That Patriots field goal block play seems more like a one time thing vs a good play design. Hasn’t come close to working again now that everyone’s trying it. 

That move is completely dependent on a perfectly timed guess by the rusher.

This is a 2nd half team

I like this energy. 

OU is making me nervous, though. They look good.

Need to tackle better, especially when rushing 3 and playing to allow completions and rally to the ball. 

Yeah. Huge mistakes. 

[ATXbronco 4381]

I've watched a LOT of this happening this year.
Not sure if I'm just noticing it more?
Or if it's an actual issue this year.

Our defender gets a running start and commits too early, missing the FLYING high-speed tackle opportunity

I still think we're good.  We had over 150 yards in the 2nd quarter.  We turned the ball over twice and we dropped a pick that gave them 3 points.  And, we're down 3 points.

We've been a second half team all year.  Let's go win it 21-7 and get the hell out of there.

Defense is ass. Only reason we didn't give up 7 is because of a dropped pass. Terrible. No resistance on that drive. And we have no pass rush at all 

Actually until the last two drives the D was solid. Need to figure it out.

Need to tackle much better

Same - early good, last two drives gassed.

Literally zero pressure on this midget 

Their speed to the snap is proving extremely difficult.

Offense played horrible 1st quarter.  Defense not good 2nd quarter. 

Yep.

[Hermanator 7570]

Disasterous first half. 2 interceptions, 1 gives them an easy TD and 1 takes away a TD from us. 6 penalties including gifting a first down on a punt. Starting center out of the game. All sorts of stupid mistakes like trying to return kicks only getting to the 15. 

And it's a 3 point game. Just clean it up and we win this game. They threw their best punch.

How many carries does Brooks have again? 

Not enough. Ewers needs all the help he can get.

One of my huge pet peeves. Swarming to the ball and lowering the boom is not enough. And that shit is on coaching. Demand it from the players.

We have been tackling well all year.

Not sure what happened at the end of the half but this isn't a systemic issue. I hope whatever they were doing wrong there gets corrected.

[UTEE97 3890]

We have to force a punt on the first drive. Defense better comes ready.

Pound that ass in the 2nd half

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[Modessit 5665]

On that long Gabriel run, one of our big DTs (Sweat?) was basically just standing in one spot and turned his back and gave a half-ass effort before just stopping and watching as Gabriel took off. No pursuit.

Momentarily

[WinningIsHard 4171]

It’s 20-17 with one of the worst half’s we’ve played all year. That’s a stark contrast to the last 10 years. This team knows how to keep battling folks.

That’s because he was gassed.

[mrhorn 1429]

Early INT inside the 25
INT at goal line
Running into kicker
Zero QB pressure
Stupid missed tackles
I’m sure I’m missing other shit, but it could be a lot more than 3.

Bottom line, nut the FUCK up. Middle of the field is wide fucking open for the picking.

No doubt OU is exactly where they want to be.  DEF change mo’ once in that first half.  They’ll need to do it again to start the 2nd half.  Offense got better in 2nd quarter, but it seems to be more the play-calling than the effort.  Offense needs to match OU’s intensity

[hookem48 4808]

Ewers 6-6 108 and a TD second quarter, should have benched his ass

[troph 25091]

Pretty sure the second half is going to be a shoot out. Center play may end up being the difference I hope we get that shit rolling second half.  

[HornPhD 1386]

The wife and I are watching at a bar in Oakland (they let us in before the bar opens). Our daughter has a soccer game that starts at noon (pacific). We’ll catch the 2nd half of her game. 

[Sgt Hulk 14331]

They def want it more than we do and you can see it.  There’s no anger level of just pure hate. We can’t seem to get pressure on this midget and it’s opening up our suspect secondary.  We gonna crank the oressure up and take away the long shots. 

[UTEX_ME 4257]

This is Sarks biggest test as Texas coach. 

[Nueces River Rat 5742]

The upside we’ve been a great second half team this year….  Let’s go!  

[Twizzler 189]

Psa.

It's halftime and ou still sucks

[TOR 6107]

This looks like a shitty unprepared Charlie Strong team out there.  Special teams is the only reason this game is still close.  Sark BETTER have a 2nd half team, or this is going to be a long day.

[sith_horn 2486]

How about all the predictions we're gonna fuck their shit up and don't be a pussy talking about how rivalry games often defy the odds? There's something to be said for a coach (I'm looking at you Sark) firing his players up for a game and not just go out, be loose and have fun. The Arkansas debacle wasn't just about players. Sark had no clue how intense and bitter these two rivalries in particular can be.

Make the adjustments, fire these players up and fuck some shit up in the second half.

From someone watching who doesn’t like either team; you’re wrong. Texas looks pissed as hell out there, as does OU. Venables will fuck this up don’t worry.

Speed to the snap is legit here our guys couldn’t read and we’re back pedaling makes it hard to attack makes it hard to tackle well always a split second behind. That’s just something they have to over come. They have to play faster on D.

Brooks as 7 Carrie’s for 50 yards. He needs to eat

Yeah, but OU can load back up on the meth at halftime.

[ClubWhatever 12277]

I've had about enough of the dbs playing 10 yards off.  If you can't play press man you dont deserve to win. This is a precision offense.  Letting them complete east intermediate passes is a loser. 

[Dahobbs 18192]

We need some fire. Let's start it with destruction of OUs o to start the half.

On the slant he shouldn't have thrown it, but damn if Mitch made no effort to fight for the ball. Then the Sanders one should've been a catch and TD.

Some of us said it would be close and Texas would win in the fourth. Big games usually come down to the last 5 mins of the 4th. I expect nothing less here.

Ford having his worst game as a Horn. 
 

Keilan Robinson both giving the sooners 3 points and injuring Catalon

 

Baxter only getting 3ypc. Brooks getting 8. No reason to run much of Baxter the rest of the way.

Yep; just play press man every play and win convincingly
