Wonder if Van Fillinger is having second thoughts

I will say this.  Their DL is pretty stout!

 

[83Dee]

We’re baaaaack...to 8-5!

This will give us a good feel for the offseason, even with the 8-5.

I was thinking the same thing 

 

[The Tinman]

Happy New Year! Everyone be safe tonite! I will enjoy this W and the offseason.

This result is what I hoped for but didn't expect. Texas dominated Utah after a slow start by the offense.

My initial thoughts:

Herman needs to take a long hard look at his decision making on 4th down in the red zone. His failure rate has to be above 75%.

Ossai is the next great player that will be drafted from UT. The dude was all over the place tonight. Ash will make him a star.

Adimora played well. I assume he got his chance after Brown and Jones didn't play.

Graham had his best of his career. 

DevDuv showed everyone why his drop percentage is just above zero.

The continuation of play without a helmet penalty is complete bullshit. I have never seen that called. Ever.

And to think several people here didn't want Texas to play in a bowl.  ?  I wonder if they watched tonight's game in their "safe space"? Yea, I'm tipsy, but I'm not driving so....

Happy New Year and HOOKEM!

Is it just me or did we find a decent linebacker in Cort Jaquess?

Perhaps the best French linebacker in the Big 12?

Dude looked the part, looked like a good sized LB who ran to the ball.  Interesting he got so much playing time.  Great for him, gotta be one of the best moments of his life!

Is he a walk on? Never heard his name before.

Walk on

Happy New Year folks. Enjoyed watching the game as well as keeping up with your updates on the drive home. Even sweeter coming home to all the crying in sooner land. 

 

[Baron]

Happy New Year everyone!

 

[MikeV73]

So, Rising still wishing he got to play against his old team?  Guessing he’s glad he didn’t come in and get beaten down by Ossai and company.

 

[83Dee]

“Former walk on” according to commentators

But that LB from Frisco Lone Star is validated.

But that LB from Frisco Lone Star is validated.  

Utah is a good football team.  They just ran into a buzz saw last night and couldn’t getaway from it.  Texas was prepared and amped for the game.

Our defense, wow. 

Where was this type of swarming defense all year long?
