So much for running the ball. Thanks #1.

Sark played with their HC & OC when he was at BYU. In his final year (1996), he beat aggy in the opener and K-St in the Cotton Bowl and ended up #5 in the AP Poll.

What a Catch!!! and pass

 

[Soldierhorn]

Worthy is not a possession receiver. MM needs to quit focusing on him

 

[Soldierhorn]

MM locked in on Worthy again and threw int

OL is not giving MM enough time

 

[NEOkHorn]

Defense!!

 

[Soldierhorn]

there you go; RUN THE BALL. dont rely on MM's arm throwing to his comfort blanket (worthy)

 

[Soldierhorn]

THERE YOU GO! TD Brooks split three defenders. impressive

 

[jimmmyb]

Brooks is the man!

 

[Soldierhorn]

Texas has WAY to many athletes to force it to worthy every play

Murphy living dangerously with some of his throws.

 

[Soldierhorn]

Good run Baxter!

 

[Soldierhorn]

Another good run by Brooks
Keep running the ball and it will slow down the D rush and open up throwing lanes later.

Murphy living dangerously with some of his throws.

Exactly. Now I see why Sark said he needed to learn to take care of the ball. Holding my breath every time he drops back. Trusts his arm more than his eyes.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

End of 1st. So far, so good.

I'd like to see a couple of scoring drives in the 2nd. Hope Sark gives Murph more chances to throw. He needs the experience.

Breaks have fallen our way. BYU penalty after long gain. JT Sanders with the catch that bounced off him, bounced off the defender back to Sanders' hands. Worthy fumble that bounced back to him.

We're solid on defense.

Special teams got a score. Check. Now it's time for the defense to score.

 

[Ntx dog]

Jesus

 

[Soldierhorn]

Terrible blocking on the right side caused a fumble

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Protection break down. It cost us.
