*****GAME THREAD: TEXAS VS. USC*****

WTH is up with Herbstreit, why is he hating on UT and comparing us the last ten years to PITT...

 
My thoughts on OU after their game with ISU.

Kyler Murray has a hard time seeing over his OL. He moves laterally in the pocket to help in that regard. Hopefully, we notice this on film.

The OU OL is fairly solid, despite their losses from last year.

OU is in trouble at RB. Their backups are nothing special.

WR play is being hurt to some extent by Murray's inability to find them. On planned stuff, it seems to be ok. But when he has to check down, its a problem.

Murray won't get much help this year at TE. Calcaterria fumbled today and wasn't real active otherwise. It was so bad that Reilly inserted someone in his place who had never played a down in three years.

OU's defense can be run on. Iowa State's OL is no slouch, but OU was pounded by Montgomery today.

Pass defense wasn't that great. It was hit and miss all day. ISU got their shots in and it hurt OU.

Was not impressed at all with OU's LB play.

OU's kicker is money from 45 yards and in. He is also the punter and does a credible job of that, too.

 
Kansas demolished Rutgers. Got some breaks, but still looked like the are no longer a bottom feeder. 

 
Ok so my stay positive take is that Herman was overconfident with Maryland and Tulsa and dumbed down the game plan and got caught with his pants down both times. Now he's going to let it all loose and we pull a thrilling game out of our collective butts and look pretty salty doing it - enough to keep all our big targets interested and maybe even sell a few. And now I will take another giant bong hit (figuratively, of course).

Why do I have this feeling like I dont want to watch this game?  It doesn't matter that USC is struggling as well, Texas has a must win game in front of them.  If they dont play well in tight situations, as Herman has said, then this  doesnt bode well for tonight's game.  I hope it is just the cold I'm fighting that is making me a debbie downer.

Sounds like to me you need some "medicine" for your cold  ;)  

And, while you're at it, put your big boys pants on. We've got a game to play, damn it!

Remember, Tom said there is no pressure...or something to that effect.  Man up team and kick some ass tonight!
