We're lucky enough to get out with that win! Jeepers! And Griffin finally shut up about the NON targeting.   I'm yelling at the TV "it was his fucking shoulder asshole"

Griffin came out way too strong at first about being targeting.  Not cool.

Fucking Ewers was trash most of the day. If he actually plays halfway decently this is a 20 pt win

That’s a spin. ISU entered the game as one of the worst offenses in college football

[Funk Doctor Spock 12203]

God damn I'm putting on the Bama/Vols game in the car and when we get back to the hotel. We ain't leaving until the game is either out of hand, or it's over. 

[gmr548 16580]

Christ this OL got worked down to the last play. I’m happy to see RoJo ice the game. He deserved that even if he shouldn’t have had to work nearly that hard.

Texas got very, very lucky today; you’ll always take the W though. I expected an off game from Ewers to cost this team a game or two and they just stole one of those.


Have at it calling me a pussy, but we’d seen that movie before and we all know what was going to go down if Texas doesn’t get incredibly lucky. I’d call the record representative at this point. Should have won in Lubbock but the staff failed the players. Should have lost here but ISU was just that much worse. Call it even and move on.

Cambell is going to be so nuts in the post presser...hope it doesn't' become a huge story.  The Call was correct.  Both the fumble and the Non Call.

Now Drew, who was in a better position to make that call than the coach On the other side of field with a view obstructed by players. Why shouldn't the big 12 allow coaches to cross the field to the other sideline in order to lobby for a call ?

As long as Texas doesn't do it. Then, it is not cool.

They’re learning how to win. That’s a game we lose in year’s past. That was a massive learning experience for this team.

This. Learn how to win.

[Post Oak 20213]

I'm happy to win.  Coming off a huge win in Dallas everyone was sucking their dicks for a week. Going up against a MFer calling D. 

Take it be happy and move on.  I'm not going to spend one second complaining about a win considering the last 13 years.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Finally a win when we do so many things wrong and leave points all over the fucking field.

Ewers played poorly and was still 17/26 with 3 TDs

Cain had a shit day...

Recievers did OK, but once again no PI calls on several obvious calls

Interior OL struggled with consistency

The DL was inconsistent and struggled to get pressure, but shockingly no holding calls against ISU

LBs were OK but struggled when the QB ran

DB were garbage, but they did go against most likely the best WR they will see on the rest of the schedule.

 

The biggest difference is that for some reason this game Campbell changed how he called the game for his QB and went more simple and let him do more gun-slinging...

 

Still, we should have won by 17+, but ill take it

I really don’t know what targeting is - and neither does anyone else.

One game it’s helmet to helmet contact.

One game it’s any contact when leading with helmet.

Some games it’s crown of helmet.

Others it’s launching with helmet contact.

and sometimes it’s hitting a defenseless player.

 

That play was not helmet to helmet - it was helmet to shoulder - but it was leading with the helmet.

It's almost as if the runner gets hit too hard and is shaken up it's considered targeting. Cook got him with the shoulder, it was clear on the side replay.

Fucking Cook gave himself a tiny bit of redemption after his idiotic fuck up with the mishap on the blocked punt

I’ll call it even. Fuck up that cost us a TD. Enormous hit that MAY have prevented a TD/FG, but pretty much secured the win.

The fumble looked simultaneous to his knee touching.  The graphic said "down by contact" so they must have overturned that, which is somewhat surprising.

There was no targeting.  I won't entertain any discussion of that.

**********************

If you want to talk about ISU getting screwed by the refs, take a look at the quick whistle in Ames when Mack was coaching.

But let's face it, the OSU visit to Austin in 2015 was probably the most crooked example of officiating ever.  Things have gotten better since Pickens died.

What were you saying again?

The graphic was wrong. They called a fumble.

You should have just stopped there.  It was a shoulder to shoulder hit.  Just leading with the head doesn't mean shit.  It has to be leading with forcible contact to the head or neck.

I’ll stand by by statement that it changes game-to-game and crew-to-crew.

I never said it was or wasn’t targeting, just that it was helmet to shoulder.

[gmr548 16580]

I don’t know about that. It was the exact same shit, ISU just decided to call a QB run with their non running QB and paid for it by half an inch. I’ll take it, but let’s not get carried away.

[Foosters 17856]

So it's a game we got lucky in because their receiver dropped the long ball, but they didn't get lucky on the 2 deep misses to Cain?

[Darth Tron 1123]

We survived a freshman game from our savior.  Too close for comfort, but it was good to see that Sark saw Quinn didn’t have it today and lean on his upperclassmen RBs.  Now if PK will stop calling that soft zone shit on 3rd down we might be cookin.

[Captain Ron 12876]

Ugly as hell, got the win. 

Now clean up this shit because we made way too many mistakes.

We bitch about the D but they got two turnovers, and that second one was a thing of beauty. That really was textbook putting a shoulder on the ball.

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2652]

I’m flabbergasted the refs didn’t fuck us for once  

[Coach pop a bitch 5459]

Big win. Team played like shit. Teams need to learn how to win games like this especially with the remaining schedule. The td drive was huge, ran it down their throats.. 4th down td execution. 3rd down turnover, and running the clock out. A lot for this team to work on but I think games like this can teach a lot.

so, for Sark at Texas,

 

this is literally the first time a Sark-led Texas has won where we were behind (at any point) in the 4th quarter.

Glad to have the win, but pissed off at the shitty level of play. 
 

 

The OL is just not that good yet, particularly at run blocking and particularly on the interior. Ewers was in a funk and the secondary has been weak sauce against everyone not OU. OU has the worst run D and obviously had no QB, so the D wasn't particularly taxed in the secondary. Although there were some inspired plays by our DBs in the RRS. So I knew we'd struggle today, but Ewers really stunk up the field for most of the first half. If he was on point today, we would have sustained drives, scored and the D would have rested.

The one thing I credit the team with is, they didn't quit. As bad as the D plays, they come up with a stop or turnover every once in a while because they are playing with more consistent effort this season.

[SuckitKevin 920]

It was not targeting because he was a runner and it was to his shoulder. It was a fumble. RGIII is a moron. Our intermediate coverage and 3rd down defense has to improve or we’re not a top 20 team. Our mental mistakes were completely stupid today. We won. Where’s the Tylenol? I’m fucking drained.

[936horn 910]

Look at these bitch ass tech and osu posters coming in here trying to say the refs did us a solid lmao. 
 

The refs fucked us with no lube all game - including two clear PI no calls in the end zone - and it was shoulder to shoulder contact anyway.

This is the typical post that misses all context. ISU is a putrid offense and an excellent defense. ISU hasn’t scored more than 14 pts vs P5.

Is that the first call we’ve gotten all season?

It’s amazing how fucking bad that production is. Mike Davis said basically everything incorrectly, biggest play of the game you have one announcer chirping targeting incorrectly while the screen shows the incorrect call on the field 

Freshman level production for a major sporting event on a major network that they paid a ton of money to air 

[Dnaguy 11964]

Now that the game is over, I just realized how drunk I was when I tried to stand up and fell over.

This sucks and hope he's ready to go for Okie Lite, cause we're gonna need him big time. Ewers seems to show up for big games 

 

This is the best win second only to fucking up ousux

[FWD 297]

Young QB and he had a bad day. We knew there would be up and down days with him. Hopefully this is just one of the worst ones and the team backed into a W despite that.

We out possessed and had more first downs than them. He had plenty of time to find a rhythm 

[Braff Zacklin 13573]

Don't want to be a bummer after a big win, but that defense needs to find a way to get teams off the field.

Taking away the OU game (which was the result of the Sooners not having their starting QB available), the Texas defense's combined performance on third and fourth  downs absolutely sucks.

ISU: 10 of 15 

OU: 5 of 15

WVU: 12 of 18

Tech: 13 of 20

UTSA: 9 of 16

Bama: 6 of 15

ULM: 6 of 16

 

Total: 61 of 115, or 53 percent. That is AWFUL.
