Catalon is honestly absolutely incredible with his instincts and coming in like a torpedo in run support. It’s just been hit or miss on him finishing the tackle on occasion.

Hits with a wrap up mo betta than hits alone.

What a total asskicking.

That game was not as close as the score suggests.

No it was not. Could have easily been 50-0.

We wrecked them.

Which one is which?

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

Based purely on resume, we should be ranked #1. 

We beat the #24 team by 26 points. We beat the #12 team by 10 points. We beat Wyoming, who is about to be 4-1, by 21 points. Wyoming could very well be ranked next week. 

We have 2 maybe 3 double-digit wins against ranked teams.

Fuck LSU.

Uhh... Clock management 

[USNALonghorn 5024]

Fluke fumble TD made it closer. Should’ve been 47-7 if Auburn gets his shit together, too. We are a very deep team.

Any word on JT?

No but being on the sideline in street clothes is concerning. On the other hand no boot, crutches or noticeable limp is good. I choose to believe Sark sat him for obvious reasons.

Total yards 661 vs 260. +400 for Texas will work.

And everyone on the SEC Facebook pages claimed we struggled.   For awhile yes, but it was never in doubt. 

[MillerEP 30338]

Kansas only had 8 yards total in the second half?

Yeah, smarter to just sit him. Take no chances.

I also hope he stays, but if we keep Gibson and Clark, I'm not sure if he will, unfortunately. But he's stuck it out so far, but again, he already has Brooks and a frosh Baxter ahead of him. Maybe if Brooks leaves for the NFL (it would take like a 1600-1800 yards this season for it to happen), but other than that he'll still be behind. I'm personally not sold on Gibson, but I can see Clark move past him

Then what the hell did Georgia just do?

[GreenspointTexas 9556]

We held them to a combined 0-10 on 3rd and 4th downs

 

when was the last time we did that to a ranked team? Goddamn

No way that is accurate. If so, Holy shit! Kansas was #1 in the nation on 3rd down conversions (I think) amd went for ofer

Accurate or not, their badass QB was out for the game, so ...

I thought Bean was decent though. He just had to contend with a great D that adjusted.

[TOR 5361]

It really looks like Sark spends the 1st half of these games almost like practices to see what is working, what is a dud, how the team handles different situations.  Those throws behind the LOS seem to be a Texas tradition, unfortunately.  We ran a 2 minute drill at the end of the half with 3 timeouts in our pocket; why?  It is absolutely maddening.

Sideshow Bert is a huge liability, really hope his inconsistency doesn't end up costing when it really, really matters.

Box score says 77 in the 3Q and 44 in the 4th 

8 rushing yards in the 2nd half is what he meant

Agreed

But I want this team to feel doubted so they lay the pipe to every team, and save the murder spree for tech on our way to the CFP and NC

[UTEE97 3427]

We should be #1 next week based on our resume, but it won't happen. There is a chance we move up to #2.

I didn't even notice the "previous two games" stats but nice catch on that!

324 yards over the last two games, don't pay attention to what ESPN said.

Ummm, Blue > Baxter

Wonder if Baxter is either still hurt or apprehensive about reaggrivating the injury. I’ve also been pleasantly with how hard Blue runs when he’s been given the ball this year.

Texas’s season so far has been a tale of two teams and this reflected both sides of that. On the plus side, Texas playing sharp can beat anyone. Downside, they can beat themselves too.

I will say this is another one I think Texas probably finds a way to lose, or at least take to the wire, in 2021-22. Team has legit flaws but you have to acknowledge the growth in resilience.

Enough about this game though. This season won’t be remembered for the Kansas game.

Let Hate Week begin.

[Sgt Hulk 13637]

Certainly don’t want to lose blue have the depth helps especially depth with guys that would be RB 1 on many teams 

[Modessit 5595]

That’s what B Rob said on LHN, that’s why I asked

They had a 50+ TD reception and several passes to the TE, so unless they had a lot of negative plays to counter it....

[coachherman'sgrill 1976]

8 rushing yards. Which is legit 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

The other thing with Baxter is one of his strengths coming out of HS was pass catching ability. You saw that today. 

We've rarely utilized that yet but you can bet it's in Sark's bag when he needs it. 

[Lonestar88 4585]

Yardage wise, we were dominating Kansas from the jump. Some silly mistakes and a fluke play kept it close longer than it should have.

Correction, we beat the #3 team by 10 points. You don't do that thing where you adjust the rankings as the team goes unless they like bottom out, because the only reason Bama is #12 instead of #3 or #4 is because we beat them. Otherwise they're undefeated and still highly ranked.

I’m fine where we are. We will have a legit argument to jump both if we beat OU. We should pick up some more 1st place votes though. 

[Rickylovesweed 14154]

PK is probably ready to face a QB he's prepared for. 

The triple option was giving Texas issues in the 1st half but they also weren't expecting Bean to be the starter. Daniels likes to scramble but I'm sure that was something they were going to utilize nearly as much.

We would whip their ass and they would complain about not being fired up to play Texas instead of Bama or some shit.
