Open Game Day Thread: #10 Texas at UTEP

He needs to make 1st quarter adjustments. Didn’t Mack say they might have to make 1st quarter adjustments for the offense depending on what they see in coverage and blitzing? Seems like the defense needs to do the same. Problem is they’re getting burned at both the run and pass.

Defense needs to shut these guys down. Colt needs 2 more TD’s and get Chiles and Harris some playing time.

35-19 Tech

Looks like they’re going to cover the spread. Yay me!

I just don't get the defensive effort tonight.

We’re just going through the motions. And Earl Thomas has got a lot to learn.

I'll never forget ol' what's-his-name.

SACKS

will be hard to come by in the Big 12. The big 12 throws short passes from the shotgun which gives the defense little chance of sacking the QB. UTEP is doing the same thing. Miller breaks through every play, but the pass plays are too quick.

Devon Kenard @ Game

I’m curious what kind of an impression this game is making on him. Maybe he’ll think he can come in and get some pt right away…

Yup

Rak and Melton are done after this year leaving Eddie Jones and Sam Acho. Hope he comes to UT.

Anyone know what’s the latest word on McFarland? If we can only pick up one more, I’d rather get a good DT.

All in all, not that bad, though. 13pts., but only one touchdown, which is decent. I don’t think they’re playing like garbage overall on defense, but I do understand the concern about their pulling up before the end of the half.

Absolutely no reason to leave the pocket

Davis must go!

I am not one for pouring it on a team, but this game is still semi close. Why does it seem when the Horns get what seems to be a comfortable lead, Davis goes and starts making extremely conservative plays, it is driving me insane. Thank god for some excellent D in the second half. This Longhorns second half offense is what makes me wonder if they are a team that can contend for a Big 12 championship, or if they are going to go 8-4. Finally a touchdown in the second half!

If you have a DVR

go back to 12:05 eastern time. They showed a buch of people hanging out on the rock watching the game and then they ciricled a couple. The guy was getting a hand job. I have gone back and even called my wife and a friend of ours into the room. It is a live teleprompter circled hand job.

If it were up to me, I'd blitz on offense too.
