Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Open GameDay Thread: #6 Texas at Central Florida


Game 3: #6 Texas at Central Florida

#6 Texas Longhorns (2-0) vs Central Florida Knights (1-0)

Saturday, September 15, 2007 · 2:30 p.m. CT

Bright House Networks Stadium (45,301) · Orlando, FL

Television: ESPN2

Radio: 98.1 FM / 1300 AM (Austin)

Mechanical trouble with their plane and buses prevented the team from getting to work out in the stadium early, so this really will be a first look for Texas. The game marks Texas' first road test of the season against an experienced Central Florida team.

I'm anxious, but excited. Let's get after it...

UCF Enrollment

During Craig Way's pregame summary of UCF, he mentioned that the school's population surpassed 48,000.  Nothing to do with football, but interesting, and sort of shocking.

it is shocking

They can support all those universities? I didn't think that many graduated from high school in Florida.

They have to be people coming down from New York.

I think we're overrating this year's team

National Champion caliber teams don't let drives like that happen.

by chief on Sep 15, 2007 3:02 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Maybe so but...

Chief,

You gotta just take it one game at a time when you consider how bad we've looked in the first two weeks.  Personally, I never mention National Championship teams until after we play OU.

I think that the team that showed up in the second half against what I thought was a good TCU squad was a NC caliber group....

...but obviously if the first quarter of this game is any indication we're in for a long day.  Break out the Pepto-Bismol.

by DreadedOne on Sep 15, 2007 3:09 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I should have qualified that statement more

That drive made me comment on it, but I'm taking into account the past two games as well.  I just see too many problems for us to run the table this year.  A lot of people that I've talked to (and quite a few here at BON) just kind of shrug off the glaring problems the team has.  

Personally, I'm not the kind of person who can shrug those things off and say "We'll be fine".  I'm a Texas fan.  I expect to win, and falling short of a Big 12 championship (and subsequently a NC) is a disappointment for me.  I'm also a realist, and I know that if we struggle against ho-hum teams, OU is probably going to run all over us, not to mention A&M in College Station.  

A lot of people say 10 win seasons are a success.  Sure they are, compared to Baylor, but we're a premier college football program.  We should be better than this, and I can't figure out who to blame.  It's just frustrating.

Vince Young wins football games.

Hey BrooklynHorn

any idea where to watch this thing in Brooklyn? Williamsburg, even?

by longtitan on Sep 15, 2007 3:06 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Can't think of any place that will have the game

but most sports bars in brooklyn will turn to whatever game you want.  This is on ESPN2 so they should all have it, and there's no competition, as there are no other major sporting events right now, and Brooklynites don't care about college football.

Try Iona (they usually show soccer, but those games are over now), its on Grand near Bedford, and there's another sports bar on Bedford near N. 9th or so (I forget the name).  Or you could try the Turkey's Nest (Bedford and N 12th?) Any of those might turn their channel for you.

UCF realized there's no point running. Ever.

They can look like Texas Tech if they just pass the whole time. This could get UGLY in a hurry if the secondary doesn't make some plays.

Haven't you heard? Killer DBs.

You'd think they'd assessed the match-ups by the first quarter and know where we should have the advantage, which considering our receivers, should be a pick 'em. Do they work that angle? Except for the TD pass on the obvious slant, no.

They won't or don't want to stretch the field long. Long one of the flaws of this offense and there's no good reason for it. To me it means that don't believe in the deep ability of the passer or the receivers or both. Inexplicable.

Why can't we throw a pass farther than 6 yards?

We tried one deep route and Limas was 5  yards ahead of the DB's.

totally agree

we need to start throwing the ball down the field....especially with our speed!

do you think the offense is not showing all their cards with the bigger games on the horizon?  With all the talent we have we should be all over the field making big plays!  We look far more conservative than I expected this year.

Remember Pittman's Wheel Route against OU?

It was VY's last year, right before the half, and it was the dagger in OU's heart.  I'd love to see that play again.

Over the modern decade

probably the play with the most touchdowns per attempts. True for high school through the pros.

Cracked the code: 5 receivers = 5 yard pass

Even though Colt has the time to go deeper.

5 yard passes

thats way to far downfield for McGee...

Nice play call

DB really jumped the previous route. Davis calls the double move on the same corner the very next play.

now 3 shots for the endzone before the half.

One shot to end zone needs to be to Sweed.  Let him create something.

by JohnsonUT on Sep 15, 2007 4:28 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

WHY!

I hate this shit!

3 chances for the endzone and we throw 2 5 yard outs.

Ridiculous.  Teams like OU and USC go straight for the endzone.  Thats what seperates us the most right now from those teams.

by kirk1005 on Sep 15, 2007 4:28 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Exactly. It's like they don't trust playmakers

to make plays. Yet, when called on, they do. You gotta make the call. Sweed and Finley should be killers in the EZ and obviously Nate and the rest can make plays. Inexplicable.

you can get pushed out and still make the catch in college.

If call is reversed

Then does that mean we can re-accept the PI penalty?

Yeah, but there's no time

if Colt hadn't completed that previous pass, we'd be in business even if the call were reversed.

this could turn out like the A&M game last week.  Eight looks at it before its changed and then changed again and changed again.

Key Stat: 4.9 Yards per Pass play

Texas desperately needs to open it up through the air.

BTW:  3.7 Yards per run, and that is skewed by Jamaal's 27 yarder in the first.

Hopefully these early tough games will help us

OU has a cupcake schedule until the RRS, so maybe when the Horns punch them in the mouth, they won't be used to overcoming adversity like us.
