Um, this is not going well. 24-14 KSU, McCoy out of the game, and we're getting outcoached and outplayed in embarrassing fashion.
We'll need a big turnaround or this is over.

Just need to
take a deep breath and make some halftime adjustments. Only being down 10 and getting the ball we can run our normal O (or as normal as it gets with Chiles) and get back in it. No more 85 yard returns, pick 6's etc and we'll be ok.
Let Vince do the halftime peptalk!

i am incrediby embarassed
watching this team play. The coaches should be ashamed of themselves. This is an absolute travesty. Since when did we have to start worrying about beatin KState at home? Tough times ahead boys. I also say that Chiles wins this game and the starting spot is his. This is a cruel world and McCoy has not been impressive this year. At least GD can now run the zone read.

like PB said
time to change shirts. worked when we trailed tcu by 10 at the half ...
by NYCHorn on Sep 29, 2007 4:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
A coach would say this:
KSU has played well, minimized their mistakes and penalties and have played within themselves. They have played to nearly as good as they can.
Texas played well on the opening series and except for Quan's catch, haven't played offense or defense well since then.
Texas can play much, much better.
And, yeah, they were going after McCoy. So would we in that situation. Colt was vulnerable and they got him.
It's not just Chiles who must step up, it's the whole team. Everyone, all the time. Attack, attack, attack.

10 points off turnovers
and a special teams TD.
captain obvious says, we need to eliminate the turnovers, go back to the defense we were playing between the 1st and last KSU series, and we should be able to put up enough points to win. keep digging the hole deeper, and we're in trouble.

only down by 10
Texas has become a 2nd half team this whole season. I'm sure they will turn it around after the half. VY is there and will give them a nice pep talk. Colt just looks a little shook up. If colt doesn't come back I hope Chiles can throw.

The first drive of the 2nd half is critical to Chiles and this team having a real chance to win though.

we'll get the ball to start the half, and with a score of any type, we cut the lead to a one score game.
and as long as everybody is changing their t-shirts, the tide should definitely be in our favor. keep your heads up. We're Texas.

We just need to come out and eliminate the pick 6 stuff and special teams touchdowns, and we're fine. K-State's offense has not looked that awesome we can win this game we just need to get it on... with spurs baby.

Oh well,
If we can hold them to another FG, we can still take the lead with a TD.
I did like the backwards pass to Chiles though. That brings a new dimension. Note how wide open Oggy was. Next time, we could fake that throw and Colt could run or pass to an open receiver.

Outcoached
is the big one. All this talk about how were gonna have this "swarming" defense and our offense is gonna throw it up and down the field. Well, how do you expect to throw it up and down the field when we call 80 5 yard out plays a game and Colt cant throw the ball high enough to get it over the D-line. Horrible coaching both on Mack and GD for not calling more rollouts and getting Colt outside the pocket so he can throw without traffic.

They always give 110%. And just because they appear listless, unfocused and out-everything'ed on gameday, they gave it their best shot. In the end, that'll keep me around 10-11 wins each season.
Maybe some aspects of today's gameplan didn't work, like the the kick return coverage, the punt return coverage, the offensive schemes, the personnel decisions, and overall unity of play, but we're on the right track. And besides, how many teams can say they're 4-0?...better make that 4-1.

All the serious issues discussed here
since the start of the season came real today.
We weren't blowing hot air. What we were seeing, unfortunately, was fairly accurate and correct.
It will take this team several games to redirect itself if, indeed, real and meaningful change takes place.
Colt is a placeholder for this offense. Has been, although I've been reluctant to say it here for obvious reasons. He's a great kid but the offense is geared for a different speed and kind of QB.
The offense line is the source of many problems dealing with time to pass and opening holes. The line will get better, but depth is a serious problem.
And the D, well, we've chewed that bone down to the marrow.
The question is how long does it take for this loss to heal, for the "new" team to find itself, for the fans to regain interest. Coming off the MNC, this is a down, down day. Way down.

Don't want to throw McCoy under the bus but....
If he isn't healthy enough to play, then he needs to take himself out of the damn game.
Period.
He is hurting the team more than he is helping. He looks like complete crap. Now, I know the O-line is just plain awful but I am referring to the plays that he actually has time to throw. He looks like dog crap.
by Top Jimmy on Sep 29, 2007 5:53 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

by Kool Hand on Sep 29, 2007 6:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, if it's not his health....
than Colt has some real issues. Today, telegraphing his passes just touches the surface. He also had issues with accuracy, threw the ball into his offensive linemens' helmets, underthrew open receivers, overthrew open receivers, made some extremely poor decisions (i.e. threw for 4 interceptions) etc.
Not a good day for Colt to say the least.

This sucks..
but I think you're lying to yourself if you can say you didn't see it coming. This team has been B-A-D all year, except for the Rice game.
You guys talk a lot about wins and losses, but the reason I (and several other people) bitched during that four-game win streak was that we could see aching, glaring problems with this team.
This is the first time I've ever felt our team was overrated in regard to its ranking. I wish I could point my finger at one part of the team and blame it, but truthfully, we've had problems from top to bottom all year (or since last year).
Sure it's possible for us to get to a BCS game, but that's an uphill battle at this point. I think we need to refocus and concentrate on beating our rivals. It's the best thing we can get out of this season.

Taking things for granted.
The nature of our agreement in this world implies that we gloss over so many of the details around us. And then life slaps us up side the head and knocks off the blinders we'd been wearing by choice.
It happens to us all, on the street, in relationships, on teams, things just slip up and knock the shit out of us and we go "what the hell was that." But those threats were always there; we just didn't concentrate on that particular part of our world.
Sure, this hurts. For you younger fans, it can really spill your guts. Being older I've seen a lot of nasty stupid losses that make you wanna beat your head against the wall and go what the f*ck were they thinking?
But these things happen ever so often and good things can come from it. You won't feel that tonight or tomorrow, but you will at some point in the future. Keep your head high. We're still Texas and we will be Texas tomorrow and the days afterward. And next time we'll take this revenge business a little more seriously.

The loss hurts a lot, especially in light of the OU loss, but they are still MY team. I will continue to watch... one good thing I can say about today is the defense was not the cause of our problems. 3 plays did it... and two of them were special teams returns for touchdowns, and one is an interception for a TD. That is insane. Without those three plays Texas wins by 1.
K-State beat us yes, but after watching last year's game and now this one, it's like we could not get a break to break our way. Colt McCoy is not having a good stretch, but he is not Chance Mock. I remember Chance Mock well... there is no comparison.

Here's your details
We LOST. Is that enough to warrant criticism? I think so. If not for you how about the fact that we continue to run the same pathetic offense that even a second year head coach and his staff can figure out how to stop. If that's not enough how about the fact that we've been pushed around all year. If that's not enough how about lining up Colt at receiver with Chiles at QB? Is that really scaring anyone? Not me if I'm the d-coordinator on the other side of the field. Granted...we have talent issues (or a lack thereof)in some spots, but we're consistently flat, playing down to our competition and absolutely vanilla on offense. I'm not calling for Greg Davis' head, but at some point he HAS to be smart enough to realize what he's doing isn't working and try something else (and Mack too for that matter). I didn't see any of that today even when they were down.

Whoa...
Me wondering if Colt is closer to Chance Mock than Major Applewhite doesn't make me a fair-weather fan. I think it is totally reasonable to wonder WTF is going on with him. Let's face it, he hasn't been the same player since K St. last year. He has shown flashes this year but has been very inconsistent. I don't think that's a pessimistic comment.
I'm not jumping ship on this program. I've sat through games much worse than this (I was in school for the McWilliams era). I'm pissed and disappointed, but I'm not going anywhere.

Fire Greg Davis...
If you don't see the evidence around you, then you aren't looking. Vince won the national championship INSPITE of gd, not because of him. GD has never been more than an average coach, and I've been saying this since about 2000. He does not deserve the keys to the Ferrari. He has done NOTHING that a simply competent coach could not have accomplished. Period. And he is getting paid far and above what a competent coach gets paid in this league.
We should have picked up Chris Peterson when we had the chance.

Right on
I agree.
Constructive criticism: The team does not look good. Colt has not been the same since before the K-State game...LAST YEAR. Not sure what to do with McCoy. I know he makes some great plays but 4 interceptions against an average team is just unacceptable. He just doesn't look good.
I think it's time to let Chiles play a bit more. I have never been one for quarterback controversies and QB's splitting time but I really think that Chiles should be splitting time with McCoy.
Just my thoughts.

Sorry about that Longhorns
... and with that loss, I think my entry this week is better labeled College Don't Pick'em. Oy.

Greg Davis is a Dinosaur....
that needs to be drugg out behind the barn and shot. Either that or someone needs to give that old man some weed for his cataracts and for a damn imagination for play calling. Running the same shit, halfback shotgun snap draws up the middle makes me wanna puke. It may have worked with Vince, but for God's Sakes- its time to move on.
Hate to say it- but its time to look to the future. We can start building now instead of continuing the same crap that is simply not working. Time to let Chiles play I say. And more importantly, time to cut your losses with J. Charles. And most importantly, time to get some coaches on staff that light a fire under their players' asses and use logi
