense and you only run 60 on offense, that's not a great formula for success in any league.” The catalyst for the Tech offense was Smith (6-for-10 for 77 yards on third down), who entered the game with five interceptions thrown through three games with two of those interceptions getting returned for touchdowns.

Texas defended a quarterback whose NFL passer rating heading into the game was 21.9 when pressured according to Pro Football Focus and 53.9 when blitzed as though they were waiting for Smith to make a mistake. Unfortunately for the Longhorns, Smith never did as was only sacked twice on a day when he went 38-for-56 through the air for 331 yards and run the ball 15 times for 42 more and while having a hand in four touchdowns.

“I don't know,” defensive tackle Keondre Coburn said when asked why Texas couldn’t get more pressure on Smith. “I was trying my ass off to get pressure.”

The Longhorns showed plenty of fight in Lubbock and pulled off an incredible feat to be alive at the end of the fourth quarter, but they didn’t do enough to finish off the Red Raiders when they had a chance to potentially run away with a win. As a result, they’ll enter next Saturday’s home tilt with West Virginia (2-2, 0-1) looking up at Texas Tech and Kansas (4-0, 1-0) among others in the Big 12 standings.

Pushing then-No. 1 Alabama to the limit two weeks ago now looks like another missed opportunity rather than a jumping-off point for the current Texas squad to prove things are going in a different, better direction than where they stood at the end of last season’s 5-7 campaign.

With the circumstances being what they are, the one-point loss to the Crimson Tide and Saturday’s loss to Tech merely look like additions to the long list of shoulda-woulda-coulda performances 16 games into Sarkisian’s tenure. It’s a tenure where the head coach currently owns a 7-9 overall record with seven of the nine losses decided by eight points or less and the Longhorns owning a lead heading into the fourth quarter in five of the nine, two trends Texas needs to see die in sooner rather than later to show improvement where it matters.

“It's frustrating, because I know we're better than the way we played today,” Sarkisian said. “For whatever reason, that's my job to go figure out why we didn't play better football today because I think we had an opportunity today to really take hold of the ball game and we didn't do it. That's a killer instinct that I know we've been working on that we've got to continue to strive to get right to be able to put people away.

“We had an opportunity today," he added. "We didn't do it.”

We got beat in the trenches all day long.

the OL could barely fucking run block, and I certainly think running inside is stupid with this team.

the DL could never get a sack, and got gaped. It was fucking awful and then the QB kept steam rolling them. 

that 4th down thing is downright embarrassing. Idk wtf these guys are being coached on defense, but it isn’t good.

Tech had neither an elite deep threat WR nor their starting QB, and they beat us regardless. They didn't need to take the top off our defense to win, they just took what PK conceded to them every. single. time. Now throw in our complete incompetence on money downs and it's a recipe for failure.

PK and Patterson simply stole Tech’s 2nd half game plan on defense I think Texas wins. Marion needs to get Agiye up to speed, if Worthy is out. Brennen may take some time. I put most of the loss on the defensive staff

Not this shit again.

The non-football explanations for football failures have been rampant for THIRTEEN years, 4 coaching staffs, 3 athletic directors, 4(?) university presidents...

Bobby Burton: Reeling after a Texas loss

Quote

I’m still in a bit of shock. Texas lost a game it shouldn’t have. They lost a game after being up by more than two scores in the second half.

I’ll start with the defense. The opponent converted 6 of 8 fourth down attempts. The pass rush didn’t get home. The defense created no turnovers. Void of any real disruptors on defense, Texas allowed an opposing team to dink and dunk their way down the field almost all game long. What’s more concerning for the remainder of the season, dink and dunk is exactly how almost the entire rest of the Big 12 tries to play, and it’s exactly what occurred to the Horns a year ago, too.

So if the Horns couldn’t handle it last year and yesterday from Tech, who is decidedly not supremely talented at receiver or along the OL, what are the Horns going to look like when they play teams who are better? Is it going to be a death by a thousand cuts? Again? In this league, the best defense is to keep your offense on the field. The Texas defense apparently couldn’t help itself much. And that’s a problem for which there are no easy solutions, unfortunately.

As for the Texas offense, the Horns never really got the run game going in large part because Texas Tech never respected the deep ball. The Red Raiders routinely crowded the box. Running lanes were sparse and open only sporadicly. Sure, Hudson Card played admirably at times, including a pair of third down conversions in the third quarter. But he was also late on a couple throws, too, especially one to Jordan Whittington along the sideline that would have been a huge conversion in the fourth-quarter.

The offensive line appeared overwhelmed by blitz after blitz and Tech’s interior guys gave the Horns more problems than the edge rushers. The loss of Xavier Worthy for the second half surely hurt. Bijan Robinson’s late fumble was deadly. But at least on offense, there might be solutions on the way. Worthy’s x-Ray was negative. Quinn Ewers is on the mend.

On the other hand, all the defense was missing was Moro Ojomo, a solid player but not exactly a disruptor. This morning, I have no answer for what we saw in Lubbock. Not on defense at least. And I’m unsure if Steve Sarkisian does either.

(Scipio Tex) 2022 Texas Tech Post Mortem: Defense/Special Teams

Quote

Special Teams

I’ll start with special teams because I don’t want Bert Auburn’s clutch kicking to go unappreciated in the loss. Sideshow Bert drilled two field goals from 40+ with his last try a pressure-packed 48 yarder to tie the game and push it into overtime. Auburn is now 9 of 11 on field goals for the season and a perfect 5 of 5 on kicks between 40-49 yards. One of those misses was a tipped ball. He’s also perfect on extra points. So far, Auburn has been a team strength. Danny Trejo punted effectively and since replacing Isaac Pearson he has been a stabilizing force and demonstrated increased competence each week.

Defense

For the second straight week, the Texas defense opened the game by allowing back-to-back time-consuming touchdown drives from an offense that had been struggling. The Red Raiders opened with a 18 play, 75 yard touchdown drive where they converted two 3rd downs and two 4th downs, followed immediately by a 13 play, 80 yard touchdown drive in which they converted only one 3rd down. But that was a 3rd and 26. Texas linebacker David Gbenda jumped offsides, abetting a free play downfield shot that resulted in a Jaylon Guilbeau pass interference. Eventually, Tech cashed in on a blown coverage touchdown toss. Starting the game conceding 5 of 5 3rd and 4th down conversions allowing 14 points on 31 plays over two drives doesn’t suggest a strong initial game plan. Or maybe Tech’s default game plan fits with Kwiatkowski’s preferences.

To date, the only thing Texas Tech’s offense had shown that they can do with any proficiency is throw accurate balls short. Pete Kwiatkowski’s game plan allowed the opposing offense its only competency since it fit snugly within his larger defensive philosophy of keeping the ball in front of the defense. Generally, the idea of a defensive game plan is to craft and execute a strategy to take away what a team does best. At least situationally. To make them play left-handed. To make them demonstrate that they will have to do other things to hurt you.

Coming in to this game, Texas Tech had lost seven turnovers over their last two games, including two pick 6s. Additionally, Donovan Smith’s numbers under pressure were terrible. Tech also surrendered 10 sacks against Houston and NC State with numerous other pressures. Against those two opponents, Tech was a combined 10 of 37 on money downs – a 27% success rate.

How did Texas fare? On Saturday, Smith put it up 56 times with no turnovers while completing 38 of 56 (68%) throws. Texas notched two sacks and surrendered first downs on just under half of Tech money down plays. Tech was 13 of 28 on 3rd and 4th down. Of course, Tech going 6 of 8 on 4th down is much more powerful than that aggregate number. Does it matter if Texas stops Tech on any 3rd down where they then went on to convert 4th down? The net effect is 100% success in obtaining a new set of downs, even if a failed 3rd down and successful 4th down suggests a 50% “success” rate in aggregate. Make sense? Player indiscipline was one culprit.

Two seniors go offsides here for a free Tech shot downfield:

Interestingly, after Texas Tech’s first two scoring drives, they had a four possession drought on offense where they gained 22 yards on 13 plays. Had Texas adjusted to the one note Red Raider offense? Just when that thought started to embed in Longhorn minds, Tech made their own tweaks (or just kept doing what they’d been doing a little better) and had the following game ending possessions:

15-59, Field goal

12-75, Touchdown

13-66, Turned over on downs, Texas 2 yard line

5-30, Touchdown

11-56, Field Goal

5-23, Field Goal (OT)

Over their last 6 possessions of the game, Tech was going to drive and score points. In methodical, agonizing fashion.

Giving up 6 of 8 on 4th down conversions was a result of both bad situational coaching and player indiscipline. Multiple Longhorn players helped give Tech new downs with unforced penalties and the Texas staff never showed the ability to adjust to a fairly narrow set of Tech offensive options. Over the course of the game, a defensive coordinator generally develops a feel for what the offense is trying to do on 3rd and 4th down. Tech never really had to alter their basic offensive game plan. After watching 16 games of the Texas defensive approach under Sark’s regime, it appears that the Texas defensive staff doesn’t understand that not giving up a big play isn’t the only concern on defense if smaller chain moving plays are so easily obtained at key moments. Particularly on money downs. Texas is allowing opponent offenses to dominate and control the tempo of the game.

How about situational football more broadly? When Bijan Robinson fumbled and Tech got the ball for their overtime possession, their task is straightforward. No negative plays or turnovers. Kick a field goal. They are going to run the ball. Inside the tackles. The job of the Longhorn defense is to hold them down and/or inflict a negative play to entice more offensive risk-taking on 2nd and 3rd down for a miracle turnover or simply to lengthen Tech’s field goal try.

Texas rolls out with two safeties deep and Overshown walked up on the edge to blitz, removed from the second level or an opportunity to shoot a gap. Overshown blitzes from wide against what is clearly going to be an interior run. SaRodorick Thompson runs for 17 yards through that vacated interior spot. Note the pad levels from Sweat and Oghoufo. Jerrin Thompson and Jaylan Ford false step as if Tech is running Smith wide with a motion man carrying out a jogging play fake. On the bright side, Tech didn’t throw the ball over the defense’s head. Game over.

DL

The Texas defensive line actually got some pressure early and in spurts throughout, but they seemed to wear down, particularly in the second half. Keondre Coburn had a strong 1st half (drew a hold) and a poor second. T’vondre Sweat made some second half plays, including a batted ball and a hustle play on the sideline. Alfred Collins got his most snaps of the season and had some really good moments. Byron Murphy was excellent and almost single handedly stopped Donovan Smith’s QB power runs on a terrific goal line stand. No Ojomo and his motor was missed. The edge players were adequate but wore down and none of them could simulate what either the Houston or NC State’s edge players did in terms of disruption.

LB

They were OK. Ford had another double digit tackle game and Overshown was effective in the second half, notching a sack. Gbenda created new life for a dead Tech drive that ended in a touchdown with his offsides. Tucker-Dorsey should have excelled in this type of game opposing Tech’s short passing game but was largely quiet.

DB

It seems that they largely did their jobs within the scheme provided though there were too many busts on tight end coverage near the red zone. Cook had a career high 14 tackles with 11 of them solo. Barron played well: 9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss jumping on perimeter throws. Guilbeau was a target when he was in the game. Jerrin Thompson had a big hit on Price but also had a pass interference. Watts had a much better game than last week, finding the slow outside receivers for Tech more to his liking. 7 tackles, 2 break ups. Unfortunately, also an offsides which bailed Tech out. Not often you see that from a cornerback.

It’s hard to evaluate the secondary without considering the game plan they were tasked with. No forced interceptions is a hard pill to swallow when a turnover prone QB throws 56 balls with about 80% of those routes happening in tight groupings at similar depths.

Final

A defense must save its own life. A coordinator can’t allow an offense to run 100 plays. A low yards per play yield or “making them work for it” is irrelevant if the defense can’t turn the offense over or get them off of the field on 3rd and 4th down. The defense just dies slowly, wears out mentally and physically, and robs the entire Longhorn team of energy. You have to change the dynamic. Both in preparation the week before the game and in making adjustments in-game to take away what the offense does best on key downs.

Do we know what the injury to Worthy is?  Without him to stretch the field vertically, even getting Ewers back won’t help that much. 

Ewers will be lucky to have enough time to hit anyone deep.  With the way the line is playing, we’ll be seeing Card much more this season

Here is my thought of the game, save your 9.95. Tech realized Card can not beat them deep and Texas can’t force the run. They went 1 high and got up on WRs (No Worthy helped). PK faced the the exact same thing and mostly sat back in 2 high. He basically let Card beat him throwing underneath. 

Bingo. Not that I'm pining for the Pre-PK days.... but sure seemed like we could have used a "star" or whatever player is a hybrid LB/S like BJ Foster was. Somebody we can bring down to the middle of the field to help stop slants and TEs over the middle. 2 high and soft corner coverage was just giving slants and 9-yard stops to that QB over and over again. Wtf.

(Scipio Tex) 2022 Texas Tech Post Mortem: Defense/Special Teams

 

At this point we should just play super aggressive. I don’t care if we get beat over the top on 50/50 deep balls. Last year that’s all tech did against us and we won by 35. It’s ridiculous that on 3 and 5 I have no faith in us stopping a quick slant or a comeback to the sticks. But hey, like scipio said, at the least we didn’t get beat over the top in overtime when all tech needed was a FG.

PhoneWallets big KEYS to the game:

(1) we continued to play soft coverage and it enabled a ton of first downs by tech. We were giving first downs away like candy on Halloween.

(2) card is like a sleight of hand trick. You watch some individual play and think he’s ok or it’s the pass protection’s fault, but reality is he struggles to put drives together. Every first down he gets feels like a miracle.

(3) we saw the return of the chicken and egg problem we had last year that caused us to lose so many second half leads. Is it the offense going 3 & out at the worst possible times, or the defense giving up easy scores? I don’t know, I think they are interrelated in some sort of way. But it causes a hard built lead to disappear quickly.


Long story short: fuck losing to tech, that was a game we should have won. Can’t wait to get ewers back and I hope he’s the difference we really need bc card isn’t going to get us wins.
