Texas vs. Oklahoma

Some quick thoughts on the first half

The defense gave up 281 yards, but they looked totally different in doing so. Three big turnovers stopped OU drives, but on the downside Texas was only able to get three points from the results.

For the first time in a while, the officiating bias is slanting strongly towards Texas. Texas got away with a huge break on a PI no call when Dylan Haines picked off his second pass of the game. The Sooners haven't had many bounces go their way, and they've shot themselves in the foot more than a few times.

The Texas offense doesn't look right. Shane isn't all the way healthy, D'Onta doesn't look all the way healthy, and the offensive line isn't helping out much. The Longhorns racked up 130 yards in the first half, and put together a promising drive to end it that only resulted in three points. All things considered, they are fortunate this is a one point game.

This will be difficult to close out if Shane can't start connecting on those deep balls in the second half. Texas needs someone else (Kyle Porter) to step up in the running game in order to be able to sustain drives.
Spot on.

 
There were some things in the first half that worked schematically.  Deep balls to Burt were there, and the post to Dorian Leonard could have been executed better.  They don't need to abandon those things.

So they miss "one" call and it's slating towards Texas? What does that make the other games where several calls went against us?

Deep pass out of the chute

 
Shane has under-thrown several balls. he doesn't and Texas is ahead in this game.

Nice tackling. And again, WR is wide freaking open behind the DBs
