The rematch with OU will come down to tackling and turnovers

[Goo Punch 4275]

We're gonna be up against it, as OU just has the better team, and it will be very difficult for our guy to be better than them for a second time this year. That said, if we are going to beat them again we will need to win the turinover battle and then simply make tackles. OU is going to score, a lot, but can we make a tackle that keeps a play as a 30 yard gain instead of a 60 yard TD? Can we bring Murray down around the LOS before he gets to the second level of the defense? I believe that we will score on them, and that we will chew up some clocknand give our defense some time to rest, but i don't believe we can match them score for score if we aren't forcing some turnovers and being really sharp as tacklers. That's what I believe the game will come down to. 

OU sucks. Let's beat their ass again. 🤘🏼 

[taybo20 2815]

So basically like the first game. Gotta get turnovers, can’t turn it over, and gotta tackle in space

Turnovers..it’s always turnovers.

[Richter 2230]

We won last time by being the most physical team on the field.  I think we will be this time too. Agree that we need to win the turnover battle as well.

[Coelenterate Fuccboi 13010]

I’m not conceding that OU will score a lot. Time for the defense to play their best game.

They aren’t the better team bitch.

[Best served cold 150]

If Sam's shoulder isn't 100% we're fucked!

[orangecat92 306]

Wrong.  It all comes down to which QB is more effective.  The biggest factor right now is health of the two QBs.  The healthier QB at the end of the game will win. 

Iow, it's all on our Defense to hit Kyler hard, hard, hard, and early, early, and often.  Has he even been hit hard in a game?  

[runthebone 7932]

It's going to come down to the fact that ou sucks.

This. 

[millhouse 2587]

Ou sucks, we have nothing to lose, we WILL tackle, sam would play with no right arm and Gary has 2 mouths to feed. These pieces of shit have no clue what is coming

 

[Richter 2230]

The only questions I have are:

1.  Will Ou bring their own tissues to cry into?

2.  Who’s their third choice after Ruffin McNeal?

[Strat 149]

It will come down to us playing Savage. Similar to the first 3 quarters of the last game.  I like our chances. 

[HtownHorn 14487]

Nah, it's going to come down to whether Brandon Jones is healthy and can play. Our secondary is average without him.

[TheFlagship 432]

They have the best overall player but we have the better team. We’ve won games with defense several times this season and I think we will do it one more time next Saturday.

[Mikey4 2476]

We're doomed either way. Dooooomed.

Did you watch the OSU game?  Don't get me wrong I would love to have Jones back for this game but he's not strong against a heavy pass team.  

[F250 28688]

Texas will win this game with defense. Texas has defense and OU does not. Just avoid a shootout and this should be a win.

[and 73]

Question is which coach does Texas get fired after this game?

[elnimo 55]

The difference in the game will be that the Big 12 refs will rig the game for 0U because they have a shot at the playoffs.  This will not be called fairly at all.

I think it who scores the most points.

[Damor 1232]

They have the best overall player but we have the better team.

Agreed, it can't be denied that Murray is an incredibly talented, explosive threat.

The best way to neutralize that is by turning him into a petulant bitch pouting on the sideline, which just so happens to be something in which we have previously demonstrated competency.

TTL, P.

[Henry Hill 3156]

Texas needs to go out and score. If they score more points than OU, they have a good chance of winning the game.

We can win a shootout. Control the ball, don't turn it over, and score everytime. Basically, be perfect. We did it for three quarters last month,

[hotdogGT 6]

I like our chances with a healthy Sam. Also it would be nice if we could avoid the 4th quarter tax. I agree OU is going to score quite a bit so every time we make them punt is a mini win. Likewise anytime we punt it lessens our percentage of a win. I know heavy analysis, but this is going to be magnified in a game like this. Also hoping for a quick recovery for Brandon Jones, he will be very important to our success in the secondary. Specificaly the difference in a 15 yard play and a scoring play. Secondary is going to have to get these guys on the ground. The front will do well if they can just minimalize the damage the midget can do with his feet, keep him contained, and don't give him an eternity to survey the field. We can't have a situation like that 4th down conversion OU got against WVU at the end of the game. This is my 2 cents. Going to be a hard fought back and forth game, probably an instant classic. Although I'd rather blow em out.

[alyeska 112]

Texas wins 45-35. 

[pops 6974]

Orlando needs to earn his fucking money. Fin.

[NBMisha 224]

 

We'll need the combination of our best offensive production and best defensive effort.  By definition that is a low probability outcome.  Plus, OU has been very consistent and UT frustratingly not so.  

But, I'm saying there's a chance.

Ewok needs to be driven into the ground early and often. OL needs to dominate as well.

They  can do it, they will do it.

[NBMisha 224]

We are trying to avoid that topic, thank you.

[Laga4 1270]

If our defense and offense show up and play for 4 qtrs.  we win the game fairly easily.

There will be no fairly easily. That's just fucking delusional hype train bullshit. If you don't know it, you are fooling yourself or haven't watched a lot of football.

We haven't fairly easily beaten a single team this year. Even if we play 4 quarters, which would be a first, it's still going to be a close game.

We had OU beat fairly easily for 3 qtrs in Dallas.  

If you have trouble dealing with a hypothetical,  go back to sleep.

We did not have ousux beat easily for 3 qtrs. It was a fucking 7 point game at half. We didn't go up by 21 until 56 seconds left in the 3rd. So it was a competitive game to that point with Texas playing better. Not easily beating them.

Ousux then ran off 3 unanswered in the 4th.

We haven't played a good 4th quarter all year. 

I was awake and at the fucking game.

There are other threads for the hype bullshit. 

This is for actual fact discussion.

Up 21 with 56 seconds left in the 3rd. 

I guess your definition of handily is different than mine.

[bornbama1 106]

I will definitely be pulling for the "Horns to stop ousux and their little midget. Is Texas and Iowa State the only teams in the Big 12 that even try to play defense? The game last night was nauseating to watch, I don't watch basketball and certainly don't care for it on grass.

You said "beating them fairly easily for 3 qtrs".

Being up 7 at half, by 7 half way through the 3rd and tied with 2 minutes to go does not fit my definition of beating a team fairly easily for 3 or 4 qtrs. Nor does it fit that of most rational people's definition.

Nice that you borrowed my time frame and didn't even bother to go back and look at the box score.

Here is the box score link to jog your shitty memory.

Go to the hype thread for your bullshit talk.

I just looked to the East and the sun is coming up.  Your day will get better.

BTW I will post where I like until a moderator tells me not to.  

Have a nice day.  

[FloridaHorn 4735]

Pressure has to get to Murray, early and often. Murray hates contact and gets happy feet when the d is getting hits on him. Orlando has got to find a way to get to Murray and still stop the run.

Yep!

[msucolt45 3991]

To Hell with the “talking heads” national sports media ! The Horns will be the more physical team on both sides of the ball.

It will come down to which team is “sloppy” on special teams. We must have time consuming drives too, which results in points, and keeps the D as fresh as possible.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2724]

Our WR’s will be open a lot.
Sam must be more consistent hitting them in stride. Being indoors I think he’ll improve over this past game.

Midget is going to look to run and slide so he doesn’t fumble upon any contact like against WV.

I predict pain for the dirt burglars.

[MotownHorn 1731]

Knock Kryler on his ass a lot

Win football game

The end 

[Brothahorn 10085]

Take proper angles and wrap the fuck up. No got damn shoulder shots.

Also do not give up outside containment.

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Our defense has played Murray and they know about his speed firsthand.  This should help them understand to take better angles  when he gets in open space.  

[jw4381 3063]

I hope our DBs keep an eye out for their deep outs. They were open all night in Morgantown. 

[HtownHorn 14487]

You can force Murray into TOs, he has absolutely no ball security when he is running.

[Bill Lumbergh 7170]

It will come down to playing sound on defense and Sam's health. 

If Sam is 100%, we will score on them.

If we play sound on defense, don't get caught up in trying to make big hits every play, stay on assignment, wrap up and take down, keep Murray in the pocket (no launching 5 yards up field behind him, pls) we've proven we can stop them as well as anyone has this year. 

I'm actually more concerned about the first than the second.  Sam was not sharp yesterday and we need him at his best vs ou.  If he is, I think we win again.
