PrintTexas leads 24-7 at half behind some great plays made and some good luck with plays OSU did not make... Shocking and outrageous are the five-wide, empty sets on offense, the 'Horns are in great shape at intermission following the beautiful McCoy-to-Malcolm touchdown with seconds to go.
Let's close this out...

I think GD comes back with 11 personnel with EBS to start the 2nd half.
D still needs a blow.

Last year I felt Texas pulled off in the second half
in anticpation of going to Tech. I don’t think that will happen this year.
Blow off their doors and head back home.
The empty set had nothing to do with that, I'm sure

Question:
Some of the choices that Colt makes seem really weird… would you pass 3 yards out when you know you need ~15… he seems to does this often. really pisses me off
So you'd prefer he try to force something that isn't there and risk a turnover?
the man, the myth, the legend.
Well, is he even looking at other options?
He focuses on Ship too much and seems to “decide” pre-snap
I could agree with you during another game...tonight doesn't support your point though

Zac Ribinson is not a great QB. good…but not great. he put up good numbers against Baylor, Grambling, etc., but he plays a good D and look what happens
I'm not sure who was saying he was "great"

OSU should have a TD in the first quarter

The more I think about it, the less convinced I am that he'll jump
He’s 5’10" at best, which means he’s probably not going to get the greatest report on his draft stock, unless a team wants to move him to corner.

Bob Sanders would be a nice comparison
He seems to play smarter (lower-risk) football than Sanders at this point in his career than Sanders did, though.

Rationale and reason never hold
in the polls. see 2008.
OSU will beat Texas Tech
but Tech will beat OU. I am holding to my summer prediction.
Apparently they're too stupid to try to taunt through the curtains.
It’s not like they don’t know the players and coaches are on the other side of it.
TEXAS FIGHT
If the fans can't see them,
then the ’Horns cannot exist.
Maybe they don't know there's anything on the other side.
This is the state of Oklahoma after all…

(4) TCU

I hate ranking BSU that high, but they beat Oregon.

Not odd at all
Whom has TCU beaten? No one, while BSU has beaten Oregon.

A&M
I don’t expect it to be a blowout, but who knows. We continue to underestimate our own team. A&M could come into that game demoralized by OU from the previous week.

The Aggies are always up for the game. They will hang in there for a while, but they have to be extremely concerned about their o-line vs. or front. They are playing a bunch of freshmen.

Saw a great piece with him and they interviewd him... he was just a humble good kid.

Nice to see them play in the Holiday Bowl
OU vs USC in the Holiday Bowl would be very good matchup.

I'd like to see OU v. Oregon in the Holiday bowl, but I'm cruel like that.

Division title
So, Texas would have to lose two games to remaining conference opponents, including one of them to a2m and/or Tech (who would also have to win all remaining conference games) in order to NOT win the division title.
That’s good shape.

Yeah but...
not good shape for making it to the MNC.

Robert Smith Declares Horns #1
I have heard so many announcers calling the Horns the best we may actually be number 1 tomorrow
Very dominant performance
Hard to argue, except when one reads from the book of Acts of Tebow.
by burntorangehorn on Oct 31, 2009 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions
After all the struggles
the Heisman might come down to Tebow vs McCoy after all.
