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

Tried to go back to the TE throwback play that worked against USC. Maryland was on it. Still down 2.

Sam still not aware of game situations. Let your playmakers make a play.

Texas has life!

He did.... it scored a touchdown. He wouldn’t have thrown that money ball last year.

Who ever was calling the plays these last two series won the job and gets to continue.

 

[okiehorn]

O-Line finally showing life and when they do Sam and Company can get it done. It’s amzing how it works

I thought that's what they were going to run. Lol

Texas gets the ball to start the 2nd half

Pretty obvious that Herman has taken over play calling. Just do it from now on

 

[BevoBlake]

Definitely think Herman took over playcalling in the 2nd Quarter. That was a complete change of gameplan.

Throwing it away to avoid a sac on a 2 point conversion reminds me of several plays I’d like to forget last year.  I was hoping this kind of thing was in the past.

I stand corrected. My internet feed was behind on the 2 point conversion play lol

1 for 7 on third down is horrible. Our offense better pick it up in the second half.

one point...on that last CJ touchdown...what a catch....but why was pass interference not called/....That guy was tackling Johnson for 2 seconds before the ball got there....It would have been declined of course, but that had to be called.

 

[oldhorn2]

We get the ball to start the second half....if we score on that we have a good chance to take over the game.

I think you're right. I thought that as well.

Halftime thoughts from the press box:

• Despite a miserable performance on both sides of the ball, Texas found a way to claw back into this with a late half rally. Got hit hard with some adversity, but showed a lot of fight down the home stretch. 
  
• Losing Gary Johnson to targeting is BRUTAL. It's been said time and time again that Texas couldn't afford to lose him for any period of time and a bone headed play got him tossed.
  
• Matt Canada's offense has the defense's head swimming a good bit, but they seemed to calm down as the half wore on. It's a lot coming at you at once and is easy to become undisciplined with your eyes.
  
• More Keaontay Ingram and Tre Watson. There wasn't a lot of room to run with the OL struggling, but Texas has had the most success with them in the game. 
  
• I know some didn't like the idea of going for two at the end of the half, but I could make cases for it either way. 
  

This is going to be a nail biter, folks. But we have ourselves a ball game and Texas gets it coming out of the locke room.

Aye man at least we're showing life and get the ball to start the second half. This game could be a way uglier score. Texas is showing fight and resiliency. Can't be mad with it.

Exactly!  I wondering the same thing.  Just because it was a TD doesn't mean you don't have to call it.
