Every player in the secondary played like ass. Why?

Jones was terrible.  Foster terrible, gave the edge on several big runs, including a TD.  Locke every week.   Boyd avaerage at best, tonight below average.  Sterns not a good game.   But biggest issue was Todd Orlando.  He did not put our defense in a position to be successfull.

That was Brandon Jones' worst game of his career. They might need to drug test him, that shit was fucking weird

Boyd fucked off on some big momentum changing plays, Locke was slow and out of position as usual. EVERYBODY in that unit played poorly.

When 2 of your senior starters are late and are disciplined, kind of speaks to maybe a lack of attention in the entire position group, possibly even some arrogance. Having swag is one thing, but being arrogant is another. At the very least, the leadership of the seniors apparently was not there this week, and it showed. Foster, Sterns, Cook and Boyce were almost never even heard from. Sterns biggest play was the awful angle he took and tripped up Gary Johnson on the last OSU TD. Boyce just got fucking ripped in the 1st quarter. I get it, they are freshmen and they have lots to learn, and sometimes you will have growing pains. This was a game they have not experienced before. Which is why it is so important for the upper classmen  to be there during the week's preparation.

Can’t remember a game where a unit underperformed across the board so much. They seemed completely unfocused & uninspired. How does every member of a unit look that bad simultaneously?

In your entire life you can't remember a single instance of any unit, anywhere, that underperformed more? First football game you've watched?

So frustrating.

Gave up 260 yards and 17 points in the first quarter. 248 yards and 21 points the other 3 quarters. 

There were obviously some breakdowns in the secondary throughout the game but I think everyone knows why we were torched in the 1st quarter.

Texas OL against Wazzu in 2003? What do I win?

 

2009 Big 12 championship, also known as the day where one man (Suh) literally manhandled an entire o-line.

That 4th down play where they scored the TD to go up 17 was so fucking bad. Summed up the shitty night for this secondary. And they played soft coverage and allowed the WRs to get in position and get whatever they wanted. It could have been worse but the Okie QB missed on some of those passes. So many wide open WRs, especially early on. Ridiculous.

That first qtr they literally gave the WR's 10 yards and never blitz.

Boyd hurt this team and had his worst game of his 4 year career.  Suspended the 1st quarter for a huge game as a "senior leader".  The consequence, unprepared freshman have to play on the road in a hostile environment.  Dude comes into the 2nd quarter and get burned for 2 TDs.  Also drops 2 interceptions.  He should be embarrassed of his leadership and play.

 People are hating on boyd and Davis, but that first quarter without them is why we lost. 

And the reason they didn't play in the first quarter might be part of the reason people are hating on them. Although it's certainly not the only reason. Neither of those guys has been a consistently good football player in Austin.

Uh, you do realize that Gundy shutdown his own team, right? It is why he gets criticized so harshly. Had he continued to step on the gas with up tempo he could have iced the game doing the very thing that got them the big lead in the first place. Instead he slows everything down trying to protect the score and burn clock which took away his teams advantage and subsequently allowed Texas time to mount a comeback. There is a reason he never gets any love as a great mind, this is one of many examples.

Boyd is one of the best players on the team, but damn he really had a bad night and it started with not being focused in the week leading up.

He's always the biggest feast or famine player on the team. He has the physical capabilities but mental lapses have always been a part of his game on the field and off in others (i.e tweeting at halftime)

it was the worst game of the season for the db's for sure, but it was also the worst game for the lb's, the dl, the wr's, and the rb's.  we didn't seem to have our heads right the entire game.  not sure if it was the suspensions, the bye week, ehlinger's injury or what, but we were dazed and confused.   herman, beck, and Orlando were also outcoached.  this is the unit i'm most disappointed in.  coaches were clueless.

Still developing? He's a senior still playing undisciplined ball. 


Cmon, a senior in college is not a finished product. Especially regarding the mental aspects of the game. He’s what 20 yrs old??? So yea... he’s still developing.

He plays a tough fucking position out on a gd island. Bad plays happen.

The thing that’s really frustrating is his focus on prep seems to have been an issue. That’s something he can control much more easily. Hopefully this is a learning opportunity for him going forward.

It sucks to lose but the goal is the conference championship. That’s still in play.

That's all the truth that needs to be said.

The D line was way worse against Maryland.

I left out the ol.  they were pretty shitty too, at least in the first half.  getting pushed around like bitches.    still, as bad as all that was and as shitty a game plan that we came in with, and as lackadaisical as every unit played, we still almost won the game.   that's how shitty osu is.
