It never should have been his first action of the season
That was just dumb coaching
This one's entirely on the coaching staff
1) No meaningful snaps for your back-up all year, for no reasons at all, when half the UT community had been screaming for it.
2) Once you do put the back-up in, you give him absolutely no chance to succeed. If they had continued the game-plan that they had designed for Colt, sure GG was going to make a few mistakes, but there was at least a small chance we’d maintain momentum. By calling no real plays for 4 straight possessions, and giving Alabama all the momentum, we had NO chance.
I HATE I HATE I HATE these offensive coaches.
me too.
this is just too damn bad
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
Actually been pretty impressed with GG
both of his first two drives were ended by receiver errors
Buckner had a first and Malcolm had a touchdown and both dropped catchable balls from GG
Yes receivers were at fault but both times he threw missles. And he also had 1 forgivable and 1 unforgivable TO.

C'mon ya'll... don't give up.
our D is great at forcing turnovers. we need 2 or 3 in the 2nd half CMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gilbert
But it’s a test for both Muschamp and Gilbert. Do we have a chance?
Coach Boom had better shape up the defense
GD…well, he needs to put Gilbert in a position to do ANYTHING positive. That’s not a very high bar, but damn.
The defense is doing as well as they can against an incredibly talented back. That’s why he won the Heisman. What concerns me is the time the D is on the field. They will just tire with Ingram beating them down on every run.
As well as they can?
Is that what you call almost 10 yards every touch? Or a 49yd. run to Richardson?
I think Boom’s boys could do better than that.

Gilbert
You could see the emotion and tears in his eyes. His teammates need to build him up at halftime. He can do this.
And the receivers need to step up and give him some damn help.
Absolutely
Malcolm whiffed, big time. I put 14pts. out of the 21pt. difference on him.

This is not on GD...
GG is young, this is his very first real action of the season…against the Bama D.

this doesn't count, right?
i mean how could ‘bama claim a MNC if we don’t even have Colt fucking McCoy, GD isn’t helping, but who could really as a true freshman to win a NC?
I would agree if
our defense was playing better. But since they put up points they can argue they would have won anyway
i would like see Sherrod get a shot
But i’m still hoping for Colt to come back!
Defense played well
What’s the status on colt???

I remember Colt coming back too early very early in his football career. He was not himself.
Probably better to let GG adjust

"Stats are for losers. I like winning games." - Will Muschamp

GG is capable of a couple of TDs in the 2nd half
But will probably turn it over once or twice. The D and special teams have to make it happen to have a chance.
Sorry to say a blowout more likely…
This makes me sad
All the waiting, all the hype. To go out this way is going to hurt for a while. I hope they keep playing hard. It would be nice if our receivers would have caught the f-ing ball but not much to be done about that now.
Is this the kind of moment
that hurls an empire into ruins?

ya'll are looking kind of ohiostateish
circa 2006.
Not the same, but there is at least a string of similarity. Ohio State lost their first round NFL talent Ted Ginn on the opening kickoff. McCoy means exponentially more to Texas than Ginn did, but with him gone the Buckeyes couldn’t get past the Florida Press and ended up getting blown the hell out.
There is good news...
At least we aren’t getting run over by Cincinnati and then have our QB who complain that the defense moves too much since that’s what defenses do. You know, confuse QBs. That’s their job.

“Texas has a problem. Alabama is better than Texas without McCoy.”

I might be hopelessly confident, but I have faith. Whether Colt comes back or not, I think if we can keep opening up the playbook, make some plays on offense (looking at YOU WRs), and get our stops when we need them we can have a shot.
Start gaining some confidence with this 1st drive. We get the ball back to start, lets go!

I’m a going to slam a 24 oz. Shiner I bought just for this kind of moment (I usually only drink light beer) and believe that we can really do this. Another moment to remember.
Right On!
Horrible Coaching, Tackling
Our defense is acting like they’ve never been taught to tackle correctly. Arm tackling, grabbing at feet, flailing about, trying to dive at the ball carrier with a shoulder. Seriously, it’s like a bunch of 10 year old epileptics out there trying to play defense.
Our coaches are pissing themselves and cowering in fear and confusion. I don’t care how awesome Gilbert was in HS, this is Texas vs. Bama in the NC. I don’t care if they have to put an offensive lineman in at quarterback, the coaches need to get somebody in there who can make plays!
Even though I'm a KU fan, I feel for you guys and for Colt right now
But you aren’t out of this yet. Bama still can’t pass so if Muschamp can figure out how to hamper the run a bit in the second half you have a shot. Gilbert is going to have to come back swinging, but I’m guessing half time is a giant pump up session right now. Theres a reason they play two halves.

This is horrible for Colt, other players
to have worked for 4 years to get this point, getting screwed last year, to go out in the 1st drive when we look like we’re ready to play is absolutely sickening
We're not done
We’ve been down before. What makes us different from everyone else is that WE DO NOT GIVE UP!
TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe Gilbert is going back in.
It’s not like he is having his redshirt taken off. He’s practiced all year with the understanding that this could take place. He should have been prepared. He can’t cut it, obviously, and we can’t win with our crappy running game alone.
Never thought I'd hear that.

Can we please not take it out on GG? He’s being asked to do the impossible.
"If you kick like that, you can wear a tutu for all I care."
I disagree.
He isn’t being thrown in out of a redshirt. He practiced and prepared all season for this sort of thing.
Or he should have, at least.
With the second team
So he has no timing with these receivers or rapport with this line. Its pretty tough against the best defense in the country
by 2.1 seconds left on Jan 7, 2010 9:36 PM CST up reply actions
BS
he is not prepared for the Alabama Defense in the NCG on national TV for his first real game. That’s a stupid comment
sorry, I'm just pissed.
about the “stupid” thing.
Actually
the coaches decided, voluntarily and consciously, not to give him any meaningful snaps all season. Often when were comfortably ahead. He was lucky to get in the game with more than 5 minutes left, and he pretty much always just handed off.
This isn’t on Gilbert. This is just a crappy, crappy situation. Considering all he has to deal with, he hasn’t lost his composure. You could see the tears in his eyes after that TD before halftime, but he has come out this half, looking ready to play.
This isn’t a great evening for him, but I’m excited about the future with Gilbert.

Wow.
Anyone who thinks you can get by with a star QB and no skilled backups is a moron. And apparently was in a coma when we lost McCoy to K-State (and he was out of whack for almost 2 years).
So what's your point?
That Gilbert’s not playing as well as McCoy might have?
Okay, point taken.
by burntorangehorn on Jan 7, 2010 9:40 PM CST up reply actions
My point is . . .
. . . that GG is obviously not prepared, and that falls squarely on the shoulders of coaches who didn’t prepare adequately. A better backup should have been in place. And to continue to use GG is moronic.
I'm saying you can't get good backups when you have an entrenched starter for several years
Thats why Jevan Snead left, its why you couldn’t get any good QB recruits till this year

It’s questionable whether even a seasoned senior, as we saw with Tebow, Crompton, and some others, would be ready for a game against a very good defense.

It seems like . . .
. . . Muschamp has keyed in the run D finally, so we might see more.
Can the defense just go both ways?
Most of those guys played offense in high school
Holy moley . . .
. . . at least we’re playing run D now, but couldn’t we have done it all game?
Now go out and take advantage, O!

it helps that
we aren’t working on our 10th consecutive 3 and out – D more rested. Also helps that bama has no reason to pass again
Kind of a bummer
that we all had to wade through five weeks of meaningless exhibition bowl games only to have the only meaningful game of the post-season to end up lopsided due to McCoy going down.

It's one thing to clearly lose . . .
. . .but it sucks to lose with so many crappy variables:
-big injury
-breaking in a true freshman QB
-two crap penalty calls at crucial junctures.
I am not embarrassed. The Horns played a great 2nd half and showed heart.
Thanks for a great year Texas
Not bitter, really . . . proud of Texas fighting back . . .
BUT . . . it’s more like Bama didn’t lose rather than did win.
Enjoy it while it lasts Bama
Saban won’t be around long
Colt out, and it came down to a last minute turnover
I hate to go all Aggy on y’all, but I think its a moral victory.

GG's narrative as our future QB just got way, way epic
Feel so bad for Colt, though
No one to blame but ourselves....
Sure Colt got knocked out. That end of half TO really killed us. I think we still might have won if if we didnt give that turnover. Garrret gilbert showed some bright spots, but i feel very uneasy if he started next year. Bama fans should be thanking Texas not there own team. They were worse than us, we shot ourelves in the foot
Agree
with most but I feel pretty confident about Gilbert next year. That wasnt a bad defense he played against and outside of a couple plays, I thought he did a great job considering the circumstances.
The "Big Bang" was actually a Will Muschamp chestbump......with the Earth!

He should enter 2010 hungry and angry. Now he knows he can handle it. Texas will be underrated next year and he should help them climb the charts as the season goes on.
Could be a very good year next year.
Love the duplicity of the blog
Classlessness accusations and then making fun of a man who fell on hard times and was doing what he could to make money. Yes it was illegal and now he’s serving his time. There’s nothing else to it than that. He was at one point a great player, and as a Giants fan I know this first hand. He made some bad decisions and is paying the price for it.
The reason I have a problem
Is that they would not shut up about his father. It was bad the 1st time. But they kept talking about it.

i would be more sympathetic if he didn’t make the mistake TWICE!!! i understand the guy made a mistake and as humans we all do, but the guy kept doing it.

I was very impressed by your team as well. I have always grown up loving to hate the Big 12 but you are a classy team and fought a great battle. Your backup was FANTASTIC for the settings.
Saban is a dick. A machine really that just grinds it out and up until the score, which I just saw as moving the clock more, and then Greg doing the horn was unneeded and tarnished an enjoyable game.
And hey, Colt had a great season and while he should have gotten it last year, that young man has a great future! Had you had him all game it may have been different, had we had Ingram all game we can say the same.

I was watching to enjoy a good game, but this classless accusations? If you can’t stop them when you know they’re going to run, they will score. It wasn’t late enough clock wise to kneel down, still 2 minutes + left. As for Horns Down, its a hand symbol. Get over it. Both teams played an excellent ball game, and that Gilbert kid’s going to bring the Longhorns back to the title game. Colt getting hurt sucks.
There was ONE MINUTE LEFT
Second down. Texas had one timeout. Go blow.

by iamjackburton on Jan 7, 2010 11:27 PM CST up reply actions
By the end of the drive,yes
But that drive started with nearly 3 minutes on the clock. 1 time out or not 3 kneels and a punt is not going to run out the clock in that situation. Plus, if you’re a so called Longhorns fan, you should still believe your team can win it in 2 minutes or at least tie. TD, onside, FG and its OT. Its not impossible, improbable though. I don’t see a problem with it from an outsiders perspective.
There was 47 seconds left
When Bama scored. That was on 2nd down. You guys could have easily taken a knee and chose not to. It was running up the score, pure and simple. And this is coming from a fan that isn’t exactly heartbroken that the bane of Nebraska’s existence went down in a gutwrenching fashion tonight.
For that, I give your coach the stamp of “classless.”

Sure it was heartbreaking to see the game come apart at the end, but about halfway through the 4th quarter I’m already getting pumped about Garrett next season. Cannot wait for 2010 season to get underway. Hook’em Horns!
GG showed tons of promise
He went from “Holy crap you want me to play? I’m gonna get killed!” to “Bama isn’t so tough! Let’s do this!” I think he’ll get us very far in the coming years and I’m looking forward to it.
Great game
Props to Texas, from a die hard Husker, you all mad pretty good lemonade from the pile of shit that lady luck gave you. that game would have been absolutely different if Colt didn’t get injured but it happens.

We’re comin BABY!!!
WTF...
why r u talkin bout the big 10?? lol i always knew bama fans can’t count more then whats on the two hands…
wish we had a couple of things...
i’m honestly not too upset. here’s what i saw:
i give these kids high marks for not giving up and fighting ‘bama until the end. well, most of ’em. i counted six dropped passes that were catchable, and that may be short. the entire receiving corps should be sat down and their jobs given to others that can produce when it’s important
33 seconds left in the half, and we’re behind 17-6. you either a) take a knee twice and be happy to go to the locker room (my choice), or b) you’ve got two chances to heave the ball forty yards downfield and hope for the best. the texas play caller calls a sweep. that’s okay. then calls a time out. huh? WTF? and then he calls a shovel pass to the middle of the field. against a defensive line that’s stuffed it up our ass for two quarters. and we give up a pointless touchdown with 3 seconds left in the half. and we’re fighting that score the rest of the game
we come out and take charge of the game, and outscore ‘bama 14 points in the second half. but we’re still behind. because of that dumbass call at the end of the half. it’s breaking our backs. so we still have to roll the dice, and we can’t do it one more time. the texas offensive coordinator, who called this crap at the end of the half, should be fired. sorry, but i have no pity for failure. texas has been the worst at managing the last two minutes of a half this year that i’ve ever seen in my life. yes, i could do it better. this guy needs to be fired. it almost cost us the nebraska game. it did cost us the championship game
’bama is the best team in college football. scoreboard said so. all my respect to them
my last two thoughts: apparently, it’s okay to commit defensive pass interference against texas. it happened a lot. a whole lot
and i gained a lot of respect for ‘bama tonight. i thought saban’s remarks, both at the half at the end of the game, were very respectful. and the kid that intercepted the pass with less than two minutes to go simply fell down. these are class acts. you won’t see that from ocho-what’shisface or any NFL player or coach. they have no class. i grew up in texas, and i really wanted to win this game, and i have a lot of respect for ’bama tonight
Nice reasonable post.
I’m proud of our guys – fought back and came very close. I think they earned the respect of the nation, too. And certainly all of the sports bloggers, commentators, etc.
I don’t really respect Bama. I was feeling generous until they showed some classless antics at the end. Even without that, they won by default. A win is a win, sure, but even Saban knew that his team didn’t perform up to what everyone thought (and so tried to pile on points). Given our mistakes and the loss of McCoy, they should’ve creamed us! Instead, they almost lost.
I don't have respect for Saban or McElroy
Saban didn’t take a knee to run out the clock in the victory formation, because he didn’t want the history books to show how close he was to losing to a Freshman backup QB.
And McElroy… First, I’m not too upset with the upside down horns at the end of the game, one in which he personal was dominated, because all other teams are jealous that we are the only team with a cool hand sign. That, and he hates on Texas like almost every body else in the nation.
Second, the way he was so excited when they ran up the score at the end of the game, a game again inwhich he was one of the worst players and totally shut down, shows he has no class like his coach.
And then in an after game interview, was talking about how disappointing that they came out flat in the second half. Please McElroy, don’t try to be like your coach or you will never be happy in life. Or have any class. God love ya, but I don’t repect ya.
i agree, somewhat...
yeah, i didn’t think ‘bama needed to score at the end. they should have taken a knee. but don’t blame the kids, blame the coach. you can’t tell the kids not to try their hardest. the coach has to tell them to sit on the ball. i thought this was a poor point for saban. but i thought his remarks at the end of the half were quite classy. i was surprised to see ‘bama not sit on the ball at the end, but it didn’t matter.
we still need a new offensive coordinator. and a new receiving corps
You are right about our coordinator and receivers
Greg Davis isn’t the worst OC out there, but it has become painfully obvious that he is also not one of the best. For every good play call, and we had a lot to get back into it, there is one that is just boneheaded. That shovel pass sealed the game for us against a great team. 18 points was just too much. I know it is usually a safe pass, but with your Frosh QB getting beat up and 10 seconds on the clock, just go into halftime and figure it all out.
I hope our incoming freshman will pain out quick and not drop EVERY FRECKIN BALL. Just terrible.
