GAME THREAD: #21 Texas Longhorns vs. #6 Oklahoma Sooners

I love college football, it would be nice to be on the winning team again at the Red River. 

I can't help but think of the Houston Oiler's getting beat from behind by Frank Reich and the Bills. Sickening.

 
I mean....what is there to say after that? Why did Sark try to adjust away from what they were doing in the first half? I understand feeding Bijan, but they needed to keep using him as a decoy. Can't keep feeding him with 7-8 guys in the box.

 
We had no answer for the direct snap to Kennedy Brooks. They ran it early with success. I knew we'd see it again.

Painful loss. We had an 18 pt lead and lost it.

Xavier Worthy deserves some praise. Kid made a mistake, but came back to redeem himself. Thats moxie.

OU was determined to shut down Bijan. Still we had success through the air . . . when we had time.

It sucks, another year of living with this. The only solace I take is this is Sark's first go-round and he, for a half at least, won the battle. We haven't come close to out-coaching an OU staff in years and years.

OL is killing us. I don't know what we do. Having Jones out there is like having a tackling dummy there. Seriously. Rewatch the game and watch him. He's not the only issue we have. Why is our center jumping for crying out loud? Happened twice I think.

Glad to see Moore get some touches. He can make Worthy more effective if he continues to step up.

Very disappointed we didn't see K-Rob. Wasted opportunity, IMO.

I didnt get to see the game (mother's funeral and finishing up in SA before i leave), but it sounds like it played out the way we ALL knew it would.  A lot of us hoped against hope, but this set of guys just dont have the mental makeup yet.  These are Herman traits left over.  I dont think this game changes the recruiting fire at the moment. Im sure Campbell probably saw that he could start day 1 and Im betting Stewart saw what Worthy did.  Texas needs 2 - 3 more solid OL (22 kids or portal), a shutdown corner and high speed LB.  Kids see that.  They know this team is right there and one game does not change that.  Now the real test comes, can they bounce back and take care of OSU and go into Ames and beat ISU.  They do that and they will see this team again in December.

 
1. This was a gut punch loss.

2. Why did Sark go away from the first half game plan. I give ou's defense credit but they aren't that good. We stopped attacking the corners and started running Bijan between the tackles.

3. No one can play defense in the Big 12, but all we needed was one stop. Coach K should have been able to generate that.

4. We will meet those bastards again. Texas shouldn't lose another game this season. It's Texas and ou and then there is the rest. Baylor & Okie lite might hang in there but Texas has shown this season that they have the best offense in the conference.

Sorry for your loss Tex.

Sorry for your loss Bro. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Your analysis is spot on. This team is on the verge regardless of today's result.

 
As I remember the BYU game that got Manny Diaz fired, the defense was not quite as bad as today in the 2nd half. 

Kwiatkowski needs to improve by the end of the season.
