Second Half Open Thread

what happened to I-formation plays and did jermichael get benched?

To mattw, or anyone else: blasting the players excessively as was done in the other thread will get you banned.

I haven't been paying attention 100%, but I haven't really heard from him. What's he up to today?

USC's season. No Pac-10 title, no National title.

That we cannot make up our mind on what we are.  Last year, we said this is our offense, we're going 3 wides and passing all over the field - try and stop it.  Now, we have no identity and especially NO rhythm.  The Texas and Saints offense have morphed into the same unit: underacheiving O-line, talented RB that likes to dance when nothing's there, WR's who can't get seperation against man-to-man, QB making uncharacteristic bad reads and bad decisions.  Nightmare...

Charles: 5.9 yds/rush
McGee: 7.3 yds/rush

close to scoring

We get the ball first, right?

on SC with 10:30 to go in the game....'bout the only thing worth getting up for at the moment.

Isn't he on a 2-game home losing streak?

we kicked?  Did I miss something?

Ryan Palmer with horrific technique there.

And hope our running game can torch them.

This is too easy!

Nebraska might cover it at this rate.

Mack getting whooped by a coach that's gonna get canned!

how about that trip to Aggieland now?

To Swift. Same safety loses him.

Lots of time left on the clock!

I thought this whole "GD will make it simpler for McCoy" strategy was actually working. Should've known it was only because we were playing Iowa St and Baylor.

When was the last time Cosby broke one or even got to midfield on a kickoff return?

Do we have fight left, or is it time to start the bus?

Is Ron Franklin's announcing partner. I'm dying here.

It's the nature of being Texas.

Even the worst teams will play their hearts out against us. It's a matter of high levels of motivation for opposing teams that we can't seem to counter. Exhibit A: Kansas State.

Run run pass.  This is going to haunt me for a few nights.  It's so predictable it's unpredictable!

both Stafford and Tebow are Sophomores. This coulf be a great game for the next three years.

I thought it was a good move to put him in the O-line. At least we're trying something.

Cosby can't do anything with the punt, and we can't block punts.

Lets just put him in and see what happens.

Enough to get 1st downs.

by Charles. Good play too. Need to get him in the open field. Not near the trenches.

we can't get a single big play

We are consistently feeding Cosby. Now we get a big penalty on NU.

Hey it's ROGER!

comes down to this 4th down

17-6. Defense needs a turnover.

seriously.  this is getting ridiculous.

is positively glacial.  It doesn't seem like it is moving at all, but give us a few thousand years and we can carve valleys.

The ducks defense is out of gas

Oregon INT

going to need some good mojo to win this one... and mojo doesn't seem to like us much this year.

Great play

For when you rush a field.  When you're ranked #5 and they're ranked #12... not a rushable win.

Oregon was higher ranked and the fave ... fans still stormed the field

We're not dead yet guys!

Colt is running for his life as soon as he gets the snap.

Because they know we're running it. There's absolutely no imagination here.

Running straight up the middle when it's never worked?

Of course, they need the 2-point conversion

18-17

FBI has just reported that Tom Osborne has paid off Greg Davis and Duane Akina...are u surprised?

Gave up two ridiculous TDs, but they've also gotten a number of stops.

looking to take their first lead

How about someone give a quick summary of our next field goal drive so I can watch "football"?

Seriously, how is this even possible?  Do GD and DA even watch film of what others times do to our opponents?  With this talent, I could call a better game.

Mack, time to get the fireman's hat on.  You are up the creek with out an coordinator.

that JOHN CHILES will lead us to victory

I can't see this on TV - but what's up with Colts numbers?  Poor passing?  Dropped passes?  Collapsing pockets?

This may be the worst offensive game plan I have seen GD put together.. and that's saying something.

Make it rain on NU

Signs of life!

Chiles' presence opens up the hole for Charles.

Oh great, now McCoy is back.

The QB threat makes a difference. Nice keep Colt!

Why is it so easy now?

Must get two!

...celebrating?  We are still losing guys.

Are extremely confusing to me.  These long orange lines.  What does it mean?

Plenty of time. We might really win 18-17 after all. We have the MO.

BAD CALL ON REFS!

im disgusted...!!

Nowhere near the line of scrimmage.

Swift missed the catch.

Keller had too much protection.

another incompetent return by Cosby. He catches the ball and does NOTHING for at least a second.

If Charles didn't have fumblitis, he should be returning punts.

I'll take it!

A glimpse of hope, then McCoy takes an unnecessary shot and it leads to another turnover...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD see Chiles have one good chance to run this offense?

O-line killing us

we need some big Charles yardage NOW

Put Chiles in and just run the damn thing. No way they're stopping it. Save Colt from further beating.

Georgia just scored again. It's going to be 42-30.

a 4th and 7 with 2 minutes left.

86 YARDS CHARLES!

Attakid JC. Well-deserved, young man.

Lay 'em down and smack 'em jack 'em.

Why do this with McCoy. If you're going to run that play, USE CHILES!

lights"

I threw my voice out on the JC TD. GO HORNS!!!!

I really feel for you. We have no business winning this game.

Texas lacks a tall receiver target due to the fact that limas is out for the season...but how about utilizing finley as a marques colston type of a player??? or even  antonio gates?

UT secondary at it again. We can't stop Swift!

How many times do we need to see that?

could cost us this game...

they are going to beat South Florida and remain in 1st place in the Big East

We got the TO!

Thank you.

MY boy, my beautiful boy!!! Way to go FRANK!!

and looks what happens.

ya.... jamaal charles is not the right back for texas.... hes just got overe 220 yards and 2 tds... you guys are dumb

run run run run, yet no Chiles...

Florida has three losses

Finley = 1st down machine.

I just wonder why he can't use him more often.

I really like that play where Jermichael falls down.

NU has no answer for Charles!

Game ball for JC... Man what a second half.

Nothing, nothing, nothing... John Chiles enters the game, zone read returns, rushing against Nebraska opens up - ball game.

Dagger!!!!

It's just that Nebraska is that bad.  No offense to the Children of the Corn.

Why? Stupid decision. Why give them the ball at the 40 like that?

I have never seen that many face-painters.  EVAR.

Longhorn by choice, Nittany Lion by birth.

If you picked Florida to beat Georgia, Pick em is giving you the points. I guess you get docked if you picked Georgia. Looks like they simply got the score reversed

I hate this delay... Especially when my ABC is now showing CSI!

We'll need to recover another on-side kick to win the game.

good thing Texas got to work on their 2-minute defensive onside kick coverage this year

Foster burned twice in a row. 28-25 and this game is not over yet.

The miss FG and inability to convert 2pt conversions could kills us

Good job Foster.

About that totally unnecessary 2pt attempt at 21-17?  Mack needs a math major with him on the sidelines at all times.

DON'T FUMBLE!

within a minute. O-line doing everything it can to kill us.

Why didn't we just kneel at the end?

I mean, what if they somehow pop the ball out of Oggy's hands and they run to the house?

this team only scored 3 points for about 40 minutes.

and feel like I actually care about it.

i wasnt directing that towards you pb, i havent read anything this week and i was basing it off what i read last week, by the way i was way out of line calling you a dumbass last week and im sorry, i was a little enebriated.

ps 290 on 33 carries with 3 tds, unstoppable

The kid who deserves the game ball and Okam too for that strip and recovery.  It was nice to see JC and Ken Rucker on the sideline just now...  JC giving him a hug.  It's been quite a year for both of them.  Maybe this was cathartic for JC?  You just never know.

I was proud of our guys today.  Just terrific effort and pride to not give up and keep coming back, particularly as they were outumbered on the field all game long.  The number of non calls against Nebraska even got the attention of the broadcasting crew.  I'll give them (reluctantly) the two late hits on Colt, as those were judgement calls.  An unbiased crew would have called at least one of them, though.  The holding on Finley on the 2 point try was blatant, as was the illegal block in the back on the kickoff.
I hope Deloss is on the phone to the supervisor of Big 12 officials, letting him know that if we ever see any of these clowns again at a Texas game, it will be the Big Eleven the next day.  
These officials should consider a move to the NBA.

Only kidding dude
