Get Well E. Acho

by burntup on Oct 23, 2010 5:08 PM CDT

So Iowa St. cannot score a point over the last 2 weeks and then come out and beat the horns with the runs straight up the middle. E. Acho is the Texas defense, and he was sorely missed today. Dunston Earnest had a bad day over pursuing on pass rushes and missing tackles. Congrats to Iowa St for taking advantage of the opportunity. I also did not see Hicks on the field which was surprising..

Prediction - If E. Acho is out next week, Texas struggles with Baylor.

Given how Baylor is playing today right now

My prediction is that: even if E Acho returns, Texas struggles against Baylor.

Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you soon enough. If he's not, don't embarrass him.

Texas struggles with a junior high team right now.

41-38 !!

Blaming this loss on Acho uno ocho

is like blaming the Johnstown Flood on a leaky faucet in Altoona. (Sorry for the old, bad comparison.)

EAcho may be good, may be better than that . . . but teams are made up of 35 or 40 players who see regular field time. Losing one player ain’t the difference in winning and losing. Or in hustling.

Losing one player ain’t the difference in winning and losing.

May I direct your attention to January 2010?

Acho’s absence is not like that.

ISU is the 2nd worst Big 12 team

Kansas is the worst. Texas can lose to any team right now.SAD

Wrong

Colorado is much worse than ISU.

Kansas < CU < Tech < A&M / Texas (TBD) < ISU < Kstate

They aren’t as bad as you are making them out to be. They aren’t a good team; there is no excuse to lose to them at home, but they aren’t a bottom dweller any more. They are improving under Rhodes.

E. ACHO

What happened to him? I knew coming in that Jeffcoat, Robinson, Vaccarro were hurt but not him.

He injured his knee in the Nebraska game...

He was a game time decision but couldn’t run before the game so he didn’t play.

Huh?

Linebackers

Why did we not see Hicks ?? Could have done better then that slow #42.

nobody seems to know.

I’ve asked the same question twice. He was flagged for a personal foul against the Cornnuts, but so was Aaron Willams. And Gideon’s been hit with some serious penalties, too. Jordan was credited with 1 assisted tackle against Iowa State. I ddin’t realize he was ever on the field.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
