Rewatching the game now.  -I know it infuriates @BurntOrange&White but Michael Taaffe is going to play in the NFL. -We probably lost about 50 rushing yards due to stupid holding penaltie

That hold on Helm was bogus.

Say what you will about yesterday's win. But that was the fourth road win in a row against ranked teams. Hook "em baby.

Yeah I don't know what Sark's deal is. He seemed like he had all systems go and then all the sudden it seems to be getting away from him and he seems out of touch.

We lost a tough game and then nearly pissed one away. I hope that at the end of the season we look back and think this was the wake up call we needed that set us up for success later.

I'm not sure we wouldn't have been in a dogfight against OU if they hadn't fumbled 3 times inside their own 50 in the 2nd qtr.  Would have been 7-3 at half (hypothetically) w/o those fumbles.  If the defense was average to below average, these threads would be entirely different.

I love a good story, but not at the expense of my Horns.  Pavia's prancing around after the 1st TD + the nonstop dicksucking by the announcers was pretty off putting.  Glad our D came to play.

 

It was obvious the SEC wanted a narrative with this game.   They almost had it.    The SEC  Network announcers slobbering all over Vandy.   The disparity in the penalties and timing is what makes me put on the tin foil hat too.   That’s not to say with Ewers two turnovers on their side of the field we did our best to helo.

I don't think any of the calls were wrong, but there sure were a lot of calls against Texas on key plays.

The call on Gunner was BS. He beat his man plain and simple and put him on the ground. No holding. There was a lot of uncalled holding by Vandy, which is why our pass rush didn't get home more. Whether they just missed them or not, I don't know. Not going to say it was intentional, but the holding calls in this game wasn't balanced IMO.

Roberson is a liability on kick returns. He has legitimately been called for holding three times in the last two games.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but there is zero doubt in my mind that the officiating crew absolutely was going to make sure the penalties were going to be called heavily in favor of Vanderbilt. 

They wanted to make sure it didn’t look like Texas was getting advantageous calls after last week. Turning over that call last week was historic. It was the right decision but still unprecedented.

The offensive line plays undisciplined and has been unable to pick up the blitz effectively. There was constant pressure on the pocket which forces a lot of those short throws. Anyone putting all the offenses woes on Quinn doesn’t understand offensive football. He took what the defense gave, which is exactly what he is supposed to do. Until this o line can protect and get enough push that we can consistently run in run downs, this team will struggle.

People are correct that Ewers has not looked great the last few weeks. But I'm not sure why he's being singled out. The entire offense has looked like shit with the possible exception of Wisner, Helm, and the small amount of Blue this week. QB, OL, WR, coaching. It's all been ass. 

 

because the QB is the single most important person on the team?

Ok.  Call holding.  I get it.  Can be called on almost every play.  That being said, the more talented team should not get 5 (or more) holds called than the less talented team.  I don't care what the situation is.

Glad we were able to change out the cocksucker refs of the Big 12 for the shit-eating cocksucker refs of the SEC.

The story for this game should have been that a pissed off Texas team took the field and the offense physically beat the shit out of an undersized D Line using fast and hard-running RBs. Quick pitches, sweeps, quick hitters. Beat their Cornerbacks to a pulp while you're at it. Dominate them on the ground, then throw three or four long TD passes. That offense wasn't angry - or at least Sark didn't give them a chance to show it. Personally, I think Sark wasn't angry enough and it showed. 

A good coach recognizes a mismatch and pushes it down the throat of his opponent until the opponent adjusts, then you go in for the kill. I know one thing, if we'd been cramming the ball down their throats, they wouldn't have been all over Quinn in the backfield. Sark is still on a learning curve. If only he read Surly.

I think people are pissed that we look like Tech lately with the semi successful screens seemingly every play vs the Sark signature deep crosses chunk plays.  Having the announcers call our once vaunted QB Check down Charlie add fuel to the fire.  Fuck it. Wins a win. Nobody knows how good Vandy will be.  Mizz was shut out by the team that lost to Vandy.

I will pray to sweet 8lb baby Jesus that we clean up penalties.  That will be enough to let the talent shine

Fucking weird game. Just did everything we could to minimize our own success.  Between penalties, sacks and tip drill interceptions at the most inopportune times we made it way harder than it had to be.  Frustrating.  

Should have punched it in from the 5 and gotten that pick 6 with no penalties to win 38-24
