OSU at Texas Second Half Open Thread

Texas_osu_helmets_medium

Texas leads 21-14 at half, but hasn't been particularly sharp. The kickoff team has been a disaster. OSU gets the ball to start the second half.

officially nervous

Muschamp needs to make some adjustments in 2nd half. Not feeling good that we’re dominating Time of Possession and only up 7.

Still, better than being down 35-3

PB was totally right

When he named OSU’s offensive line as MVP a few weeks back . . . Rak has barely been mentioned. I haven’t heard Miller’s name called (course, these announcers managed to get Blake Gideon on OSU). Pass rush mediocre, pressure not consistent, lotta rushing yardage allowed. But biggest deal is field position . . . that’s defense and special teams.

2nd half adjustments

Defense and special teams need to tackle. Schematically, the defense seems to be a little out of position, particularly on OSU’s first and second possession. We were a little lucky to have the fumble. Kickoff…boot it out of the end zone.

OSU is a hard team to be aggressive against.

They victimize and punish you if you fail in your aggression. And they have a couple of ringers in TE and Dez Bryant. And, obviously, they can run. Basically, you got to contain and outscore, the pattern the so far.

The more talented, deep team always has the advantage in the fourth quarter, and I think that benefits Texas today. OSU’s defenders are wearing down a lot faster than UT’s OL, and the Longhorn front seven has been doing a lot of rotation (lots of Lewis, Norton, Jones, etc.) so I expect them to hold up. OSU’s team should be wheezing this quarter.

Who thought we could win scoring only 7 in the second half??

Defense wasn’t dominant in the second but VASTLY better and it was enough to get it done. We’ve been phenomenal in the red zone all year but the two TOs inside the ten were really the reason it wasn’t an 18 point game. Even though the offense struggled we really saw the benefit of Offense as Defense.

I honestly think...

that the mizzou game spoiled all of us (including me). We can’t be expected to boat race everyone. Okie Light is a damn good team, and we struggled against them.

The boys

will be ready for Tech. That’s Colt’s neck of the woods.

WE WON

Thank the fuck. And that is all that matters. The Techies should really fear us. After this close call, we are going to go balls out like there is a nuclear explosion deep inside our minds, and our brains are burning… We got a flamethrower hate, can’t you see?

Hook Tech’s fuckin’ asses!

May Colt be with you. Yeah, that's right.

I am not sure I would fear us after watching the this game on tape...

yes win is a win, but this game took away fear factor out of us

I think the Red Faders

would be remiss if they did not fear us. Again, after this close one I think we could destroy anyone anywhere next time.

May Colt be with you. Yeah, that's right.

lets hope so

I feel like our players are starting to get big headed and expecting a win rather than working for it
i.e. miss tackling, special team coverage, etc

I felt like we havent played dominant D in 6 quarters

I feel like

we will leave a red stain on the field in Lubbock and never look back.

May Colt be with you. Yeah, that's right.

This game wasn’t pretty, but I’ll take any kind of legitimate win over the #6 team in the country, including this one.

Play of the game has to be GD calling

pass to shiply on wheel route on 3 and 9th around 2 min left in the game….God know what wouldve happened if okie lite had more time on the clock…

Play of the game was when the clock hit 0:00

Good teams win ugly

That’s no excuse for bad play. If we repeat this next week we will absolutely lose. However, our defense played poorly most of the way (the run defense especially), the offense had one of its worst halves of the season, Colt had uncharacteristic turnovers, all against A DAMN GOOD TEAM. In spite of that we won. In past years we lose this game.

by the chairman211 on Oct 25, 2008 6:08 PM CDT reply actions  

but I agree with what you are saying

we even had an ugly game against aggs in 2005

To say nothing of the ugly game against Kansas in 2004.

Or the ugly games against Okie State almost EVERY season.

by burntorangehorn on Oct 25, 2008 6:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

We hadnt faced a running team all year

I like our chances against Tech. No lock to win, but I’m confident. And OSU is definately gonna beat Tech.

by owenh on Oct 25, 2008 6:19 PM CDT reply actions  

Hope they beat the dirt thieves and go to a BCS game!

by burntorangehorn on Oct 25, 2008 6:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

Could've/Should've been a blow out

We only had the ball 8 times (exc the last 1min of the first half.
We scored 4
Punted 1
Then gave up INT, Fumble (at 10) and downs (at 1)
that’s 14 or 21 more that we gave away/OSU D stepped up
our D came thru but mainly because the O kept the ball 33+min
