Looked like a knee, though the way he stayed down, wonder if he got kicked or cleated.

Gotta stop those penalties

 

[Huskie1]

Penalties still an issue. I have faith Sark will harp on that

 

[Huskie1]

Damn penalties 

 

[Johnny Depp]

Running out the clock. Not all gas no brakes...

 

[dillohorn]

 A win in a must win game. Now comes Feyettenam.

I thought it was a good win against a pretty good team. Still lots to work on. Penalties bother me and the line play is concerning.

But…. A 20 point win is a nice place to start!!! 
I like where this team might be able to go. 

Hook ‘em

Good win. Sark gets his first win of many. A few things to clean up but that’s typical for a first game. Really like the coaching staff. Hey even the officiating wasn’t too bad. 
WE WANT MARYLAND!!!! just kidding. Better get ready because it will be the Hogs game of Century. ????

Can anybody confirm if Wiley played? Seems like we're completely blowing an opportunity to have another huge weapon on the field if he's just sitting on the sideline constantly behind Brewer. No disrespect to Cade, but feel like we're not utilizing Wiley enough.

we are on the path to we suck until we dont. today was a great first step forward. our offense did a great job and i loved seeing our defense in the back field. i think the D needs to still step up a notch more but this was a good first step.

Emmanuel said it right, “Competent in all phases.”

I saw that, too. Pay site?

This is the only Longhorn site I visit but can not remember which thread I saw it on last night. 

 

[Eastexhorn]

Good win. RBS- A+ QBS A, WR & TES B+ OL C.

Defence as  a whole A.

Should be undeafeared till OU. They looked beatable.

 

[Noonan]

So does Manning commit tonight or tomorrow?? ??

Wiley had his arm in a sling in a picture yesterday. It’s on one of the threads on this site.

Ahhh. Thanks, I didn't see that. Hopefully he's healthy soon and we can make him useful.

UT fans got a sample of what this offense can do, Sark didnt open the playbook but its obvious this aint the offense we have seen on the 40 Acres in a LONG Long  time...defense gave up too many completions for my tastes but at least they didnt have to bring the house on every down....

This team will score and score often and from the ground and the air....

If they keep improving the Red River Rivalry may not be the forgone conclusion the so called prognosticators think it is

Well said. I will have to go back and watch the dvr to be sure but it did not seem that Coach K brought many blitzes. Have to think it was a fairly vanilla game plan and we will see a much more aggressive defense beginning at Hogville.

Good game overall.  Exactly what you want. Did a lot of good things to build on, had some things to teach and cleanup and most importantly they got the win.

DL played sound football, but not dominating.  I know that sounds weird saying that when they had 6 sacks.  However, i thought they missed some gap assignments and didn't get a consistent push.  Lbs played well and accounted for 30 tackles.  That is awesome and what they're supposed to do.  DBs played soft at times, but that may have been by design.  Best thing i can say is that they didn't beat deep all day. A lot to be happy with and a lot to teach.

Offense was slow out of the gate, but picked it up in the 2nd half.  Both QBs looked poised and confident and made some off script plays. 0 turnovers from the QB position is always a good thing.  All 3 RBs were solid and Bijan did his thing.  Thought he could've done more if the blocking had been there. All receivers were solid.  I don't think I saw a single drop (could be wrong). Oline was pedestrian.  Did some good things but saw too many whiffed blocks and the holding calls were maddening. 

STs was very good today minus the missed FG and block in the back on 1st PR.

Overall, good first game and win

Didn’t get to see....did we sing EOT after the game?
