*****TEXAS vs. OKLAHOMA STATE GAME THREAD*****

[texbound]

I got a bad feeling about the Sterns injury.  Rewatched the play and the reaction from Sterns and it didn't look good.  Looked like they were looking at his ACL.  As a coach you can tell from guys reactions.  I dont know, just a bad feeling.

Was thinking the same thing. Blew mine and oh my goodness, pain was unreal for about an hour. Than gradually got better over the next 24 hours but at 1st it was intense.

By the way, anyone else notice the final play by Sam was similar that the one that iced it for OKSt last year?  I think Okst last year was a zone read QB keeper though.

At times we absolutely imposed our will on both sides of the LOS. That was good to see. Ingram ran well, the offense looked sharp until we “lost interest”, the last three times we had the ball it seemed coaches and players felt the game was over and went hyper conservative and sloppy. 

Our defense shut down their rushing offense and Wallace had 5 catches for 83 yards. That is impressive. A few nifty runs by Sanders was it. Our secondary looked better tonight than they have all year. 

Good win

Good post.

I love Brandon Jones and he played a fine game at safety.  But I’d make him strand 10 feet behind the bench when the punt return team is on the field.  What on earth could have possibly been in his head?

good win!  I hope we get a lot of negative MRI results in the next day or two.

I was thinking the same watching the way they treated his knee and the look he had on his face. I’m worried about that injury.

Good win. Costly win. UT should never let another team "own" it.

Hopefully Foster and Overshown are back for WVU and the Sterns injury is just a sprain.   Jalen Green may be out for a little spell with a dislocated shoulder and Josh Thompson will be out at least 4 weeks with a broken toe so that means Jamison, Cook and Boyce have to man the corner spots.  Time for Cook to live up to his ranking.  I feel good with the S position if Foster and Overshown are there in case Sterns is out for extended time.  Brown and Estelle are doing good work there and Brandon Jones is constant.

Giad you mentioned Estelle he is really improving IMO. He had two of the few pass breakups . Can Texas never return punts ? I can remember a muff costing Texas a National Championship. Wonder if Herman can?

The punt fumble by Smith should have never happened with halftime seconds away. Immediately reminded me of the UGA/UT Cotton bowl.

I had the same thought.

Also cost us an injury right afterwards.

Texas game should come with a warning like cigarettes. A warning that these games will shorten your life.

I noticed Sterns was slow to get up the play before he went out. He was limping a little but seemed to try and walk it off. 

I love Brandon Jones and after the punt goof I could tell he didn’t want to get up from the ground. Nobody felt worse than he did at that moment. IF he is on the field to return another punt I guarantee he will never try that again. 

Ok St should have never gotten their offense on the field their last 3 possessions without us scoring. For a guy as aggressive as Herman is in the course of a game he gets too conservative when we have a lead in the 4th. That has to stop.

texbound, do we know Green has a dislocated shoulder?

I remember him catching a punt running backwards inside the 5 yard line a couple years ago and costing us big time.  

He's a valuable player at safety.  Keep him off the dad-gummed field on punt return. I’m sorry but I cannot fathom being that obtuse of the situation!  

And while I’m on my rant - if a coach wasn’t in his ear as he trotted on the field with the final instructions “if it’s not an easy catch, get the heck away!” then they deserve a swift kick in the pants too!  Bush league is not a severe enough term for that play.

CTH admitted he should have instructed him to avoid the ball as needed before that punt.  So I blame everybody.

– I think some here underestimate how good OSU is. They're going to win some games this year. Wouldn't surprise me if they knock off OU. They were back to their old selves again, IMO. That QB Sanders is very difficult to defend, even as young as he is. They've owned us in this series. I'm glad we got the W. Glad there wasn't 5 minutes more on that clock.

– I'm not as upset with Orlando as some are. Some of these players still need to grow up a little in their positions. I was encouraged by the Green/Jamison combo at CB. 

– A good example of "grow up a little" is Montrell Estell. His light has turned on. Good performance from him.

– As someone else said, we owned the LOS on both sides of the ball. You can't ask for more than that.

– Hello running game.

– Anyone else think Devurney reminds a lot of Quan Cosby?

– That 4th and 1 play where Roach blew up the middle was a DL coaches wet dream. He knocked two OL backwards into the backfield and forced the play to go where it wasn't supposed to go. Wow. Big time players show up in big time situations.

– Best offense we'll see this year besides OU. I'm not sure Sanders isn't better than Hurts. Sanders is going to be a tough out the next couple years.

– Dear Tom Herman. Take the points. Take the points. Take the points.

– Chris Adimora is going to be a seriously good player for us.

– Did anyone else see the end of the play where Angilau was getting up from his block and ended up sitting on the facemask of the guy? I almost spewed my Coke. I considered it an exclamation point. lol

– We are fortunate to have a QB the caliber of Sam Ehlinger. After years in the wilderness, it just feels good.

Don’t feel good about that win at all

Seriously?

Horns playing not to lose? 

There was no point in the entire game that they were playing to lose.
