Jordan Shipley eclipses the 1000 yard receiving mark
for his 2nd season in a row
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.

Shipley
What a game from him. Really hope he wins the Belitnakoff award..
by hornfan4eva on Nov 7, 2009 2:25 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
he’ll need to finish the season strong and add 1 or 2 PR/KRs
by MJY6087 on Nov 7, 2009 2:27 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He already has two
And receiving TDs really shouldn’t be a factor in the Biletnikoff. What he needs are more receiving touchdowns. He’s on pace for 100+ receptions and 1300+yds.

My bad. Crossed a couple wires. What I mean is that PR/KR TDs shouldn’t be a factor, and that he needs more receiving touchdowns.

Colt and (mostly) roomie
C. McCoy 33/42 470 11.2 2
I left off the INT, just like ESPN does for Tebus.

So, what'd we learn today?
1. We can’t run the ball
2. UCF can’t cover Roomie
3. The officials and the replay booth know who’s paying their salaries
4. The defense doesn’t suck. Still
5. We goddamsure can’t run the ball (except we sorta can out of the Jumbo set)
6. We really need Florida and Bama and LSU to drop a bunch of games so we can play TCU in Pasadena

The Officials
were NOT Big 12 Officials and we do NOT pay their salaries.

The officiating crack dates from a memory of Coach Mammothgino
after his 2004 rant on KU’s late loss to Vince and the ’Horns — about how the big dog gets the calls because it helps the finances, or somesuch Mangino-ism.
BTW: Mangino was right to be irate; his club did get a bad call that day. Texas has caught some very favorable calls this season.

Post-Game React coming later, but from my quick write up for SBNation.com:
Colt McCoy Drops 470 on UCF, Makes Heisman Statement
by Peter Bean • Nov 7, 2009 3:55 PM EST Story-edit
Though Central Florida led 3-0 early in the second quarter, there was never any doubt the undefeated Longhorns were safe from Iowa’s fate. They didn’t lose their quarterback, for one thing. Texas overwhelmed UCF 35-3 behind stellar defense and a huge passing day from Colt McCoy, who completed 33 of his 42 passes for 2 touchdowns and 470 yards, a full 273 of which went to Jordan Shipley. Such extreme aerial explosion mandates further review; to the record books we go:
* Jordan Shipley’s 273 yards receiving shatters the previous school record of 198 set by Johnny “Lam” Jones. (Because I know you’re curious, the NCAA record was set in 1998 by La. Tech’s Troy Edwards, who racked up 405 yards against Nebraska.)
* Colt McCoy’s 470 yards passing leaves well behind the previous school best of 419 set by Chris Simms. (Again, not even in the same neighborhood as the NCAA record — 716 yards, set in 1990 by David Klingler for the run-n-shoot Houston Cougars.)
Great as Texas has been overall, a pedestrian ground game and spotty production from other receivers has literally made the Longhorns’ offense something of a two-man show. Shipley’s 10 receptions today bring his season total to 74 through 9 games; if he continues at his current pace, he’ll finish 2009 with 115 receptions and 1,516 yards, both of which would be single-season school records.
As for McCoy, he already owned virtually all the school’s passing records heading into this year, but today’s gaudy performance will certainly help his chances to do what no Texas quarterback, including the immortal Vince Young, has ever done — win a Heisman Trophy.
You ain't hurt.

McCoy's record
Regular season games only. Major threw for 473 in the immortal Holiday Bowl performance.

Let's not overreact about the run game
When GD actually calls good plays (which he only does in big games for whatever reason) we can be productive. Also, the Knights actually have a pretty good run defense, even by national standards, and I’m sure that a big part of their game plan was to focus on taking away our run game completely (gotta control what you can). Today’s performance was exactly what I expected, we are still the best team in the country. Hook ’em.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!

This is odd
Because most claim that Greg Davis (and yes, they’re assuming that he’s the one tightening up) becomes really, really conservative in the big games, and is only willing to open it up when it’s a smaller matchup.
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 4:26 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
True, but
I think that most people that complain about Greg Davis don’t know that much about the technical side of football, and are really reactionary. I’ve pretty much forced myself to avoid game threads because of it. Compare the nature of the running plays called during the OU, Mizzou, and OSU games with what we’ve done in the rest. Much more motion, misdirection, etc. I’m not saying that GD is without faults (far from it), but he’s better at his job than most people here give him credit for.

Completely abandoned the misdirection running plays today. I liked them a lot.

what's True
Technical/schmechnical…direction/misdirection…we don’t have an Earl or a Ricky or a Cedric to compensate for an OL that jiggles when they move (WHEN they move) and lacks a kick-ass attitude. If our OL were whipping the DL (and not completely missing the blockee) on running plays, then our running backs would look like All-Americans.

running game
the rushing offense is productive enough when it needs to be, the offense’ bread and butter is the passing game, UCF stacked 7-8 men in the box all day.
Of course our running backs coach is a former QB. Not to knock on Major but it seems odd to have him as RB’s coach.

That was a great day and my son’s first Longhorn game. I think he did pretty good. You guys agree?

Rose Bowl
I like that picture……….if only Michigan was the opponent….How many wins are we behind them?(all-time).I think we have a couple of games over nd.
by hunghorn on Nov 7, 2009 4:15 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I think about 40 wins behind
Which could take 10-20 years of sustained superiority.

Well
Given Rodriguez’s record, maybe much sooner.

it's funny that we've been so spoiled by mccoy and shipley
they can put up these kinds of numbers and people appreciate it definitely, but at the same time we are just so used to it, you just read the boxscore and go, “oh yeah 470yds, 273yds, pretty good game.”
I’m really going to miss these two guys. they need to leave texas on top of the college football world. they deserve nothing less.

felt like we didn't finish tackles today.
The D played well but we didn’t wrap up on the RB’s. Punter sucked today. My only worry about this team overall will be when we play a fast D by Florida or Bama. If we can’t run the ball against them they will make Colt’s day a living hell with the speed blitz. Go Horns. Greg Davis sux. late! Going to eat some elk!

the lack of offensive balance two years running doesn’t please anyone…
by Displaced Longhorn on Nov 7, 2009 10:25 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
This is college football
Offensive balance isn’t necessarily necessary. Teams can win championships with unbalanced offenses. Remember the very run-heavy national title run with Vince?

I don't care about balance for statistics' sake
I care because establishing the run opens up the passing game, and vice-versa. If we play an opponent with hot DBs, this could be a problem.
Also, VY is a red herring. The man was a freak – in a good way. :)
Watch out, I bite.

Colt McCoy has proven he can be just as much the freak
Except in the passing game.

McCoy to Shipley
They’ve been so good for this offense thise year, it makes me a little worried about next year. I wish Gilbert had a little more time on the field but UCF just ate up a lot of clock today.

What are the odds the Land Thieves lose the rest of the way...
… and end up missing a bowl for the first time under Stoops? After the pathetic performance last night, no doubt they lose in Lubbock, but can the “good” aTm team show up next weekend? Can the Cowboys finally live up to expectations and win the Bedlam Series? Will the Sooners end up 5-7?

by patienthornsfan on Nov 8, 2009 5:56 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
Well...
OU has Aggie, Tech, and Pokes left.
Depending on which Tech team shows up, but the Raiders stand a good chance of taking down the Sooners in Lubbock for a few key reasons.
-Speedy DE’s: Tech’s Defensive front will pose problems for OU’s O-Line as they have the speed advantage over OU’s oversized and generally incompetent blockers. Landry will have no time to throw and he will force mistakes.
-The game is in Lubbock: I know they havent been lights out this year at home, but they seem to play up to the level of their opponent when they play at Jones Stadium. They always give OU fits. Crazed fans, possible blackout game. Tech will come out and set the tempo early and force Jones to beat them with his arm. Tech wins 28-14
Now, I expect OU to bounce back from their loss to Nebraska and put a beatdown on the Aggies this week. (I think its this week). The Aggies’ Defense has holes like a china cap, and OU will very much be able to control the Aggies ground game, forcing JJ to try and beat them through the air. Not happening. OU over TAMU 35-14
The Pokes pose a different story. In my mind, this is the game that decides who will go to the Cotton Bowl or the Holiday Bowl, or maybe even the Alamo. The Bedlam game itself, is called the Toilet Bowl. I expect to see ALOT of Beal and McCoy in the backfield, destroying Robinson’s game. I think OU will win this one, but OSU’s tendency to run the ball and play a balanced style of game from their offense will make this game much shorter. I’m taking OU 24 – OSU 13.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
by kriess on Nov 8, 2009 10:59 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The challenge I have is all three of these teams have been Jeckyll & Hyde this season. Tech loses to Aggie but destroys Nebraska. OSU’s D looked really good yesterday. So the Sooners could win out or lose out. Sucks to be Sooner Fan right about now either way…
