Does Dinesh Patel have any family in Austin?

Last year's game in Fort Worth was a 10 point game late in the fourth quarter despite Shane playing QB and running for his life all night because of the shit show that was Terell Cuney and the Warehime boys.  Our OL is better than last year.  They had an experienced  QB in Kenny Hill and their RB's were about the same as we will face tomorrow night.   Their QB is not as experienced or accurate as Hill.  This game is very winnable.  They are not the '85 Bears, but if you think so, crown their ass.  I will wait for the final whistle tomorrow.

Watching the Ohio State /TCU game right now. Man I think we are fucked. Going into the 4th quarter and this game is a lot closer than the final score. TCU looks fast and the offense has its shit together. Dont understand why it seems Texas just cant hire a successful offensive coordinator. . Praying for home field to make up for a lot.  

[RowdyVic 106]

You know what else is gonna drop dramatically at game time?  Our balls on their faces.

On the other hand, it's at our house, we're riding a high off of a good win, they're hopefully limping off a deflating loss, and I'm sure our players and coaches are as sick of hearing about 1-5 as we are.  It's college football.  Crazy shit happens.  I'm hoping it does tomorrow. 

We're 2-5 against Patterson.  don't sell us short.

Ideally, you don't out-scheme TCU's defense. You out-play them. Bring in 2 TE, keep your blocking sound, and turn the game into a walrus battle. Sometimes, football is just a simple matter of seeing who's tougher. Take your yards, wait for the safeties to spin down, and see what happens when Colin or LJH go one on one.

TCU is a well put together football team. There's no, "Simple. Just do this!" game plan. We're just going to have to whip it out and see who's is biggest.

This is exactly right. Maybe you can out-tough them, maybe you can't. But you're not going to out-scheme them, so don't try any fancy crap. Line up and beat your man. Then, do it again.

On the hands-to-the-face penalty against Cosmi last weekend, he had to have 10 stiches after the game behind his ear because his ear was flopping around like a dog

Agree this has all the makings of a blowout loss. If TCU makes our offense one dimensional they force a bunch of 3 and outs and mental mistakes from Ehlinger. Defense tires out and the game gets out of hand.

We will need TCU to make a bunch of mistakes and exploit the way we did with USCs terrible special teams. 

 

First of all, he didn't say anything about a blowout loss.  Underscoring your post is the assumption that TCU is better than they were last year and we are worse.  Where does that come from?  I admit that a Herculean effort will be required by the Horns to win, but we are at home and I believe better than last year.  You make Satyanash sound like Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.

I agree with this assessment and that of goldapple.  we can out tough them, but we cant out scheme them.  this is going to be a physical game.  one reason we've been outscored an avg of 25 pts the last 4 tcu games is that we have been out toughed.  we have not been physical.  flatfooted, deer in headlights more like it.  we have more physical running backs this year, a more physical ol, wr's block more physically, shed blocks more physically, defense is stout and very physical. 

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Calvin Anderson is a big upgrade over Tristan Nickelson.  Terell Cuney won't be at center.  Last year we had Daniel Young and Porter.  This year we have Watson, Ingram and Young.  Armanti Foreman and Lorenzo Joe won't be stealing snaps from Lil Jordan, Duvernay and Johnson.  Sam is more mobile than Shane.  At safety, Caden Sterns is a big upgrade over John Bonney.  We have a puncher's chance at home.

We are not playing Maryland tomorrow.  Maryland is history.  We are playing TCU.  Teams often get better during a 12 game season.  

[thrillhammer 683]

there is no doubt we are better than last year, and no doubt tcu is worse.  those two facts alone give us a chance.

We’re pretty much in the same place. And I am not advocating kool-aid by any means. Just saying that confidence matters. And we have some playmakers now that are (seemingly) beginning to show signs of emergence. We may very well get trucked just the same. But as far as  going into this game goes, I think we enter it on a plus confidence at we haven’t had for a while.

[CallusPhallus 5]

I like our chances. O line is playing marginally better, Ingram will hopefully be in there to switch up our horrible run game, liking the play of the receivers so far.  D line has been super disappointing, hopefully, something gives in this game.

Indoor game on turf and TCU would have their way with UT easy. But it should be raining all day tomorrow right? That’ll wipe out TCU’s speed advantage & passing game big time. Texas has a shot if it’s a ground & pound game.

With all due respect, it’s not. Lack of confidence can scuttle talent like kryptonite. I played organized sports into my 20’s, coached for 10 years and have seen first hand what confidence can do to an underachieving talent base when provided with a taste (and what a lack thereof can do as well).  Am I saying that’s all you need to be successful? No, obviously you need talent as well. Confidence allows the opportunity to exploit talent, which, upon success, becomes labeled as chemistry, and ultimately a winning culture.

Summers, Cooper, Bethley, Bangogu, Wallow, Evans: Avg 250 lbs. 275 lbs is a normal 4-2 front.

Nelson, Omenihu, Hager, Wheeler, Johnson, Roach: Avg 265 lbs.  265 lbs is a normal 3-3 front.

Frogs are Banogu (240), Broadnax (308), Bethley (302), and Collier (279) across the line.  Summers (235) is the mike linebacker.  Wallow (218) is the Sam.  Summers plays a little end against smaller teams, but the depth chart listing is just Patterson games.  Collier and Broadnax started the year with 2-game suspension for violation of team rules so he listed them as backups.

its the only reason I hold out hope for Herman.  USC was nice but I'm still not sold on him after a complete faceplant against a shitty Maryland team.   

we folded ALL the time with Charlie.

Herman has to keep Orlando though and I just want Orlando to work on having our defense jump a good team from the gun.

win 2 of the next 3 and I can see gettin back on the train.

Dang tunnel screen to short side of field and rolling an Olineman out to block corner is a sweet play that Pirate is running tonite against USC.

Would like to see Horns use a play like that.....
