Was that an ineligible man down field on Helm?

I just assumed he was accidentally covered by a WR

ToP is 2:1.

if we just run the ball over and over and only mix in a throw every 4th/5th play, their lack of depth and energy on defense will show 

This

 

Plus Q got that int out of his system

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Kansas is pretty good.

We have 340 yards of offense. He acknowledged that we haven’t finished, but yes technically we are moving the ball great.

Great.   We’re Texas Tech.  Deadly between the 20’s

I prefer not to run minute off the got  damn clock with 70 yards to go 

Penalties were the big problem with how that drive turned out.

[Tonesky 1059]

Timeouts scare Sark to death.

I’m not a coach and I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, so can someone explain why Sark didn’t use any timeouts 

didn't want to let them set their defense, didn't work

Soooooo, about that penalty. TE is ineligible down field? 

I assume Helm lined up wrong so that he was ineligible.

I see you've found a sense of positivity. I approve

Game threads are for outlandish reactions. Like ewers just threw the first interception of his career

Ref said he was covered.

Meaning what, exactly, as far as rules go?

I’m not saying it’s good. Just commenting on Sarks response, which was correct.

[NeverMarryAStripper 22301]

If I just read this thread and wasn't also watching the game, I would think we were getting blown out by double digits.

[Modessit 5667]

Soooooo, about that penalty. TE is ineligible down field? 

He was probably covered up by a WR who wasn't lined up properly.

We’re very lucky they only have 7 right now.

I'd say that they are fairly lucky we only have 13.

[RockyMountainHighHorn 928]

Got damn this can’t happen. Counting on this 3rd quarter. 

[Skipper 6411]

Let's just win the damn game and hope Quinn learned a lesson there.   When they showed that all 22 angle it was beyond obvious he should have thrown it away or checked it down and called a quick TO.   Got way too greedy/cocky.

Effectively. Or we’re winning by 42 given extreme offensive output

can't be on the line of scrimmage, inside of the most outside receiver

[MotownHorn 1904]

1) what a stupid half

2) we should win by 20+ 

3) that said I hate letting them hang around

Every time they don’t make a play, we’re lucky. Every time we don’t make a play, we suck.

And lucky to have 7 instead of 3

[LonghornSean 4103]

You get a first down across the 50 with what, 30 seconds or so left, and you don’t call timeout? Terrible clock management.  At that point it would be hard to find a way to use all three, so just call it.

[lilMAC25 4001]

Both are true.

 

IMHO your take is more true. Our RZ struggles are maddening. Hope JS0 is ok.

[HOOK'EMHOOAH 1610]

The problem should be fixed. My feed kept stalling, so I switched to one with a more secure connection.

We're not but ther should be at least two more touchdowns on the scoreboard.

[Hondo 749]

This is the kind of game where we fuck around, Kansas manages to hang in there, and we have a 1-score 4th qtr where we're all shitting bricks.

342 yards of offense in the first half and 13 ... THIRTEEN ... points to show for it.  Unreal.

[UTEE97 3936]

Riley + PK would be a deadly coaching duo and win multiple NCs. Sark gets too cute sometimes. Hard to believe it's Sark's offense that's holding us back from reaching our full potential.

[D_Goose 498]

Agreed. Should probably be about about 28-24 at half.

Good thing we always come out and blow the doors off every 3rd quarter.

[Funk Doctor Spock 13287]

3 minutes ago, TexArcher said:

Yeah, but your comment was about us not moving the ball.  We're moving the ball extremely well.  We just didn't finish drives.  That is a much more fixable problem than not being able to move the ball at all.  Remember when we weren't finishing drives against Bama and Wyoming, and then we scored a bunch of touchdowns?

We're leading a ranked team at home.  Their defense is being worn down by being on the field 2/3 of the game.  We're getting the ball again.  It's not exactly Chicken Little time, god damn.

I'm chill. I got it all out of me. We've shown we can be a second half team this year, so the world isn't ending. I'm glad he admitted that we're moving the ball but not adding points to the board. Maybe the first half was to see what they were about, and the second half is where he puts his foot in their ass

If you think we're like Tech, then you haven't flipped over to any part of their game today.  It's like recess.

Bean missed connecting on at least a few big passes when he had receivers open and also had a couple first down passes dropped. We’re very lucky they only have 7 right now. Here’s hoping we turn it on in the second half again.

Defense had something to do with that chief.

 

 

[Nicole44 22315]

We got this! Second half performance and all that. But yeah, I don’t care how anyone reacts on a game thread. Let yourselves go.
 

Would love to be at the game but my aunt passed away Thursday night. My uncle, her husband, died unexpectedly in May of this year. Two funerals and four fucking months and I got my Horns up!

 

Let’s fucking go! I will say this game looks very different if their starting QB could play today. Nonetheless this team is like a slow moving Longhorn…we just pick up steam as we lumber along. Tired of the overall sloppiness when we start games. Need to nip that in the bud. Time to hit the gas! Hook’em! 
 

wish I could be at surly tailgate today! But I went for the Wyoming game…picture below. Bet the tailgate today was epic! 
 

we got this shit! Let’s fucking GO! 

[Coelenterate Fuccboi 13435]

Just showing the replay of that fumble, turned to touchdown, Finkley’s reaction time to the ball coming out was… slow as fuck.

I can appreciate that, but letting our guys get set up and make sure everyone is on the same page seemed like the right move to me. Also stress to Quinn about protecting the ball. A TO could have possibly helped us out there.
