***The Official Texas vs. Kansas Game Thread***

Thanks guys

Swoopes is better than Case. We should not suck this bad .......

Yeah, but the OL is actually worse and the pla ycalling is really not any better if not worse.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Glad our defense came to play. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

There we go D. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Our offense has a long way to go. At least we hit a field goal. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Nick Rose hits a 42-yarder and the Longhorns take a 16-0 lead over KU.

this is why i just cannot understand why some of our very own stalwarts... constantly try and laugh at, talk about, and denigrate​

other school's football teams, when our's can barely beat a kansas team.​

if it wouldn't be for our defense's myriad of interceptions today... there's just no telling where we would be at this point.​

what on earth has happened to us?  happy EARLY HALLOWEEN everyone!​

Very confused by the offensive play calling today. Where are the quick slant passes? Passes to the backs? Swoopes is really not fast enough for the speed option. We are playing so slow. We still can't get any playmakers involved. I realize this is a comically bad O-line, but Watson is doing them no favors. Really disappointed by the offense today, and they have taken a major step backwards with 2 weeks to prepare.

Me thinks Mr Strong needs to sit Mr Watson down and educate him on the concept of calling routs that actually will get you a first down and not leave you 5 yards short. They have to have a 15 yard rout package some where in the offense.

1. WOW we just hit a field goal!!!!!!!!!

2. Yea agree with everyone on the play calling. Lot of questionable stuff. I really don't want to hear about the fact that they are trimming it down for Swoopes as that really only covers so much of the issue. There are ways to mitigate the OL issues as well. Very un-inspiring. Just not good no matter how you slice it.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Here's most likely the game on CBS. If Arkansas hits this field goal they probably beat Aggy. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Man Arkansas is trying to choke this game away. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

The zone read is not working for Swoopes but I'm fairly impressed with his decision-making on the passes - particularly the ones where he makes the right call and throws it away instead of trying to make something happen that is not there.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Arkansas is about to pull one of the biggest choke jobs I've ever seen.

Love the pumpkin but defense is part of the game. There are always games where you can say that if it wasn't for .....the outcome would be different. By no means am I saying that this is a good Texas team but what ever happens between the lins is part of the game and can't be dismissed.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Swoopes has looked good. The offensive line and playcalling just aren't there right now. 

Aggy and Arkansas headed to overtime.

Icky....

Wow Arkansas choked away the game. Bielema should be fired for that choke job.
