******GAME THREAD: No. 8 Texas Longhorns vs. Houston Cougars******

[Sirhornsalot]

All I can really say about this game is that I'm glad we won. In the past, we've found ways to lose this type of game.

I'm not sure what Houston did, but you can bet every team left on our schedule is going to use it.

I hope Ewers is going to be okay. Hate to lose him. I did find some confidence in Murphy though. WRs are going to have to get used to Murphy's fast balls.

That's not the way i saw it. QE saw him and rolled his shoulder to the defender to absorb the hit.
Once he got the necessary yards, he should have slid the moment someone got close. Fighting for extra yardage is not his role and he will have a short career if he keeps it up.

I saw the replay, and the defender may have been shielded behind XW until the last moment when QE braced himself for the hit. Regardless, in retrospect sliding would have been a smarter play. Aside from that, QE played an excellent game until he had to leave.

Defense gave up 392 total yards

I've calmed down a little and the only thing that matters now is I can go play golf tomorrow and not have to answer, "How did they lose to Houston?"

Also forgot to add, it could be worse we could be Arkansas fans. They scored 3 points against a very bad Miss St defense.

Had to edit above.....too many shots of crown tonight. Speaking of, found a new one...Salted Caramel Crown. That is awesome.

Well everything runs through Lubbock, so at least they have that

I like that Salted Carmel Crown as well, and I don’t know why. Haha

Texas has shown two games of film on how weak we are on pass coverage

No problem for secondary Sark has recruited a lot of DL.

Didn’t get to watch the game but just from scrolling through the moaning and comments maybe I didn’t miss much. Still stings from ou loss but I was shocked with the final score, just barely won. Oh well a win is a win

It may have actually been closer than the score.

All these teams will play us well…

Should they change the team motto to "some gas and then some brakes, then more gas"? Because that sure is what it feels like

I heard sark changed the motto from all gas no brakes to: slow and cautious (offense) and wheels off (defense).

Some of y’all crack me up but I’m not laughing with you. ou struggled at home against a team that lost to Kansas by 29. While we won on the road to a team who earlier stated they could lose all their games as long as they beat Texas.

I listened to Sark with a post game interview with Craig Way, he said QE has a shoulder injury on his throwing side, not a Dr but if he could throw afterwards it would not be a separation, my guess, bruised shoulder or sprain, if the didnt have an MRI at Baylor Medical they were stupid

 

[Eastexhorn]

If his throughing shoulder he should sit out till healed. We have had enough of injured QBS in Sarks three years. BYU might be Horns toughest game left on sch.

 

[Billybass]

Wondering if Murphy struggles, how long till we see Arch ?

Texas will be everybody’s national championship every week

Edit: Texas better be prepared for adversity, and be ready for dogfights.

NC losing to 1-5 Virginia

Washington going to the wire with 1-5 ASU. Just a couple more examples. The transfer portle has certainly helped “level” the playing field each week. Anything can happen

last night in his after game press conference , he said he had confidence in Maalik and Arch, made no mention of moving Charles Wright up to save Arch red shirt
