It’s fantastic to wake up knowing we won the first playoff game ever at DKR and are headed to a reasonable next round matchup. This is fun. 

It's a real good start, Dbeasy

Given the game stats, you would expect Texas to win 98% of the time.  Texas would be expected to win by 16 points given the stats. 

I guess they do not consider the actual score ;). 100% of the time, the team with 38 points beats the team with 24 points.

The third quarter stuff is almost comical at this point. Like we deliberately plan for it to happen. 

Sark just making sure the score went over and he hits his parlay

For all the narrative about Texas's offensive struggles and would Texas be able to move the ball and score points, the Longhorns gained more yards than any of the other 7 teams in the first round.

I'm shocked that you're right. I just assumed Ohio State had 800 yards of offense after watching the game.

Is Helm back next year? God I hope so because Juan Davis is a vortex of suck. Niblack must really suck to not play over him.

Highly unlikely - He could be the first TE off the board and I doubt he’d pass that opportunity up, but maybe we’ll get lucky.

Don't bring positivity to our weekly post-win whine and cry session

What am I looking at here?

A coverage visual.  Gray is the average team.  So we are in Cover 3 way more the average, and Cover 1/0 way less than average.

The reason I was scared tbh lol. You just seemed happy and stress free and I didn’t want to be a surly weirdo lol. So instead I’m here telling you about this to be even weirder 

I would have leaned into him and whispered in his ear

"hello Jesus, you are the reason for the season"

No SkyCam feed and I don't have access to the All-22 so a rewatch isn't going to be likely, but the day after I feel ok about yesterday. It is really annoying how we always have to make things more dramatic than they need to be. The pass defense had a bad day yesterday. Clemson clearly saw something on film with our Linebackers they wanted to exploit, but at the same time a large chunk of their success passing was Klubnik dropping dimes on low-percentage routes. Kudos to him. He was great. But if teams are going to rely on that to really have success against us Ohio State is the only team I'm worried about in that regard.

As for the offense, it was a good day. Sark has a fatal flaw in that he will overthink things and it was almost costly (don't mind going for it on the 4th down but just run behind Banks don't run a toss and I said it in my Georgia recap that the gimmicky, full spin, screen play shit needs to go) but other than that he kept it largely simple, knew Clemson couldn't stop the run game and leaned on it even when guys got hurt. 

I ain't worried about skatty boo boo and the Sun Devils. We're gonna wreck their lives up front on both sides of the ball.

Was really impressed with the offense, especially the run game. Also Quinn had a few bad throws, but was decent overall. The INT wasn't his fault. Moore tried to catch it at a weird angle. 

It looked like Moore stumbled right before/as the ball got there that caused him to not catch it.

It's only weird if you don't greet him with Muledick

Is it just me or where a lot of those Clemson drag plays across the middle of the field borderline, offensive pass interference,?

Their first TD was blatant Offensive PI as it looked like our DB got completely wiped out

To me it was one of the best games I have attended in many years. I think the second half was the loudest I have ever experienced. We had a few Clemson fans in our area that got overwhelming for a few minutes, then our Defense shut them down and Blue broke their will, and they headed to the exits. It was a great night's be a Longhorn .

Hook'em!

I was shocked how early their fans left. A big group left at halftime

You cannot let a perfectly thrown ball in stride turn into an interception. The drops from Moore have to stop.

If you are 6 years old then this really isn’t that big of a deal, other than the fact you married way way too young.

SIAP. Who was the stare down at?  FCB?

Glad he acknowledged the O-line, because that's largely true.  If they weren't doing their part, we wouldn't be able to afford to have a TE out in passing routes.

Big Bill Norton! The transfer from Arizona

During the goal line stand against aggie, we all remember Ethan Burke's play on 4th down, but it was Norton who pushed his man back into the ball carrier on 3rd down and shut down that play.

Other takeaways:

Thought someone said that Blue's run broke a record for UT? Was it Longest in UT History, or simply longest at DKR? What's that? 100 yrs? In any case, no one here will probably live to see it broken. Pretty memorable.

Forgot who made the long ball catch on an underthrown pass, but there was no way he shoulda caught it. Outstanding catch at critical point. Probably catch of the game.

Just guessing, but you'd think that the size of our Offensive line outmatches every team in the nation, except perhaps the top five. This is football. When you've got a size advantage, use it.. Suspect we were bigger than AND faster than Clemson.

Gibson sort of looking like a secret weapon. As well as he ran, seems the plays called for him never gave him a chance to build up a good head of steam. Would like to see that happen. Also, given unknowns about Wisener, it's possible we may be seeing more from him. Hope Sark gives the kid a little more to work with. Could be something special.

Someone needs to do another run it at the middle goal line mean with the Impractical Jokers like they did for the Aggies, that was one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen and we were able to do that with Clemson. And of course celebratory drinks were my version of a dreamsicle pure cane sugar Orange soda, four shots of whipped vodka, and two shots of half and half. It's fucking delicious

There have been multiple references to Muhammad getting torched several times. I may be completely wrong, but I thought two of the several were situations where he picked up receivers that weren’t covered by someone who busted an assignment.
