Game Thread: Texas vs. TCU

[HornSports Staff]

The Texas Longhorns (3-1, 1-0) head to Cowtown this week to face the TCU Horned Frogs (2-1, 0-0), a team that has had their number more times than not over the last decade.  Gary Patterson is nothing short of masterful in his pre-Texas game preparation, and the Longhorns should expect to see a Horned Frog team that is ready to play on Saturday.  

A win sets the Longhorns up with a perfect conference record and Big 12 title aspirations as they head into the Red River Shootout next week.  A loss derails the momentum established since the loss in Fayetteville and makes the preseason goal of a conference championship much more difficult to achieve.  The Big 12 is up for grabs and Texas needs a win against TCU in order to stake their claim.

J Thompson is out. Crap. Hard enough to stop the long balls already.

7 Robinson stops a runback TD. Damn.

 

[Johnny Depp]

Evans runs right through the D. Let's hope we can put up points to stay with TCU's quick scoring so far.

 

[Johnny Depp]

Damn, just  missed Moore on a long one.

 

[Johnny Depp]

Run game looking good so far. Nice drive.

 

[Johnny Depp]

Roshojo wildcat, Wiley offsides. Pass play, sacked.

 

[dillohorn]

Bad ko coverage. Missed long pass. Penalty. Sack.  Great start.

 

[TexCoyote]

Oakfor can’t see.  He never stays in his lane.  Same thing he’s done 20 times this year.  He’ll go help and leave his lane open.  We need to be better at left guard.  

 

[dillohorn]

Another penalty

 

[HORNfromETX]

Really lucky there

 

[NEOkHorn]

Agreed but Jones completely whiffed.

 

[Johnny Depp]

TCU shot themselves in the foot, but pin us on the goal line with a rolling punt.

 

[dillohorn]

UT lets the punt roll to the 1. Great.

 

[Johnny Depp]

1st punt in forever. This ain't Rice or Tech. Frogs are jumpin.

 

[dillohorn]

UT is not ready for this game.
