Texas 38 Colorado 14 Postgame Celebration Thread

by PB @ BON on Oct 4, 2008 9:43 PM CDT in Football

The Longhorns and Sooners both move to 5-0, setting up another epic RRS.

Postgame React will run tomorrow; I'm crawling onto the couch to watch the rest of the evening's football.

Congrats to Will Muschamp, the Texas defense, Chris Ogbonnaya, and all the Longhorns for another impressive victory. What a beautiful start to the year.

What has been the record for game post?

I think that was the most this year…And that was the first half

Shattered previous records

From the MBTF notes:

Texas has scored 236 points over its first five games, the most for Texas since 1915 (281).

The Texas defense has held its opponent to 14 points or less in the first five games of a season for the first time since 1991.

With 11 receptions, Colt McCoy and Quan Cosby have tied the UT record for completions between a QB and a WR with 131, matching the number between Chris Simms and Roy Williams (2000-02). McCoy and Cosby passed Major Applewhite and Kwame Cavil’s 124 completions (1998-99).

All hail the WR screen baby!

Which must have accounted for at least 40% of Quan’s receptions.

Ogbonnaya

Fluke game or do you think he’ll have a significant impact on the OU game and the future games?

I’m thinking out RB depth chart should be something like

Oggy | Johnson | Fozzy/McGee

While I'm on a celebration thread

I’d like to celebrate that the Chicago Cubs are once again losing to the Dodgers.

this was a hard game to get a handle on

I think some of the Longhorns were already looking ahead; seemed like the OL got outplayed an awful lot. I’d criticize the play-calling, but with an early lead and a dominant defense, the plays may have been designed to find out things about players and show OU certain things.

I know if I was the Sooners, I’d double cover Shipley and Cosby most of the time and dare McCoy to find somebody else, or to run and take chances with his health. I’d pray GD used the RBs a lot. And I’d keep a FB in the backfield to block, confident Bradford and the receivers will beat the Texas DBs if there’s time to pass.

Accurate in...

….all regards, edsp. I especially agree with your prognostication regarding Stoops’ defensive plan.

If Colorado wasn’t missing 6 O-Linemen, 3 of them starters, this definitely would have been a different game. They had opportunities in the first half, yet couldn’t get the blocking to move the ball. Then they couldn’t even make the FGs.

Our O-Line allowing 4 sacks is worrisome.

Was there ever an explanation for that wierd play...

When Josh Smith just decided he didnt want to kneel the ball?

The thing i don’t understand is what made him think he could do that?

I thought he came out and from what i understand its like the opposite of when you score a touchdown, if any part of the ball crosses the plain then he is out of the Endzone and that would be a safety, and i thought it was

Lost of weird plays tonight

Replay seemed to indicate

the player did not come out of the end zone. At least that’s how the officials saw it.

As for his move forward, announcers said — and I saw it this way too — the player acted as though he thought the whistle had blown and was just ambling forward.

Yes, lotta odd plays. Some games are like that. It’s one of the intrigues of football.

dude was trying to play cat and mouse

or possum or whichever animal comparison you want to use. Pretty sure Devon Hester did this a week or so ago where the coverage team let up once they saw he wasnt going to return it. Then Hester exploded out of the endzone trying to catch the coverage team off guard.

Fortunately our guys played to the whistle.

by the other Andrew on Oct 5, 2008 8:57 AM CDT up 0 recs

I seriously doubt he planned that at all.

Hester didnt premeditate it either, he saw that the coverage team was giving up already, and took his shot.

Dude screwed up, plain and simple.

by BoddickerIsClutch on Oct 5, 2008 9:34 AM CDT up 0 recs

But hasn't Hester done this multiple times?

by Kool Hand on Oct 5, 2008 10:45 AM CDT up 0 recs

Yes

What I mean is though, he reads the D. If they start to walk off like its over, he will bring it out to get the jump on him. This is not what Smith was doing at all, since he got his ass beat because he wasnt watching the D.

If he was paying attention at all to Williams, he would have taken a knee, whether he thought he heard a whistle or not.

by BoddickerIsClutch on Oct 5, 2008 1:22 PM CDT up 0 recs

Then entire ball has to be outside the plane of the endzone for it to be not a touchback.

Which makes sense if you think about it. To get a TD, the tip of the ball only has to cross the plane, so going out, the entire ball would have to have cleard the plane.

by HookedinOKC on Oct 5, 2008 12:14 AM CDT up 0 recs

Thanks

Wasn’t completely sure about that situation, if that is the case then he clearly hadn’t come out of the End zone.

There were 2 plays back to back that i had never seen before (Chris O pass)

RE Smith Return

I think Smith though he heard the whistle.

If the ball came completely out of the end zone it would still not have been a safety. Because his forward progress was stopped when he got hit, the ball would have been placed on the one inch line.

Don't Believe It

Anytime you hear “just the tip” it is definitely a lie.

Objectively-speaking...

…this poll says Texas is ranked #36

by DawgPound on Oct 5, 2008 3:39 PM CDT 0 recs

There is this little problem

According to poll definition:

Demerits
All teams begin the season with 1 demerit. When a team loses, its demerits are increased by the number of demerits its opponent had on game day. The winning team’s total demerits does not change.

Texas has not lost. Therefore, it’s demerits should not increase, nor should its base value of 1 change. The only other variable, the fractional number expressed in percentage points, is the strength of schedule.

So, Texas should have 1.60, not 3.60 (and should be 13th).

So, if the guy can’t get his fricking poll straight with the given evidence under his own definitions, he’s obvious an aglet of the lost persuasion. Demerits. How arcane.

He can’t even keep up the real world where the Horns are 5-0 so I have little confidence his imaginary one.
