Open Game Day Thread: Kansas State at Texas


Game 5: Kansas State at #7 Texas

Kansas State Wildcats (3-1) at Texas Longhorns (4-0)

Saturday, September 29, 2007 · 2:30 p.m. CT

Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (85,123) · Austin, TX

Television: ABC

Radio: 98.1 FM / 1300 AM (Austin)

The Longhorns return to the field this Saturday after a 4-0 non-conference slate. They weren't all the prettiest wins, but wins they were. More importantly, Texas looked like it made progress in its last win over Rice. That's the hope, anyway.

Let's  quickly run down the big things to watch for today:

1. Linebacker rotation: Unfortunately, Kindle's out, but we need Muckelroy and Norton to play early and often. The coaches have danced around the question of how much they'll be used, but we need it to be generous. Both players make our defense dramatically better.

2. Chiles/McGee: I don't think there's any question that both will play, but it remains to be seen in what capacity. I know the coaches don't want to overwhelm Chiles, but there's only one way to find out if he can be a contributor for this team during conference play. As for McGee? He just needs to be used. Give him 10 legitimate touches today.

3. Make KSU work. The Wildcats sputter on offense without the aid of big plays. They'll be taking their shots deep, so we'll need our safeties taking care of business with pass coverage. That, of course, gets back to point #1. If the safeties are busy making up for lousy linebacking play, the coverage will suffer.

The question is how many TDs

do we want to give up with these bad-tacklin LBs and the corners 10 yds off?

Just as f**king stupid as I've seen. This is what we're giving them, gifts across the board.

Our D is giving up the 5-7 yard play

with the corners pulled back. If Freeman can hit the short quick pass, it has been there with the defense we're running. KSU drive: 11 plays-80 yards.

Bring up the corners, cut off the short routes and make them earn it. And, yes, new LBs, whose bad tacklin' added even more yardage.

by whills on Sep 29, 2007 3:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I am starting to realize....

the running backs aren't the issue in the red zone.  The offensive line just can't seem to get a push.  The RB's are getting hit in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage.  This O-line needs to step it up.

by Top Jimmy on Sep 29, 2007 3:02 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

agreed

even with Lokey at fullback.

by littlevisigoth on Sep 29, 2007 3:04 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

You're right; no push at all.

Even with extra blocking with TE, fullback, nada.

Out score them

Looks like we are in for a barn-burner. We got the Akina desert draught defense! Useless blitzes that never get to the quarterback and he dumps it in the 15 yard empty zone. DUH.......

Why should K-State EVER run the ball?

Trick play doesn't work this time, yet he still gains a couple yds due to an inability to tackle.

John Chiles time?

With Colt injured, we may be relying on a true frosh QB to win us this game.  Nervous?

no chance

if we can't play some friggin' defense.

stop worrying about the QB and get your head in the game.

The D is getting sliced and diced again.

Things are slipping away as far as intensity and concentration are concerned.

No TD please

I'll be happy if they only get a FG.

Can we all agree on this?

If Colt is done, PLEASE do not blame his injury if we lose. NO EXCUSES! If KSU wins, it's because they're the better team.

Glad that KSU only got the FG.

If Chiles has a competent arm at all, we can still win this for sure. Hopefully VY gets to talk to him at halftime.

No

We can't agree. We can agree to disagree. We're Texas, have you seen how many times we've been down in the first half and come back and won? If we have a QB that's gotten a dozen snaps in his college career at the helm it could have an affect on the game's outcome. So, we could very well lose due to his injury.

Even though

that Colt is the reason why we're losing in the 1st half?

Can we all agree on this...

Football is a 4 qtr game.

I will be pulling for them thick or thin.

Any day is good when OU loses!

Will Stoops blame the refs again for overturning a first down call late in the game?

It will be a hellofa day if both Texas & OU lose
I'd rather you just say thank you and walk on by...

not really ...

It's a regional game. GameDay on the other hand might be pissed

Running Play?!

Just go f'ing deep once and see what happens. Being that Chiles never throws. We're not going to win running it with Chiles as long as Davis is at the helm.

Chill

Chill the fuck out man.  Its a little early to abandon ship.

17 KSU points

came from 2 INTs, and a kickoff return.

We're just shooting ourselves in the foot, and Colt/GD/whoever is to blame obviously.

by goingforthecorner on Sep 29, 2007 4:12 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

what's the deal

with the KSU team gathering at midfield and running off arm in arm.  seem a little disrespectful?  or at least weird?

NEW OPEN THREAD

Move on over to the new thread, guys.

I'm changing shirts. Feel free to do the same.

Idea!

Put Vince in a #7 jersey and pass him off as Chiles.  We win by 30 points.

by Loisaida Horn on Sep 29, 2007 4:13 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

You've got to remember

KSU had 2 weeks to prepare for us. They were well rested and it shows.

Now fatigue will set in. In the 2nd half, I see us making at least a couple of turnover forcing plays on defense.

With Chiles + zone read offense, I see a great offense in the 2nd. No need to worry. MAN-CHILES IS HERE

by goingforthecorner on Sep 29, 2007 4:14 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Kiss it goodbye

Either an injured McCoy or the runner Chiles, we are doomed. We know that a running game alone will not do the trick. They will dominate us in the second half. I would like to send that loser Akina to Kansas St. and bring their defensive coordinator to Texas. He knows what he is doing with the blitz package. Our guys are running around with a bunch of wasted motion. A 6th grader can see the holes left in the defense.

Looks like:

K-State 45
Texas   20
