Open GameDay Thread: Oklahoma at Texas
This game means more than any other we'll play this season. Not only is it likely to define what happens from here on out - it's also Oklahoma.
And I hate Oklahoma. HATE.
And so do you.
This game flames the passions of Longhorn fans more than any other and we're all gonna be extremely fired up - win or lose. So, ground rules for today:
- If you want to be critical, you'd better find a reasonable way to do it. Excessive personal attacks on player or coaches aren't called for and will be moderated. Sorry, but we're not gonna allow this community to devolve into anarchy. Make your point without excessively bashing players or coaches as people.
- Treat each other with respect. If you don't like someone's point, feel free to respond. Just don't do so with a personal attack. Fans of this team come in a lot of flavors - if someone's point pisses you off, make a counter-point. Ad hominem attacks will be moderated.
- Keep the perspective. Win or lose, both the team and fans alike will have to get up tomorrow morning and look toward the rest of the season. Don't embarrass yourself today.
And with that, have fun. And root like hell for Texas.
For those of you who are offended by strong language... well, I apologize in advance for the picture after the jump. It's OU Hate Week, baby.
Hook 'Em Horns! BEAT OU!

We killing the run but giving up the pass

I'll forgive him...
because he doesn't have a TV in front of him (I don't think). Anyone watching the replay could see that the ref was 4 feet away from the defender blowing his head off on his whistle. There is ZERO excuse for that, and it should have been an automatic ejection. The fact that it wasn't should mean this crew is fired the moment they walk off the field.
I'm more pissed that the guys in the booth didn't point out this obvious fact. They pushed back at Maguire, but not enough.

First Quarter On the Fly
Offense:
O Line: B-. Decent run blocking and fair protection on passing downs.
Running game: B. Penalties are putting us in the hole here. I think Charles can break a big one.
Passing: D. Where are the receivers? Colt's reads are miserable. He doesn't match up to Bradford.
Coaching: B+. I like the play selection.
Defense:
D Line: B+. There're doing all you can ask.
Linebackers: A-. Best part of the game so far; they are stuffing runs. Nice showing by Norton, Muckleroy, and even Bobino before his ankle got him.
Secondary: C-. After some early hope, they just don't have the size and speed to match up with OU receivers in the schemes they're being given. Safety help is marginal; is Jackson on the field?
Coaching: C. Need some creative blitzes, even on 1st down.
Special teams: A. Great punting and punt coverage.
Still have hope.

It would be nice if we had timeouts right now..
Might be able to get a field goal shot if we hold here.. but we pissed away all three timeouts...

Only because we didn't want to give up a big pass
with 2 minutes left in the game and a long field.

That had to be the worst call
since the 1st qtr hit on Colt.

Huh?
Not that it matters, but if that was the ruling we were just really close to completely losing the momentum.

Special Teams Strikes Again
I think I remember us bringing in a coach from the San Francisco 49ers, who was supposedly a great special teams mind... what was his name?

NO shit
McCoy gets flattened 4 feet from a ref blowing a whistle, NO Flag. The kicker flops after barley being touch draws a flag. That was the same ref.

Some dubious decisions by officials
- Late hit on McCoy (lack of call makes it clear this isn't NFL). A questionable late hit on Bradford by E.Jones WAS called to extend a drive for OU.
- Several holds HAVE been called against OU, but a lot more have been overlooked.
- Running in to the kicker at the end of the half. UT player barely brushed kicker...followed by a beautiful flop.

We've had five hot games
so we should be acclimated as much as we can be. The humidity looks horrible. It's the O line I'm concerned about, but they played a ton down in Florida where there were comparable heat and humidity. I think we can make it to the fourth quarter OK.
Tough for both teams, but if football has been anything through its history, it is an endurance contest. That's the factor that separates the men from the boys in the long run.

Game on the fly - halftime
Offense:
O Line: B+. Great 2nd quarter; Colt had time and they weren't the problem with the running game.
Running: C. I still think Charles has a chance to break one. Went vanilla in the 2nd quarter, but with passing success, that was OK. Slip in Chiles some more!
Passing: A. Colt woke up, but great play calls helped. If OU's safeties and LB's adjust to the middle in the second half, our WR's might have some success on intermediate routes.
Coaching: A-. Nice scheme. Let's see some run creativity.
Defense:
D Line: A-. Doing all you could ask. Great pressure from the young DE's, and there is no running up the middle.
Linebackers: C+. Echo the comments on Derry; get him out of there. They are our weak link today.
Secondary: B. Better 2nd quarter. Come of the pressure on Bradford is coming from coverage, I think.
Coaching: B. Schemes a little better, but will they out coach Stoops and Heipel in the 2nd half?
Special teams: B. Punt coverage excellent, but kickoffs make me verrrrry nervous.
Officiating: FFF. Where did these idiots come from?
Competetive 1st half. The longer we lead or stay close, the more the pressure is on OU. The Horns season could turn on this half.

Statement time.
A score on the half's opening drive? Sounds good to me.

Hang on to the ball. Put in McGee if Charles can't protect it. It cost us seven.
