*****GAME THREAD: No. 1 Texas versus Oklahoma*****

I do not disagree. That last interception should be an eye opener. I saw it, you saw it, everyone saw OK loading the right side for pressure. Arch didn't see it and neither did Robertson to adjust line protection and the result was an INT.

Does Sark not allow Arch to make adjustments? If so, does he not trust him? Any good C would see that and make the proper line adjustments. It feels like Sark calls a play and that is the play that they run regardless. That is a problem.

I recently heard (last week) Arch say he always ran the plays as called by Sark.

That is not good.

The O-line was bad, Arch Manning made a couple of great TD throws but otherwise was not good. Special teams was horrible, and playcalling was subpar. Penalties killed this team yesterday as well. Texas not being able to get the ball into the end zone and settling for a field goal seems to be a trend. Have to find a way to take advantage of those opportunities.

One thing that baffles me, right before the half Cooper was gashing OU so why did he not get any touches in the 2nd half? Did he get injured again?

Also, mind you that I'm not genius OC or anything, but it seemed like the OU ends were crashing hard inside, wouldn't a little zone read have paid off in that situation?

Not long after his three long runs, he had a few runs for probably -5 yards total so they went away from him.

Just a very bad decision on Sark's part. Cooper was the type of runner we needed against that front 7.

Not every run is going to bust for 10 yards. Sark should know better.

It's not at all, lol. Look at the evidence.

The Texas offense currently:
-projects to have its fourth straight year of scoring less points than the previous season.
-it currently has the highest 3-&-out drive rate of any team in the SEC
-Texas is averaging 1.63 points per possession in two SEC games. That mark ranks 103rd in the country.

It’s actually slightly impressive that the numbers could be this awful with as much talent as they have.

Really? 6-6?

I'm not one of those that kept saying that phrase.

I'm not saying we aren't. We've been back for a few years now.
