*****GAME THREAD: No. 7 Texas Longhorns @ No. 18 Missouri Tigers*****

[Baron]

Excellent 4th qtr. As long as they can stay even with a team in the 3rd qtr they will have a chance.

Why can't we play like this every quarter?

 

[texbound]

So nice not having to pucker the last minute and a half

Oh I still puckered until that last tipped pass. Two onside kicks will do that to a person.

 

[Dillohorn1]

Good win on the road.

I don't know what Arch's stats were yet, but I felt he played a helluva game.

The OL held up for the most part although there were still some mistakes.

Still too many penalties.

Defense again rose to the occasion. I was a little worried initially, but 'Champ made some adjustments and turned it around. We were dominant.

Hats off to Littleton for a great play there near the end. I didn't understand why he didn't go ahead and score but turns out he did the right thing.

Wingo gets a game ball from me. As does Arch. Others were Roberson, who got picked on all day and held his ground well. Littleton's pick at the end was made possible by a great hit by Roberson. I love the way this kid lays the wood. Jackson and Giffard played very good. Biles was his usual self. How about Colton Vasek? All game balls.

It is tough to win on the road in the SEC, especially when it's a ranked opponent. But we pulled it off comfortably, making our fourth win of the season over a ranked opponent. That will speak volumes to the CFP folks, even if we were to lose to LSU.

I thought Sark called a good game. Notice how we didn't go bombs away so much this game? I think the inside slants are money for us. Arch made some good reads and checked down when he needed to.

Really, just a polar opposite of what we've seen out of this offense first half of the season.

We're 7-2. Hopefully, the injuries aren't too bad. I was hoping we'd save Simmons for LSU.

1. I think Arch has the yips. Especially when deciding to run or throw.
2. The OL is still a disappointment.
3. Penalties were less this week, but still impactful.
4. Are y'all done trashing Wingo? Dude has always been a stud.
5. Sark's play calling was horrendous again. The team won despite him.
6. Despite all of my negativity this was a satisfying win. We need to carry this to Baton Rouge next week.

1. Picky, picky, picky. Most important stat – no INTs. Only fumbled while passing and we got a first down out of it.

2. Adjust your expectations. However, Arch did have some time in the pocket today.

3. Yep

4. I haven't heard a lot of Wingo bashing. You sure it was this board?

5. We just disagree

6. Hell to the yeah it was.

 

[NEOkHorn]

I got so tired of hearing the announcers talking about Mizzou not getting any breaks. The bad no fumble call at the end of the half cost Texas 3 points. Simmons is as clearly held a couple times, and Wingo was held in the end zone and Mosley was on another play. All evidence to a poorly officiated game for both sides.

 

[Baron]

1. Yep. He still has the yips when he is deciding to run or throw at the LOS.
2. Why?
3. We're good
4. Last year most of y'all wanted him to portal.
5. Sark is our own worst enemy right now. He refuses to adjust to what is happening on the field. The 3rd quarters are proof of that.
6. Hook'em!

Different story in the 3rd today. 2 drives for a total of 10 plays, 130+ yards, and 10 points. If not for a missed tackle that resulted in a long Mizzou td, Texas dominated the qtr. The best part is we overcame difficulty with the fumble on the KO. Maybe progress.

2. Because you play the hand you're dealt. Not the one you wish you had.

5. I thought it was Sark's best called game yet. No long developing pass plays this time. Got the ball to the backs via the run and the pass. Those TD passes were wide open . . . because of scheme. Thats good play calling.

2. My expectations never change. I expect Texas to win every game.

Well, we did win. We were talking about the OL.

Well, we did win. We were talking about the OL.

And it was a great win. Texas has positioned themselves well going into nest week.

 

[texbound]

Texas only had two penalties in the second half. Based on previous weeks that is a huge development. Also, they scored 10 points in the 3rd qtr.
