Reasonable Conclusion

The final score was an elaborate plan to Texas Tech tOSU. McCoy and Quan wanted to end the game on a last second touchdown pass.

That’s the only reasonable explanation.

I agree

Quan was amazing!

Definately agree

I was so hoping that Quan would get that award, then I hoped Colt would at least mention Quan.

By the way, I hope we never play Terrelle Pryor again.

That was so hard to watch. I didn’t have enough beer to calm my nerves. Great game though.

One thing, I really don’t think our Oline is that great. Hopefully the off season will allow for a lot of growth, but I really think the reason McCoy was the leading rusher is because he had to be so that he didn’t get sacked. He was hit very often this season.

Great year for the Horns. Exceeded my wildest expectations. I was expecting another 10-3 season.

Agreed.

While it was fun rooting for Cody, Fozzy, Vondrell and Chris every game hoping that one would step up, we must develop a feature back (or a solid #1 and 1a tag team) next year to have a legitimate chance at the MNC. Colt throwing the ball over 50 times (or 40 for that matter) is not a recipe for success in the long run.

I'm so glad

that they scored with over 2 minutes left. Once it got under 3 minutes and they were driving I was screaming for them to let them score and save ourselves at least 2 minutes. People looked at me like I was crazy, until about 3 minutes later.

I don’t think we actually “let” them score, but I’m glad they scored when they did.

I only remember

seeing one throw to Malcolm Williams (and he would have had a TD if thrown inside), what’s up with that?

by tdwalsh on Jan 5, 2009 11:20 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

this is really a question you could have asked the entire second half of the seasons. but it was all the more curious today given this struggles of the short passing game. malcolm jenkins is very good but i felt we gave him too much respect, as if his presence ruled out any deep throws. williams burned him, and they lost two DBs to injury, why not go fishing against the backups.

by the chairman211 on Jan 5, 2009 11:31 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

No need

Obviously Malcolm is an immensely talented WR, but with Quan playing at the level he was last night finding open space throughout the game, there really wasn’t any need.

Like you said, if he throws a better ball on the deep route, we score 6. I still think Malcolm will be a BIG TIME player on next year’s squad. So will Brandon Collins.

Seated near me were the one cute girl in the bar (a Texas fan, of course) and two Michigan fans (who, we agreed, share a strange bond with Texas fans). I would have loved to blow this team out. But this win was delicious.

Great game, Horns. Hook ’em!

Final Ranking?

Yikes, is it possible the Horns will drop in the poll after win? The media loves the 1-loss Trojans and the undefeated Utah. My prediction

  1. - Obviously the winner of the NC game
  2. - USC, they beat the Big Ten Champ, Texas squeaked by the 2nd Big Ten team
  3. - Texas, nice win.
  4. - Florida (if they lose), Oklahoma will drop to #5 to #7

Gotta love it...

Texas keeps winning in the final weeks of the season and continues to drop the in the polls. At this point I think we can say f*** the polls. OU can have all of the Heismans and BCS/Bowl losses they want, I wouldn’t trade places with them for anything in the world. I don’t care if we finish @ #2 or #5. This team didn’t have the talent of the 2005 team, but finished @ 12-1 because of their overwhelming will to win. The 2005 team had a few situations where one missed play (like the Kansas road game) would have cost the chance at a national championship…the 2008 team just happened to get nipped by one play in Lubbock. There’s a lot of luck involved in winning it all and this team did everything it had to do to finish on top. In my mind, they will always be on top. Congratulations to a great team and a great program. With Muschamp and Applewhite involved and Gilbert coming in at QB in 2010, I think the program is in better shape than ever.

We’ve got an overachieving team that just gave Texas its fifth straight bowl win, with three of those coming in prime BCS games. Oklahoma has four straight bowl losses and stands on the edge of a fifth embarrassing loss. Mack Brown is one Jamaal Charles fumble away from winning the last four straight versus Stoops. Texas just moved ahead of OU in BCS Bowl victories.

Advantage: Texas.

As much as ESPN loves Texas (last play of game is the #1 play of the night on ESPN), USC and Utah may slip past them. Utah will not be voted #1. Having typed that, Texas will end up #3.

sure thing

ain’t no such thing. I think we can throw the USC road loss out due to B.Wells and T.Pryor not being at the helm. The PSU game hinged on one critical fumble. This Ohio State team, while discounted, was no joke. They had a real defense and Pryor has a great future ahead.

Is Pryor the Next VY?

Pryor looked okay, but he simply can not pass – at all. Like Vince, he may learn how to throw later in his career.

by Wichita Lineman on Jan 6, 2009 12:02 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

He didn't know when to use his speed.

He had several runs to the right where he could have taken it to the EZ and just played it safe. We were lucky in that respect. Very lucky.

"...our tackling was pretty bad tonight."

What do you think Michigan fans were saying after their performance against Vince Young? It all depends on perspective. We saw athletic greatness; they saw poor tackling.

Tonight, I tend to favor Pryor’s abilities over poor tackling.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 6, 2009 12:14 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think you can really criticize Pryor for his performance

he doesn’t play defense, and he caught what would have been the game-winning TD and the two point conversion (that shoulda been a no-call by the refs, imo).

It isn’t his fault that LB missed the tackle on Cosby.

by Beergut on Jan 6, 2009 12:09 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

The ironic thing about Pryor

is that he might be a better catcher of the ball right now than thrower of it. Both of those catches were excellent.

He’s a terrible thrower though. They had no 3-step or 5-step game with him in there.

by DoubleB on Jan 6, 2009 12:10 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

I think
They had no 3-step or 5-step game with him in there.

That would be more of an indictment of their QB coach/OC than it is of Pryor. He performed ten times better than I thought he would tonight.

They had nothing more than a conventional passing game.

We had DL people back there several times and just couldn’t get under control enough to knock him down. A couple of those sacks and the story changes pretty fast.

Thank Gawd for DVR

We’ve been watching Quan slip through the tOSU defenders for an hour now. Amazing that the buckies did not have anybody deeper – at least a safety on the goal line or sumpin. Bad defensive call on Tressel’s part – good read by ColtQuan. We can’t watch it enough and the announcer kept calling it right – “get it to Quan”.

Congrats from Husker Nation!

Way to represent Longhorns, both your program and the Big 12.

It was an exciting and nailbiting game right to the finish line.

Finally one of your receivers broke a tackle a made a big play—huge play!

Game was similar to the NE/Clemson game, close and hard fought and the good guys prevailed at the end.

I only wish the Horns would have tried to go vertical more and ran Colt on some read option plays. Woulda loosened those guys up some.

Great win, thrilling game!

Their best corner was stuck on Williams all night because he is our deep threat, leaving their nickel backs on Cosby and Shipley and OLB’s on Collins, Kirk, Oggy, Fozzy, etc. Our offense is so diverse that they couldn’t just man up like you could on any normal team.

Well Colt

gave away at least 3 points at the end of the half. They managed nearly 500 yards of offense. Give OSU credit for tackling well (minus the last play).

The one criticism I would make is that they seemed to get away from their quick no-huddle stuff when it was 17-9. They slowed the game down a bit.

I was referring to the fact that they dominated the first half, but were up only 3. We may have put up deceptively similar numbers, but as they say in soccer, the buckeyes had more chances, and they mostly came away empty. It actually reminded me of the game in 05, when OSU also kept settling for field goals.

Even our half-time comment threads said as much, that we were lucky only to be down by 3.

Though we get pissed at your whinning and make stupid comments on these blogs, most OU fans understand your point. Texas screwed up when they lost to Texas Tech. OU fans would be mad at team (especially DB that dropped int) and coaches (internally) – Texas fans push their anger out. If you lose – your team is at the mercy of the voters and computers.

Just Pulling Your Chains

I just get a kick out of your arrogance on the subject. I am a Sooner and it was a nice win. Someone just reminded me that it is 1:00, it is time to go.

hell for me it's 2am but at least I'm on my own team's blog

and I’m enjoying the victory, even though I have to be up in 5 hours. I doubt you’ll have the same “problem” on Thursday night, and you’ll get pleny of rest after the game.

Doing It Wrong

you said “It is 1:00, it is time to go.” What you should have said is “it is 1:00, and OU still sucks.”

You tell your kids

that in 2008 the Longhorns were NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! They don’t need some bs system to tell them otherwise. Any of you guys that are throwing around terms like “ugly win” and “not our best effort” are getting sucked into the mary kay cosmetics game that screwed us in the first place. IT’S A WIN! That was Ohio State out there not boise. Honestly, on Friday Texas, usc, utah and thursday night’s winner can claim a national championship. What a bullshit system that yields 4 teams claiming to be the best. Hook’em…NATIONAL CHAMPS 2008!

Well said...

There is no single champion this year…while they will give away one weak trophy…There will be 4 teams as you say that can claim a piece of that pie.

If there are 4 national champs....

Then there are NO national champs. And I think the latter is more true than the former, because you’re right, the system is completely flawed and incapable of determining any real champ at all.

What a game! This team went out with class and style - and kept us on the edge of our seats if we could even stay in our seats!!!

I was going crazy – I am SOOOOOO GLAD they pulled out another win. What amazing men on this team. Thanks to the coaches and all of the team for never giving up – we knew they had it in them – HOOK ’EM HORNS!!!

Hey at least you guys proved one point tonight

that Texas belonged nowhere near the national Championship game. Way to goo fags..almost lost to the perennial losers OSU! Nice. So the Big 12 has completely embarrassed itself so far…Ok st, Tech, and Texas….Lets Go Okalhoma!! Losers.

whats that?

45-35, pretty sure its 0U that has no place in the national title game. I hope they pan to a closeup of stoops after they lose to florida in another bowl loss while texas is at home with their bowl trophy.

us fags? your team is led by a bitch with a visor superglued to his head. Youre talking quite high and mighty considering the past National championship yall went to in ’05. remember? 55-19 beatdown by USC. The team WE beat the next year

Congratulations, Horns

Way to fight your way back. You did have me scared for a while, though, that we’d all have to listen to the Little 10 for a whole year. Oh, and Cosby is a MONSTER.

I do have one question, though. Since I’m from Tech and thus don’t know much about football, I was hoping you could help me out. Let’s say one team is trailing and they put together a drive to take the lead in the last couple of minurtes. Then the other team, who had been leading the entire half up to that point, gets the ball. They drive length of the field and get a TD pass to regain the lead and win the game in the closing seconds.

Now here’s where I’m lost. Is that a well-deserved, hard-fought, come-from-behind win? Or is that a last-second, undeserving, lucky, miracle fluke? I thought I knew the answer from listening to y’all, but now I’m really confused. [just a little tongue in cheek]

Were you expecting a different response?

You come on a rivals site and post an obvious flame starter and then expect cordial dialog?

Sorry about that

I was so happy, I was just messing around, being called a sooner is no laughing matter. I apologize.

All is good amigo

We were all dizzy with the win. I was yelling my ass off at the tv screen watching the game at the end. I had my bro on the phone and he couldn’t yell cause his kids were asleep so he had to “yell” in whisper. Funny to listen to.

Memories and concerns

I’m a senior at UT with one year left, and I had season tickets alongside my dad (he’s not an alumni, so it felt great that I was the one securing the kick-ass seats we had), and we watched the road games together as well. I will never forget the feeling of running across the house to give my dad a hug when Quan Cosby scored the game-winning TD. Some are going to call it a lucky win, or a dirty win, but it’s still a win. I will never forget the emotions tied into this season, the exciting manner in which it ended, and while it’s not a national championship, it’s still pretty awesome. The fact that I got to share this with my dad is what really makes it for me. Hook ’em.

Concerns

I forgot to mention the concerns part: People are going to accuse Mack of not being the quality coach others are saying he is; instead opting for the “He just has the keys to a nice car that practically drives itself, having access to the best recruits, a tradition-rich program, etc.” Those people need to google John Mackovic and see how well he did as head coach of Texas. It’s not an easy job, and the players aren’t going to do it all for you. Give Mack a few more years to add some hardware to the trophy case then get back to me on your thoughts about his coaching ability.

by Ricky'sDreadlocks on Jan 6, 2009 9:59 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

eh

you could make that case for all the “elite” programs in college football. California and the south//southeast all are rich pickings for recruits. I don’t think that’s fair for people to say that just about Mack.
