*****GAME THREAD: TEXAS VS. MARYLAND*****

[Baron]

Our  OL is playing good, we need to run the ball and control the clock.

No. Average at best. At least from my perspective.

 

[CharcoalPuppy]

I think Ehlinger needs to run the ball more.

 

[okiehorn]

No. Average at best. At least from my perspective.

Average would be a giant step from 2017

 

[Baron]

Average would be a giant step from 2017

Okay, using your metric we can call it below average. We are in the same boat as last year. The running game is not opening up the passing game. I don't want to be argumentative but I just don't see much improvement over last year.

Sam has Zero turn overs which is a plus. Unfortunately other than a safety UT defense has None. If somehow Texas scores and wins this thing then it’s def better than 2017. If I remember correctly Texas had 2 Defensive scores and a punt return or something then? So far this is all offense production. Idk im just reaching, trying to find a positive

I agree with this.

I guess all the extra motion Maryland is doing has confused our LB's. I would've thought Orlando and the D prepared for this, it's Canada's signature offense.

It’s a lot to prepare for anyway you slice it. And it’s complicated by how last year played out in Baton Rouge because Canada was handcuffed most of the year. I’m not sure you can even really use that tape because it was far from what he did at Pitt.

Hopefully, the game will resume soon. This is like going to the movie and there's projector problems. Not sure if Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Suspending the Game ARTICLE 3. a. The referee may suspend the game temporarily when conditions warrant such action. b. When the game is stopped by actions of a person(s) not subject to the rules or for any other reasons not in the rules and cannot continue, the referee shall: 1. Suspend play and direct the players to their team areas. 2. Refer the problem to those responsible for the game’s management. 3. Resume the game when he determines conditions are satisfactory. c. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b before the end of the fourth period and cannot be resumed, there are four possible options: 1. Resume the game at a later date; 2. Terminate the game with a determined final score; 3. Forfeit of the game; or 4. Declare a no contest. The option that takes effect shall be determined by conference policy if both institutions are members of the same conference. In non-conference competition, the directors of athletics at the participating institutions or their designees, in consultation with the coaches, must agree on one of the four options. This agreement will include the final score if the game is terminated (Rule 8-1-2). d. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b after four periods of play and cannot be resumed, the game shall be ruled a tie. The final score shall be the score at the end of the last completed period. (Note: If a winner must be determined in a conference playoff game, conference policy shall determine when and where the game will be resumed.) e. A suspended game, if resumed, will begin with the same time remaining and under the identical conditions of down, distance, field position and player eligibility.

[Drunk and lost in ATX]

The only positive of this delay is I am way more drunk and lost than I should be at this time...

 

[Baron]

So how does this work with FS1? Are they done or will they broadcast the end of the game?

I wasn't planning on drinking during the game, but I started drinking after the 1st qtr and haven't stopped.  Actually think I fell asleep for a little bit.

If we lose this game, you will have plenty of time to get drunk and lost. If we win then you will just have time to be drunk.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Teams are back on the field. And the sun is out. Game will resume shortly. 

 

[okiehorn]

Thank god, ready to rock in roll. Need a score this drive 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Jamison back to receive the kick. We are back, folks.
